Yes.. bypass = using 5v USB connection.
Fully charge 18650 max is at 4.2v.
Unless it has built in flux capacitor...
I thought the OP was running the mod in VW (variable wattage mode)Yes.. bypass = using 5v USB connection.
Fully charge 18650 max is at 4.2v.

If so the 1.85ohm coil is within the specs, according to Joytech
VT mode is 0.05-1.0ohm
Yes.. but 5v doesn't equal the 4.2v battery output. Hence the bypass is required to have the coil work properly.
You don't need to change the wick that often. I can make it to well over a month. Change the wick when the taste isn't as good anymore or when it doesn't wick as well as before.

That's how I read it.. depending on which mode it is on.
If it's using single 18650 battery.. it's draining it fast at 5v.
3, 5, or 7v, makes no difference. The amp draw (and thus the battery runtime) depends on the set watts, not the coil resistance (which doesn't matter at all).

The mod doesn't draw the power from the charger when vaping, it turns of the charging when vaping and simply draws the current from the battery (thus "passthrough" isn't really the right term). The current isn't sufficient (probably 1 amp maximum). The mod bucks and boosts, and can thus provide more or less volts than the current battery charge (otherwise it wouldn't be a regulated device at all). Not sure what the maximum voltage the mod can provide is.Yes.. bypass = using 5v USB connection.
Fully charge 18650 max is at 4.2v.

No you are reading it wrong, that's just for VT (variable temperature) mode with nickel, titanium or stainless steel wire. In VW (variable wattage) and bypass (unregulated, raw battery voltage applied) modes it can go up to 3.5 ohms with Kanthal, nichrome, or stainless steel (yes SS wire can be used in either mode).
Unless you bought Authentic kangertech coils from Fasttech, your coils aren't going to be that great. Hit or miss. As much as possible, spend the extra $ or two to get authentic coils. Via Fasttech, sweet-vapes or where ever you may get them from.
I don't even remember when I've had to change a coil due to necessity. I usually change them when I feel like making a new one. The benefits of tc.

there is nothing wrong with using premade coils, not everyone has the time or dex to wrap them... but you really should take a look at what you order, when you order, so you know the res and type of coil you're putting in. some do require special treatment like TC or not going above a certain wattage. I thought about going the same route as you and saw there were hundreds of various res and metals and too many that didn't even say what kind they were.. with a nickel allergy, I decided to make my own.
this site is your friend Coil wrapping
when you place the coil into your rba and have it secured:
dry fire it and watch how it heats, is it glowing orange from the middle? no? you might have to stroke it or compress it with tweezers a few times, cooling in between a bit, until it does.
then you wick it
how often do you wick? well it depends on flavour and if you accidently burned the wick or it's all gummed up.
if it's starting to lose flavour, it's reached saturation, so change it then.
if you've run it dry and burned the wick.. yep change it.
if it's gummed up, you can wash and dry it and reuse, but most wicking is cheap so changing it is just easier.
most of the time it's just changing the wicking and giving a quick clean to the coil.
keep in mind the limits of the mod/battery you're using as well.
