I started vaping 2 months ago and the local vape store sold me an m14 tank with an evod battery. They also sold me a pack of coils at 1ohm. This worked fine but I feared running out of coils so I went back to buy some more but they were out of 1 ohm and sold me .8 ohm coils.
They fire great and it vapes well, but my question is, is it safe to run .8 ohm coils on a little evod stick battery.

Thanks,
Chuck

Really need more info on the specific ego you are using, but .8 ohms on a fully charged ego would require 5.25 amps. That sounds like a lot of current from the ego but I have no idea what it's rated current (CDR) is. If your ego begins getting excessively warm that would be a good indication of too low resistance.

Yes the resistance load is to low for the battery, yet the control board has a max current of 2.5amps through the switch, so all it gives is that 2.5amps max, which loses in the voltage output, similar in how it work with a mosfet in a mech box mod, or close to it.

@OP
Get online and if they make them, get coils in the 1.5ohm area for that tank, or your other option would be to get an Ego One battery or Aspire's equivalent which can handle reliably a 0.5ohm load.

The Evod is regulated to 3.7 volts, but limited to 2.5A. That means with anything less than 1.5 ohms on it the voltage regulator is hitting the 2.5A safety limit and reducing the power. I would buy 1.5 - 1.8 ohm coils so I was not pushing the regulator passed what it can do without the power limiting kicking in all the time.
