how low on a ego bat

Might not fire that low
Not sure if the battery inside it can even handle the current flow from that low a coil even if it DID fire

Depending on the quality of the ego, it "may" work at 1.2 Ohms. Even if it does, 650 and 450mah's aren't going to survive long.
The mAh has nothing to do with it. The eGo only has a weak 2.5 amp switch regulator which means it can't handle effectively, resistance below about 2.0 ohms. You need a model with at least a 3.5 amp switch, with a 5 amp switch being better. Even with a 5 amp switch, 1.2 ohm is about as low as they will handle.
it does fire on the 650 vaping it now. Are you say it will fry my bat or the use time will go down?
No!!! Not fry your battery
Blow up possibly...they are probably not high drain low ohm batts man!

You are right on the edge of what the 650 can handle. IMO you will fry the battery if you continue to use it. The 450 will not handle it. It should not fire it because the over current protection should kick in. If it does fire it the battery will die and possibly vent before it does. That can get exciting with flame and a loud bang.
The eGo batteries are not good for vaping these low resistance setups. You really should get yourself a better PV

Nothing is wrong with a 2.0 I run 1.8ohm and 1.5ohm heads on my ego 650 and have been for 7 or 8 months now with no issue. Im not sure about 1.2ohm but im using legit Joyetech egos. Knockoffs may not be on the same level of quality and be dangerous at those levels? Either way, no issues here
1.8 ohms on 3 genuine eGo-C Twists for 102 days. I rarely turn them up over 3.6, though. Usually they stay on the lowest 3.2. I have noticed some of my coils get hotter than others.
2.0 ohms is just fine. The OP was asking about 1.2 ohms, which is really pushing the 650 mAh.
Nothing's wrong with 2.0 ohms. The Joye rGo-c Twist has a 3 amp limit and you can go to 1.5 ohms. I've used 1.5 ohm coils on regular Joyetech eGo's for about three years now on one flavor - espresso. Most flavors do well at 1.8 ohms and lighter flavors at 2.2 ohms. Going below 1.5 ohms is asking for trouble on any eGo style batt.
You're right, except like wv2win says, it has nothing to do with mAh's.
Kent, I understand that mAh refers to capacity. I was differentiating between the 650 and the 450 mAh batteries. The C rating on these is the same, so the 450 has a lower amp limit than the 650 mAh.

Just wanted to chime in on this question. Although I haven't used an eGo in some time, I decided to make a 1.0 ohm Micro coil just to see what happened. It killed the battery, made it useless. The light got stuck on and wouldn't shut off. So eGo style batteries don't handle really low ohm. If you ever need to use it again and are curious, stay above 1.2 and try to stay away from Micro coils.
Kanger recommends with a 3.4v-3.7v batt to use 2.1-2.3ohm coils. Im using a 2.2ohm now and liking it alot better then the 1.8ohms that came in the EVOD BCC clearos
