Simple, relatively inexpensive way to take a look:

Trick is to keep as much of the wattage as possible from reaching the wick/liquids by using half a ton worth of liquid/air cooled metal wiring as a heat sink - disguised as a coil.

Good luck. And bear in mind that more wattage doesn't necessarily mean more or better flavor. I have tried sub-ohming and it's not my thing. I'm a committed mouth to lung vaper and I love it. The best flavor I've ever experienced in my vaping career comes from a Kayfun 4, wicked at 1.5Ω, at 9-11 watts.
Katya ...
And your not the only one that has tried sub-ohm vaping, but was not overly impressed.
I am back mouth to lung vaping on a Lemo 2 with the airflow turned way back down.
Using a single Kanthal 27 gauge coil at 1.2 ohms, and feeding it 13 watts .... perfectly happy!

Do you have any interest in building coils? For me, that's how I eventually found more flavor and a vape that I liked.

Sub-ohm, above ohm can be a bit of a mind trick
My Favorite coil builds are 1.2ohm @ 15w, as I am very much a Flavor chaser. Learning how to tune TC has made it even better.
The thing is, If Asked, I Vape .6ohm @ 30w
That is 2 x 1.2ohm Coils Running 15w each(30 watts) in a single tank
Remember, a Tank is simply a Container - like a Jar - to told the E-liquid the Coil(s)/wick(s) will eventually use.
It is not so much what you use, but how you use it. I also, very often, enjoy using 1.8ohm Cartomizers
That chart is outdated, for the current market in atomizers -- it relates more to the old-style "clearomizers" and "cartomizers".
For instance... it says that at 2 ohms, 4.5v is too much -- but that is the setting currently on my iPV Mini (9w -- with a 2 ohm coil -- 4.5v), and it's a very mild vape -- but it's with an RDA, an Achilles -- which doesn't have much airflow at all, but it's a much bigger atomizing chamber than any "clearo".
I'd say that chart is about 2-3 yrs out of date.

Exactly right. An overpowered high resistance coil is just as bad as an underpowered sub-ohm coil. Many new vapers believe that they could use a .5Ω coil at 12 watts to get a more mellow vape--big mistake. An underpowered sub-ohm coil is harsh and nasty...
Having said that, my personal preference is a higher resistance, fast heating coil at lower wattages as opposed to lower resistance big coil with big wick at 20-30 watts or more.
Currently MTL vaping a 27ga, 1.2Ω coil at 32 Watts.
Higher wattage mods negate the necessity of "sub ohm" coils. The phrase "Sub Ohm" has become nothing more then an unfortunate buzzword used to sell gear.
The Uwell Crown and RX200 are made for each other IMO.
I am using the Reuleaux SX200 with the 0.25ohm coil in my Crown at 70w. Amazing combination for under $100 for both. If I use a 0.50ohm build in the Crown, I only vape at 30w.
I also use a Kanger Subox with an Aspire Nautilus Mini with a 1.8ohm coil and I never go over 12w.
More to it than just wattage in any case.....
Keep in mind the x-cube is rather large.Simple, relatively inexpensive way to take a look:

Like an innokin vtr, but with the tank on top.

I can't see how that couldn't be a very hot vape no matter how much airflow you have.
If you put those numbers in the Steam Engine calculator, you come up with a Heat Flux of 334 mW/ mm²
That's HOT
I don't know about heatflux, but for my vaping style, it's pleasantly warm, not hot.
Its heat flux is 221 (whatever.. degrees???) warmer than my own of 113 (for a 29ga 2Ω coil at 9w) -- that's VERY HOT!!!

I suggest you get an istick 50 watt and an Arctic tank with 0.5 ohm coils . This is a great vape . you could visit your local vape store and tell them you are ready to start sub ohming and see what they suggest.
