Lol, no, not silly. Be at ease, you'll figure it out very quickly, like in the first 10 minutes. Set up your tank, being sure to prime the wick. Put a drop or two of juice in the top middle of the coil, install it, then fill the tank and let it rest upright for 5 or 10 mins. Then take a couple of draws on it without firing the mod. That should do for priming. Set the power in the 1/4 to 1/3 range, hit the button and vape a couple of draws. Run the power up to half way and repeat. Then to 2/3rds or 3/4ths and repeat. That will be enough to tell you where to start. From there, it's just a matter of tweaking it to preference.
I would try both to see which you like better, so it doesn't matter which one you start with. The 1.5 may or may not have more surface area (it doesn't have to, they can use different sizes of wire) but it will be cooler at the same power level. The lower power and higher ohms, the less heat/vapor.
Lol, while I agree in general, the mech modder in me objects to the term "relic." ;-)
That's true, of course, but one doesn't want to go there.a really good dry hit also increases throat hit
Lol, much, thank you. You're perfectly correct, of course. I became a mekkie years ago, when the best regulated mods could only make 15 watts or so. Back in the dark ages, the only route to more power was straight batteries firing low ohm coils; and as Ohms Law is inexorable and battery voltage (semi-) fixed, lower ohms = more power. Nowadays vapers have much better gear-- imagine a n00b like this lady having access to 50 watts with no risk of blowing herself up!-- and it's become time to think of coil ohms as just another tweak to tune for flavor. I just got a Snow Wolf 200W TC mod, and the silly thing is right next door to amazing. I hung a Lemo2 with a mere .5 ohm coil on it and was scared to turn it up past 100w. That thing'll blow you up like a balloon. I have just started playing with temp control, the Ni200 wire having arrived, and that's pretty amazing too. The technology is in its infancy, and will doubtless benefit from 2 or 3 more generations of firmware, but already I think TC is The Next Big Thing, no flash in the pan or a fad. Next year we'll see mods as low as 30w bringing it, and coils for legacy tanks with high-delta wire.That was a bit tongue-in-cheek...I was just checking if the mech guys were paying attention!!! lol!
Maybe 'sub-ohm is necessity imposed by using mech mods...'
Better?!?!

Still, though, I don't think mechs will go away, just become a niche market segment. There's something special about it and, having learned how, good results can be produced. I'm vaping one now, with my SW sitting on the desk at home. My car rig is a stainless Nemi with the 18350 tube, topped with a Fogger. Nor am I likely to give them up entirely. I was looking at a MMVapors Nano just last night
