what kind of battery are you running it on, maybe the coils arent the correct listed resistance. Lower ohm coil on same voltage should hit stronger, but lower ohm coil on same wattage hits weaker, at least from my experience.
I'm using an MVP 2 on 3.8 volts... I'm not really into watts lol
Idk what it is... It reads as 1.0 so I know they're the correct resistance

The devil is in the details. Which we don't really know. But that won't stop me from speculating! 
My guess is the two coils use different wire gauges. A thin 1.5 ohm coil can heat up more rapidly and produce a more focused heat than a thick 1 ohm coil. Or vise versa. It's not all about the resistance. It's just as much about the other physical properties of the coil. Mainly wire thickness/gauge.

maybe its just a crappy rolled coil or wicking in there, a lower resistance coil should hit harder than higher resistance at same voltage
Not really sure why. Setting to 3.8V on the MVP2 will give you 9.6 watts on the 1.5 ohm coil but 11 watts on the 1.0 ohm coil (it calculates out to 14.4, but the MVP is limited to 11 watts). You should get a slightly harder vape on the 1.0.
Besides a possible wire gauge difference, the 1.5 ohm coil isn't wicking fast enough to keep the coil cool.
Even a 5 ohm coil can get to hot if it doesn't have both air & liquid to keep it cool.
It works just like your car engine. Combustion heats the engine, and the cooling system keeps the engine running at the proper temperature.

Eh. You could make a 1 ohm coilwith too big wire and too many wraps and it would take forever to ramp up at those volts so you really wouldn't be getting a good hit.
It's all about the balance. Lower ohm doesn't necessarily mean harder hitting. A lot more involved than just resistance.

Interesting stuff
The 1.5 I'm using is the one that came with the evod 2, whilst the 1.0 is in a pack of 5... They're authentic though as they came from MBV...

Idk but it's the evod 2 dual coils from Kangertech, so I guess they know what they're doing
Dual coil = 2x the amount of vapor and nicotine ( in most cases) and your hitting the power limit so its not as hot as it should be.

looks like your mvp just isnt built for running lower ohm coils. it's not vaping at 3.7 volts. You're only getting 3.3volts out of it since the mp2 is limited to 11 watts, which is an extremely weak vape.
because lower ohm number doesn't mean higher heat or more surface area...... It just means the coil will draw more wattage. examples of .5ohm dual coil drawing 30 watts (mech), 30awg heat flux @534. 29awg 337, 28awg 266, 27awg 188, 26 133.
The coil build combined with the wire size can have a big impact on what you get. Maximized surface area and proper heat to the coils really determines the clouds. The impact of resistance is easily offset by the other factors.
So I got a pack of 1.5's today and tried one to make sure that it's the coils and not the ohm. Something is still different... Different from the 1.5 coil that came with the Evod 2 which is perfect. Idk what it is I got it from MBV so they're authentic
A 1.5 ohm dual coil is going to be different from a 1.5 ohm single coil.
Type of wire and thickness of wire are also important; the thickness (wire gauge) is probably the most important thing.
Sure... But what I'm sayin is that coils from the same company should be equal in strength if they're the same resistance
Well to take it to the extreme for example, you could get 1 ohm from 24g kanthal at 14 wraps with 2mm ID and at 3.8 volts you'd take a while to ramp up and get any kind of decent vapor/hit.
Or 30g kanthal at 4 wraps on 2mm and 3.8 volts would turn that coil white almost instantaneously.
Both are rather impractical builds, just saying ohms is just one small part of the equation.
Well certainly not in the case of single coil compared to dual coil, and 1.5 ohm would be a perfect example.
