So I noticed that a lot more people seem to prefer the 1.8 bvc's over the 1.6. Is there a reason for this? In my 20ish or so bvc's I did notice that the 1.8's seem slightly more accurate to the 1.8 while the 1.6's seem to vary more (tested with ohm meters, not the istick). I have looked at the chart for the ohm/volts/wattage range, and I still dont get it. I mean they both have the same range of aprox 12-13 watts (albeit different number range). So why prefer the 1.8? I always assumed the 1.6 would be more popular since it gives a higher wattage on mechs with a 4.2v batt (which is the main reason why I went with the 1.6 instead of the 1.8). could someone explain it to me?

Mech users usually favor rebuildables. If the 1.8s are more consistent and offer more surface area, roll with 'em. You have a vv wattage device so just dial it in to your liking with the 1.8 and enjoy with no problems.
I do mostly rebuildables with my kfl's and drippers, but I wanted to know why others in general prefer the 1.8's
Well, the jury is still out on the iStick but I believe the output modulation on the thing just vapes much hotter than other mainstream devices. (i.e., the voltage settings on the iStick don't match those equivalents on other devices). I (and others) are low wattage vapors and need to increase our resistance to cool this thing down a bit. Right now I have a 2.7ohm kayfun build and it works at 3.0 volts. (That would be roughly 4.0 volts on any other devices I own).
If you normally vape at say... 8+ watts then this shouldn't be an issue. Just back it off a tad.
I also use the 1.8ohm coils in my nautilus mini and find them "tolerable".
