I've always used 7 watts with a 2.0 and a 2.4ohm coil head, and I'm wondering if I try vaping at 9 or 10 watts if it'll kill the coil head or something? Can you even "over power" a coil head?
Can you completely kill a coil head if you use too many watts?

Sure. I know you're talking about what are probably low wattage coils/attys here to begin with and a lot of this depends on the design of the coil.
If you run a coil to hot you risk vaping liquid out of the wick faster than more liquid can be taken up. Dry hits are never fun.
Too much wattage/voltage can break the coil wire at a weak point, "popping" it open and rendering it non functional.
That's all very generic - what specific thing are you using?

The higher the resistance the more power is converted to heat. Ultra low ohm vapers need a lot of power because their low resistance builds are inefficient but may be a larger surface area of wire makes bigger cloudsbro. I recall overheating a coil in dry burning to the point where it was red hot and broke. May be I did that a couple of times in the past. May be the wire was titanium. These days I only use stainless. I use very little flavoring and temp control so very little gunk acccumulates and it takes weeks, not days.
Just try the higher power, cautiously.
To answer your specific question, 9-10 watts isn't going to be detrimental to those 2.0 and 2.4 ohm coil heads.
