Cubis/AIO coils have been a mixed bag for me. Slow wicking, lack of flavor....

The mouth-to-lung coils (0.6Ω, 1.0Ω, 1.5Ω) don't seem to do as well with thick liquids. I have not tried the 0.5Ω coil in the AIO, mostly because I found it pretty flavorless in the Cubis.

That being said, I have not had much trouble with the 0.6Ω coils in the AIO. I accidentally pocket fired one and burned it up, but I'm still using the 2nd included coil without any burning or other trouble.

Tomorrow I will be trying a 1.0Ω SS coil in my AIO to see how well it does. It was my favorite in the Cubis. I'm a little concerned the lack of adjustability on the AIO might make the 1.0Ω coil seem a little weak, but it's worth a shot.

I tried a 0.6 ohm SS coil I got from a different store and no burn problems this time at all with AIO. It is possible the problem was limited with the coil that came with it. Can't be sure because I stupidly used different liquid with the new coil, so there is some chance that the liquid had some role in this too.

I also wanted to see if the AIO and Cubis leaked during a flight and both held up nicely, without any leaking. Had also Nautilus tank with me to compare and that one was completely drenched.

I think I like the taste from Nautilus better, but AIO and Cubis are much better for travel.

Essentially what you purchased is an UN regulated mechanical mod, meaning the coil dictates the wattage output, which means right now your producing with a fresh charge about 29 watts down to 17 watts as the battery charge diminishes, with a 1.5 ohm coil you would start with about 11 watts and will have a slower "ramp up time" to heat the coil and produce less vapor
The battery charges up to 3.9 volts, and turns off at 3.3 volts. So 25.3 watts down to 18.1 watts.

Same problem both 0.6 coils only lasted a day each.Tried a 1.5 coil from my Cubis tank and lasted only 3 days.Have sent off for more 0.6 coils to see if they last any longer.

Got 5 new genuine 0.6 ohm coils ,same thing burnt coils after a day.
Either horrendous quality control or just plain crap coils.
Up for sale somebody else can give them a go.

same problem. my AIO worked great for months on the cheap typical 70PG juice. purchased SB mothers milk and cuttwood melon (both 70 VG) all my remaining three 0.5 coils burned in seconds, regardless of how much i try to prime them.
bought new pack of 0.6ohm, same thing. test it first on run of the mill playboy ejuice, works good. put suicide bunny or cuttwood in, after 3-4 puffs completely burned.
arrrg, this "hobby" is to much, loads of equipments, mods, third party parts, ohm, voltage regulators, displays... lots of difference in oppinions also, i can get everything from "great" to "terrible" when googling e-cigs or juices.
wish it were more simple. not to mention all the controversy with toxic additives and so on...

Somewhere out there
JMO but I think 70 VG is too high to wick right, maybe try adding a few drops of distilled water to your juice or add more PG. I have a T18 for grab and go and love it but higher VG does not wick well and I have best luck with 60/70 Pg and 30/40 VG. I looked at the AIO too but just happened to get the T18 instead.
