I'm not an eLeaf user, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a stainless steel setting. in which case, using that stainless steel coil could cause a catastrophic battery failure, resulting in you losing teeth, losing a piece of your lip, or getting 3rd degree burns. Please be careful when vaping. Learn your battery safety (search: "battery safety e-cigarette-forum" on google, pick a thread, and READ through it, please!) and make-sure you know how to safely use temperature control before using temperature control. ok? maybe google "e-cigarette-forum temperature control" as-well. Do some reading. NEVER build a coil and use it on a mechanical mod without first checking for a short or too-low a resistance, & learn your ohm's law!!
a man just woke up to his body in flames last week due to a bad battery on the charger next to his bed. the battery MAY have been shorted-out while on his mod, and then over-drained (over-used) before he placed it on the charger, which really heated it up, and wound-up ruining his life. you don't want that. treat your batteries correctly, ESPECIALLY when it's a internal LiMn battery (they can REALLY cause damage when they fail, trust me!) and if you're using 18650s, be SURE you know your batt safety and be sure to NEVER EVER EVER use a temp control coil in a non-temp-control mode, or the WRONG TC-mode. it can and it WILL cause a battery issue... & it's almost NEVER a good day for medically induced comas and skin graphs... almost never!! be SAFE, be CAREFUL, and ENJOY your vape journey!

oh PLEASE read up on battery safety and temperature control safety. PLEASE!? for the benefit of your safety AND the vape community's. OK? promise me you will. & enjoy that new kanthal coil!
If you want to use VW mode, you need KANTHAL coil. If you want to use the temperature control coils, you will have to purchase Nickel, specifically Nickel200 coils. That's what your mod can use. If you fire a Titanium Coil, a Stainless Coil, or any other metal-type in your mod, it could blow up in your hand and/or in your face, causing serious injury, burns, tooth-loss, or death. please read-up on battery AND temperature-control-mode safety prior to using sub-ohm coils and temperature-control coils.
Umm, the mod he is using has a built in battery and it can fire down to .15Ω in wattage mode
If he was trying to use a mech/unregulated mod, yes safety is huge but with a regulated mod??
what exactly can be done to be safer using the mod he is using?
You can use SS coils in any mod you want. Just be aware of the resistance, and the CDR of your batteries.
the short answer is yes, an internal batt mod can and will vent/explode under pressure. & yes, a regulated/protected mod can/will and has, many times, exploded, due to the batt being under pressure. The user's responsibility is to take-note of the mod's capabilities, and adhere to them strictly. The circuit that "protects" an APV user from experiencing a catastrophic battery venting/failure can be "stressed" just as a battery w/out protection can be stressed. when said circuit is sufficiently stressed, it will cease to continue protecting the mod & mod-user. when this happens, the mod's battery will vent/explode. the internal battery inside of these mods is usually NOT a "safer-chemistry" high-drain IMR battery. the batteries inside of internal batt mods is usually a LiMn battery, which can actually explode with more force than a "safer chemistry" IMR battery. they can be more dangerous than IMR.
It is our responsibility as vapers to educate ourseleves on how to use the devices safely and properly. you must adhere to each individual device's specs. you cannot use a 0.5 ohm coil on a device that is incapable of sub-ohm vaping, for example. you cannot draw more amps than what the battery is rated for. this is why every vaper should read-up-on and understand amperage-draw. each vaper should know & understand OHM's-LAW & use/abide-by it. If you have Titanium coils, you CANNOT use them on a mod that either does-not have temperature-control mode, or a mod that does-not have TC-mode for Ti specifically. (I was/am unaware of whether or not you can use SS on a TC mod w/out SS TC-mode, this is because I do not use TC mode for the most-part, and when I do use TC mode, I usually read-up on TC as a refresher course, and it's usually Ni or Ti, never SS) You must NEVER over-drain or over-charge a battery. You must NEVER build a coil and fire it on an unprotected mod without 1st ensuring it is not a short.
theres plenty u can do to ensure your safety. u just need to seek out the knowledge and information.

SS can be used in TC if you have a SS setting. It can also be used in VW. You just don't vape temp control coils, NI and TI in VW because it gets way to hot and gives off gases that are dangerous to ones health. Most TC coils are .15 and are fine in your unit. Your mode has a screen on it to tell you the ohms. You are running a regulated mod. what you need a ohms reader for factory coils when your mod has one I do not understand. Think someone needs some sleep. To many beer watching football perhaps. LOL CHEERS!
I use SS in wattage mode all the time. Crown, TFV4 all sorts of sub ohm tanks come stock with SS coils and are used in wattage mode all the time. If you dont know what your are talking about please refrain from giving false information. In regards to the statement some one made about in wattage mode you can only use KANTHAL, what about Nichrome? ever hear about that? SS is perfectly fine to use in your mod, just be aware of your settings. if you dont have a SS selection in your TC menu, I woud suggest using it in wattage only.
Personally I prefer SS in all my mods. I use 24g or 26g 316l or 304 in all my tanks and RDA's. It has aower resistance than Kanthal, so in an unregulated I have to watch it and ensure I stay in a safe resistance, but it wirks just fine.

I'ts a 40 watt mod with variable wattage that fires down to .2, did you even read the OP's first post ?
