is 0.10 ohms dangerous?

alright. was worried it will blow my face off.

Ah you should be fine mate!

Also, just be carful incase it decides to drop below 0.10 unexpectedly, because I believe the xcube II only fires to 0.10 in Kanthal.... So if your resistance decides to drop lower, it may stop firing when you need it most haha

isit safe?
That depends on the situation. On a single-battery or series (multiple batteries "stacked" on top of each other or wired in series) mech mod, absolutely not. On a triple-parallel mech -- three (or more) batteries wired in parallel -- it should be fine. On a dual-parallel mech, it depends on what batteries you're using but I wouldn't recommend it to an inexperienced user.

On a regulated device like your xcube, amp draw is determined by the wattage setting, and the ohms don't matter one whit, as long as they are within the device's operational parameters. If your regulated device can fire a coil, it will fire it, and if it can't, it won't. Simple as that. Just make sure you don't use a wattage setting (on any coil) higher than your battery can handle.

There is no way of knowing what is safe or not without knowing what batteries you are using or how you are using them.

In a regulated mod, the battery does not directly power the coil. The battery powers the mod, which in turn powers the coil. As such, the coil resistance does not tell you anything about what is safe or not. What matters is your battery's ability to power the mod at your selected output. But! None of this matters if you are using the wrong batteries.

Mooch has a good blog post on amp draw in regulated mods:

The mod will be safe but what batteries are you using? the mod can still draw more current from the batteries than they are rated for and cause serious venting ruining you day and at least your mod.

the mod does not know if you installed proper batteries in it for the wattage you are running.

No, Why - You do not know enough about what you are doing and you are steadily replying - Okay, thanks - to Short answers.

Safety relies on understanding and following proper protocols.
Knowledge of Device
Knowledge of Batteries
Knowledge of Proper Build procedures
Knowledge of maintenance

Not being rude, just giving a wake up call.

What the combined amp limit of your batteries????? If you are still within spec a .1ohms then your OK. Safe or not is something you have to decide. IMO, there is always some risk, personal or to the device of using it at the edges of capacity.
EXACTLY. The build should be dictated by the batteries you use.

I could go much lower than .8-1 but that gives me a nice satisfactory vape.
