LR were designed to go on the eGo with its limited volts, so you are right where you should be to get the best vape for the equipment. If you use a higher resistance, the thing won't have enough volts to even get you to the wattage needed for a decent hit. I can't remember if those are 3.2 or 3.7, but in any case with a 1.8 you are in the 5 - 7 watt range which will produce vapor. A SR on one won't be enough to produce strong vapor.

So don't worry about the battery, worry about the vape!

1.8 ohms single coil on a 650 mAh battery is asking a bit much. Even if using an IMR battery you will not get a very useful charge life with this battery capacity. A protected ICR battery for this application is a no-go.

I'd say OK, if you are not a smoker looking for an alternative to smoking. If you are a non-smoking e-cig dabbler, it should work for you.

if we are talking in safety terms only, what mAH is the lowest you can go with a 1.8ohm clearo/carto? I've got a couple of volt cig-a-likes (220 and 320mAH i believe). I don't mind about slightly shorter battery life because they last me about 3 days each, I just want to know I'm not going to kill the battery or cause a fire or anything, but I'd like to get a bit more flavour from the juice, I get plenty of vapour but not so much flavour and I'm hoping a LR will give me that.

    Most say don't go lower than 450mAh with LR stuff. Actually the reason there even is a 1.7ohm SmokTech carto is for the little eGo type batteries. (1.7ohms @ 3.4v = aprox 7 watts.)
    The actual reason for not using LR is because the smaller the battery the less amps it can deliver without damaging itself.
