How many ohms should i buy?

It is kind of a personal choice. I like lower ohms but some like higher ohms. Maybe try some different levels to see which you like.
I know,,, not the best answer but, if you do not try, you will never know.

What's perfect for one is awful for another. I'm afraid no one can answer your question but you. Not knowing where you are right now in your vape journey and what type of equipment you are intending to fire those coils with, I'm afraid we're all at a loss to help. Post more info and maybe some can post some opinions.
Welcome to ECF, swinny...
Aside from the preferential perspective, a more safety oriented view requires a bit of electrical knowledge.
The lowest resistance you can use is based on the capabilities of your regulated APV, or with an unregulated mech mod, the continuous current capabilities of your battery.
For example, with a 0.5Ω net resistance build, Ohm's law requires a mechanical mod battery, at 4.2v, to have at least 8.4 amps for resistance parity. To match the Ohm's law parity with a regulated device, you'd need 35 watts.
Once you've got a better handle on that knowledge, then like previous posters advice... it really is personal preference. ;-)
Theres so many variables it's hard to say. If say what equipment you are using then we can suggest some options.
Bear in mind that clouds are the result of vaporizing e-liquid. The bigger they are the more juice is required to create them.

yeah you need to specify: vaporizer hardware, pg/vg ratio of your ejuice or what you plan on using, how much vapor do you want or if vapor or flavor is more important
Hi swinnyand welcome to ECF!
The above are good observations. Also, if you use the same power setting juice and vaping technique, lower ohm coils (besides providing a different vape) will go through juice faster than a higher ohm coil will. If the coils are vastly different, you'll likely be using different power settings, though.
Hope it helps and Happy Vaping!
I haven't got the mod in my hand yet but i purchased an ipv4 and as of right now i have 50/50 juice
I wrote what i was using a the same second you wrote your message my mod is not in my hand yet but it will be an ipv4
Net resistance doesnt matter much with a VW device, unless you are planning to go very low in wattage. Since you jumped off with a 100w device, I'll go on a limb and guess you're not planning on vaping at 5 watts. So in the end, any resistance coil will do just fine as long as it's within the specs of the mod. Somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0 ohms is fine.
For what device?
Me too, but I try to mostly get my ohms from Australia, since they make the voltage go the other direction.
I dont know if the ipv4's battery compartment has enough room to hold 0.6 ohms.
I buy my ohms in 5kg bundles. They should be kept refrigerated for maximum freshness.

Nope, not a bad idea. As stated above with the mod you are getting it won't matter too much. You will have enough variability with the mod to get a good vape. What are the coils going to be used on?
An IPV4 is considered a "high-wattage regulated box mod". That doesn't mean you have to use all that extra wattage, but its there is you need it. I'm glad you chose a regulated mod over a mechanical mod as your first device; it will have protection circuitry to help keep you out of trouble as a beginner. Your mod will refuse to fire your coil if what you request is against Ohm's Law and provide an error message to alert you why your request was refused. A mechanical mod would not do that.
You could put nearly any juice delivery device on your IPV4: clearomizer, cartotank, or rebuildable.
Proper Terminology: Juice Delivery Devices
You don't actually buy "ohms". Ohm is the specification of resistance of the wire coil that your juice delivery devices uses. What ohm coil you choose to use on your IPV4 will depend upon the type of juice delivery device you are using. For example, you buy lightbulbs with a specification of "watts".
Clearomizers and cartotanks typically use "normal resistance" coils in the range of 1.5 - 3.0 ohms.
With "rebuildables" (you make your own coils and wicks), it can be anywhere between 3.0 ohms all the way down to 0.3 ohms. It just depends upon what you will eventually decide what YOU like after experiencing it. Some people like a very warm vape (lower resistance) and others like a more cool vape (standard or higher resistance).
Should you go the rebuildable route, I always suggest starting out making an overall resistance of 1.0 ohms until you get some experience under your belt. Then, should you decide to experience "sub-ohm", work your way down.
Information Resources for Your First RBA
What batteries did you choose to use in your IPV4? They should be IMR or high drain batteries with at least 20 amps continuous discharge rate.
