I've been vaping on a iStick 50 with subtank mini ranging between 17-25w for 3 weeks although the first week was really light use but overall I really like it. I started with the .5 coil and a few days ago I got my first burnt hit at 25w. I found I could lower the wattage to around 17w and I no longer get the burnt taste.

Today I decided to put in the 1.2 coil and I think I used too much juice to prime it because I just got a tiny puff of vapor. After taking it apart and wiping the coil I put it back together and it's now putting out good vapor again however I'm getting some juice spitting and that harsh nicotine feeling in my throat like it did when I first started especially in the morning, usually it would go away the more I used it throughout the day. I thought this was odd because I've already vaped a fair amount already today. When I put the old .5 coil back in it was smooth again but when I retuned to the new 1.2 coil it's harsh and the nicotine effect seems to be more pronounced. The only other thing different is that I have a fresh charge, before it was running at around 50%.

Other than topping my tank off it's the same juice and only 3mg.

Welcome :)
I have not tried the 1.2 ohm heads yet in mine so im not much help i am afraid.
I have noticed it can take about 1/2 to 1 tank full to break the coils in, so that could be affecting your new coil.
As for to much priming i found it burns off fairly quickly but to speed it up i will sometimes blow down the tank whilst firing it.

Welcome aboard SnakeEyes!!!

I just discovered sub-ohming myself. I've got an IPV mini II running the Kanger Subtank Mini as well. I've only vaped on the 1.2 ohm coils, between 12-14 watts (the 16 watts seems to start to give me a slight burnt taste). Lots of vapor on the 2 hole setting. I find the 1 hole setting a little too tight a draw and the full open setting way too airy for my tastes. I haven't experienced the spitting that you described at all so I don't know what to say here. All I really know is that I think I'm in love with this!!!! LOL
