Hello, new to the forum!

Hi ecig-forum, i am new to the forum, but not that new to vaping. Not sure if i am posting in the right place (if so i don't mind my thread deleted or moved). So to start with i am posting because i can't find the information i want anywhere on the internet, and to have a start in posting to e-cigarette form and become a member. I have had some bad experience with the last batteries i bought (i switched from a standard ego-t to evod usb pasthrough), had problems with it, went twice to the store to have it replaced, then at the 3rd replace i asked for a refund, so i got my money back and now i went to another ecig store and bought evod 1100 mah VV 3.3v to 4.8 v. Don't yell at me saying that i bought a bad battery. even though that in my town there are 4 places where i can buy e-cig, there is not that much variety.
Now that i made the switch from standard 3.3v batteries to a variable voltage battery i can't help but notice that my old ego-t wouldn't accept sub ohms coils but my evod battery does take on atomizers with sub ohm coils. And i know for sure that this is dangerous, and these batteries should have a limit like the ego-t.
So i am asking the e-cigarette forum community : what is the lowest i can go in building coils? and what is the safest for my evod variable voltage battery?
Right now i built a 2.1 ohm coil just because knowing this battery has no protection with low ohm coils, i am scared i could do any harm to the battery. vaping experience is great even at 2.1 ohms. (i make low ohm coils for my home made mechanical mod, and they are great, never thought they would go on evod)

Touchy matter on EVOD batteries. Not recommended to use with RDAs. However I've seen people using the Taifun GS and Kayfun mini on these devices. Would not recommended going under 2.0 ohms but with 32/34 gauge Kanthal. But again I do not believe these batteries can take a high discharge rate and batteries may die after few weeks. Again I would not recommend RDA's on this type of battery.

i prefer claromizers for the looks and the fact that they can store a lot of e juice, and be as thin as the battery itself. i don't really like fat e-cigs, and chose evod for the design and VV. I thought that i can at least go 1.8 ohms. i use 0.18 mm kanthal , i don't understand you when u say "can take a high discharge rate and batteries die after a few weeks" . The clearomizer i use i can rebuild its coil, if i can use clearo with 2.1 ohms why not rda on 2.1 ohms? if the coil is the same why does the type of atomizer make it different?

Hello and welcome to the forum Razvan. Glad to have you here!

Since you can buy 1.8ohm and higher stock replacement coils for your EVOD -- 1.8ohm and higher coils that you rebuild would be acceptable. I use 30 gauge kanthal.

However, you must measure each and every build you make BEFORE you put it on any battery and fire it.

Thank you Susan~S! sometimes i measure them, sometimes when im lazy i just use the micro coil calculator and make sure its above 2 ohms, but i have been rebuilding coils for my atomizers so many times(just for fun) that usually i almost get my 2 ohm coils or 1.8 ohm coils, even after i make the coil and measure it i get exactly 1.8 ohms. but this battery takes 1.2 ohms, and also my rda which had once 0.7 ohms(tested it). So that seemed strange for me to have a battery which looks like ego, works like a mechanical mod. Anyway can i go safe below 1.8 ohms, or stick to 1.8?

Most ego twist batteries have an amp limit of 2.5A. I would not go below 1.8ohms for safety reasons.

thank you all for your answers and warm welcoming, if these evod are such a touchy subject and i suppose there is something wrong with the battery if it takes sub ohm coils i will take care of it and never go under 1.8. But what about raising the voltage, lets say i have 1.8 ohm coil on evod vv, and raise to voltage up to 4.8v doest the coil resistance have to go up , lets say for 3.3v = 1.8 ohm and for 4.8v= 2.4 ohms? is there some sort of rule, or is it safe to vape 1.8 ohms at 4.8 volts?
