Alright do you know what could happen if but more omh's then .15
Or could I run rda on it
You can use an rda with it. If you go below .15Ω the mod will hopefully not fire. Make sure you are using a good battery rated for running the device at it's higher wattage limit.

Yes, I'd build in a little margin for error if you use an RDA, because ohm's readers aren't always so accurate, maybe shoot for 0.2? And yes, you will need high amp, authentic batteries from a reputable manufacturer if you want to go super low on your builds, but there isn't really a reason not to, if that's the type of vape you like.

The Target VTC MOD can accommodate atomizer coils with resistances ranging from 0.15 ohms to 3.0 ohms. It has both Wattage (power) and TC (temperature control) and can an accommodate Nickel, Titanium, Stainless Steel, and Kanthal Coils in the atomizer you choose.

What batteries do you have?

Your choice of 18650 batteries will depend upon what wattage setting that you will vape at. Just because your device can do 75 watts does not necessarily mean you will vape at that setting. For instance, you won't need a 25 - 30 amp battery if you only vape at 30 watts. You will need a 25 amp battery only if you plan to vape near the 75 watt limit. If you vape at 30 watts, you could choose a battery with 3000mah for longer use between charges. However, using a 30 amp 1500mah battery, you get only half the vape time (mah capacity) than you'd get with a 15 amp 3000 mah battery. Do you smell what I'm cooking?

On a regulated mod the coil resistance is essentially irrelevant. What dictates the amp draw on the battery is the wattage you set with the processor chip. Calculating battery current draw for a regulated mod If using a high wattage regulated mod, use a 20 - 30 amp CDR IMR battery, which ever your mod's manufacturer recommends. The processor's amp limit will determine the amp requirement in this application, not the atomizer resistance.

Regulated mods separate the input and output voltage, in other words they separate the battery from the atomizer. The only relevant value is the wattage, and the remaining voltage in the battery. The wattage is generated by the mod by multiplying the volts by the amps. As the voltage falls, the mod will increase the amp draw to maintain the selected wattage from the remaining voltage level. You don't need to remember or understand that, really. Just follow the below advice:

Are you using a single, dual, or triple battery mod? In the interests of keeping things simple:

If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.

If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, your good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.

If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.

If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts assuming the mod cuts off when the batteries reach 3.4 volts.
