Worth trying, but just be mindful. I know SI specifically says it's not a good idea to use 1.8-2 ohms on their mini batteries, which are basically the same as Halo (same voltage). A few tenths of an ohm can be a big difference in terms of what a small battery can handle.

EDIT: If memory serves it's because a 1.8-2 ohm carto pushes the current over 2 amps on a 3.7v battery, and the minis can't handle that. The 2.1-2.3 would only be around 1.6 amp

At 3.7v a 2 ohm atty puts you at 1.85 amps, a 2.3 ohm atty is at 1.61 amps. Freshly charged, at 4.2v, it steps you up to 2.1 amps with a 2 ohm atty.
I know, splitting hairs, but wanted to clarify that.

With these kind of numbers, splitting hairs can make a difference. I was using the low end of the resistance range, more of an outside case. They're anywhere from 1.8 to 2 ohms, so it's a dice roll where one would actually be in the range. The low side could cause problems, I wouldn't use one without putting a meter on it first personally

This of course, doesn't allow for battery "sag" as it would under that load, so even fully charged it shouldn't be over 2 amps. I was at a local shop yesterday and the owner was trying to use 1.5 ohm DCT's on an EGO and exclaimed that some work some don't. I didn't bother getting into the explanation with him, he's a nice guy and he'll figure it out soon!
Personally, I wouldn't have a problem running 2 ohm cart's on an EGO, but I can't say I'd see the need either. The 3 ohm's produce plenty of vapor and throat hit on standard V4L batteries. Much better than V4L's standard cart's IMO, and hold a LOT more juice!
I would NOT however, consider anything less than 2 ohms! 2 ohms is pushing it, anything less is ASKING for it!
