A less resistive coil directly corresponds to a greater current through the coil and, generally, a greater amount of power consumed by the coil (resulting in more heat).
This also means that a more resistive coil corresponds to less current through the coil, resulting in less power consumed by the coil (resulting in less heat). It is always "safe" to increase the resistance of the coil, but may result in a less than optimal vaping experience.

Generally speaking, the lower the ohm of the coil the hotter it gets and faster it heats up. Producing a lot of vapor and a warm vape. It also drains your battery faster. There is not an upper limit for ohms, but at some point you'll find yourself holding the button down for several seconds before the coil heats up enough to produce vapor. You said you use 1.4 in your kayfun if I remember correctly. You can just start with that and you'll probably be happy with it.
Welcome and congrats. Before I got my first Reo I asked a lot of questions and read every thing I could in the stickies. A cornucopia of info and will answer many many questions along with instruction videos etc.

I like to use really thick wire for my coils. The thicker the wire the more power it takes to heat. The thicker wire gives me a fuller, warm, thick, wet vape. I wrap my coils anywhere from 0.55 - 0.6 ohms, but I have also made sure that all of my contacts, and batteries, can handle the high current draw. This set up is not for everyone, and absolutely not necessary to achieve a fantastic vape. Like JC, I also love a .8 - .9ohm coil wrapped with 28gauge. You will find that the upper limit of how high of resistance you can wrap your coils is different depending on what gauge wire you use. For ex. using 28awg you may not want to wrap higher than 1.75ohm (the vape becomes cold and slow to actually hit) by contrast 32awg wire could be wrapped up as high as 3ohms. I was just throwing general numbers out there so please correct me reoville if my resistance values are off by a little bit, but the key point to take away from this is that you will just have to spend a few hours wrapping all sorts of different ohm coils with different gauges of wire and experiment as to what suits your needs the best. (using cotton balls as wicks is pretty helpfull when changing a lot of coils out)
When someone said that the Woodville is not a true mechanical and that you wouldnt be able to run low ohm coils what they meant was that the push button switch is only rated for a limited amount of current and that becomes your bottle neck. An AW IMR 18490 1100mah 15C battery is rated for 16.5A continuous discharge which you will never come close to hitting. In contrast the push button switch may only be rated for 5A. Using V=I*R; 4.2V/5A = 0.84ohm coil as the lowest you can go.
DISCLAIMER! I do not own a woodville and I do not know what the switch is actually rated for, I thought I remembered hearing that 5A limit many many moons ago but I could be wrong.
PS. I also do not agree that the woodville is not a true mechanical. Ask yourself if a wire (insulated copper) is any different than an insulated copper bar (like the firing pin on a Grand, for instance). The woodville has no circuit boards, and is unregulated, which make it a mechanical mod in my mind.

See, this place it just like the NT place, people always willing to help out. Can't believe I missed this earlier but congrats kinggirl!
I gave a quick answer earler, but I forgot to say welcome and congratulations on a fine mod! You should have a ton of good information to get you up and running, and loving every bit of it. 
One more thing, now that you are a proud Reo owner, go to http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/217670-reo-roll-call.html and register your name. Chalk up another one for Texas!
We need kinggirl to go post her name in the "when did you order your very first Reo" thread. I'm getting a complex being so close to the bottom of the list.
I am above PW though!

I actually got my first one exactly 1 month earlier from the classifieds. I didn't count that. Only the new one I bought from reosmods.
It won't take long to move up the list. New people are buying them all the time.
Oh you're right! It's "when did you order your first Reo". Well my date is still ok, my first came from Rob.

I do, thank you!

lol will do. I don't mind being the new kid on the block.
Welcome to the mad house of happy vapers. Jumping right in with a Woody I think you'll fit in fine. We're a good bunch of folks here in Reoville but we're not very trusting so pix or it didn't happen.
lol I will post pics when I get it. In the meantime, this is the listing of the one I bought http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/sale-trade/566143-us-fs-jatoba-18490-woodvil-plus-extras.html
I'm sure she will post a pic, but it did happen. I watched it fly out of the classifieds in seconds!
This will be the longest weekend of my life. At first I was looking forward to my extended weekend now I'm just waiting on the mail to start back up lol. I think he's shipping it today from NY and the mail doesn't run on Monday so not sure when it will actually get to Tx.
