mod: K-100
Battery: AW IMR 18490
rba: AGA-T3
Coil: 28-30g Kanthal @ around 1.3ohm
Extras: Kick 2 set at 8W
Vape2Safe fuse

Assuming I build a good coil with no shorts, am I good to go?
How high can I turn my Kick 2 up and be okay?
I don't want to take my coil below 1.3ohm since im only using a single coil, but maybe that's okay?
I think ive done enough research but I still have some doubts, please help me out I want to enjoy rba's. not fear them :(
I've got my multimeter and Ohms law calculator ready, please lay some knowledge on me!

Yes its safe. The Vape2Safe fuse will ensure you're not going to blow up and will automatically cut the power if its too much for the battery.
So, with your ohms calculator you can see 1.3ohms @ 8w = 3.22V & 2.48A all of which is perfectly safe. Try it at 15w and see the difference.

If you replicated that coil and added it to your current set up for dual coils, it would be half of the resistance (1.3 / 2 = 0.65ohm) and that's sub ohming and something I personally wouldn't recommend. Plugging that into the calculator you'd see the much higher amps drawn on the battery.
