Got my first Woodvil, What are its limitations? How low Ohms? Dual coil?

Ok so just for my first Woodvil, Actually my first Reo ever..

I am using a Cyclone rda on my 18490 Woodvil and currently running 1.1 ohms, 28g.

I am wondering how low can i go in Ohms before anything bad happens?

Can the woodvil handle dual coils? say if i had 2, 2.0 ohm coils running in at 1.0hm?

Just curious and figured i would ask before i do anything and start blowing stuff up and or melting anything. I am not looking to do any crazy sub ohm stuff ( which i know cannot be done ) i am just curious whats the lowest i can go safely?

Just seems like this 1.1 ohm micro coil i built isn't doing it for me. Tight micro coil, very little cotton, coil lined up as close to air hole as possible.

Switch is 3 amp, button is 5 amp. If I recall, you can go about .8 if you bypass the switch. Otherwise, I would stay over an ohm. You can for sure go lower at your own risk, there are some reports already of .8 with the switch not bypassed.

Right now my woodie is running 1.25 ohm twisted 32 GA. Hitting like Tyson without biting my ear.

You're going to be gated by amp rating for the switch (5A) more than anything. Assuming you're comfortable with Ohm's Law, you're looking at about .85 Ohms with a fresh battery at 4.2V.

That said, the battery will mostly be operating at ~3.7V and the switch is rated at 5A, but not restricted to that. Factoring in these elements, you could probably go down to .7 Ohms, but you run the risk of a deteriorating switch over time. 3.7V through .7 Ohms would be ~5.25A.

To be safe, though, I wouldn't push it on something so unique as a woody. I'd do .9 (2x1.95 for duals). You'd be surprised at the difference compared to 1.1.

edit: forgot the on/off switch complication - it's rated at 3A. Prolly best to stay at a solid 1.0 Ohm or above for long term maintenance.
