is .8 ohms too much for Tugboat RDA?

Tugboats can handle wayyy lower than .8 man! I'd implore you to chuck those included coils/wicks out and make your own out of 26-28 gauge kanthal. I'd suggest a build, but it's highly dependent on your setup, including wicking materials, and juices. Assuming the included coils could be omitted out of the problem, your issue is more than likely your wicking material/technique.
So, what do you have running under the tuggy? We'd be more than happy to help you out with a little more info, perhaps a photo of your deck!

I have a hades battery mod with a 3.7V rechargeable battery. and I was using cotton as the wick. tbh this is my first rda and I had no clue what I was doing hah
What type of battery (brand, mah, amp rate)? Are you new to mech mods as well? Do you have an ohm reader?
Well... First off.... If you stuck two .8 ohm coils in it, your total resistance came out to .4 ohms.
Before you go any further start researching ohms law and how it relates to vaping. Learn battery safety. Watch plenty of YouTube videos about proper coiling and wicking AND get yourself a digital multimeter or ohm meter so you can test the resistance and for shorts.
IMO... If you have to ask a question like this - you aren't ready for a mechanical with a rebuildable RDA.

Well that's definitely a great choice, going 26650 off the bat is pretty ambitious!
I'd advise you take an hour or two looking up everything you can about safe vaping @ sub-ohms, or anything in general about getting into mech mods. You will absolutely need an ohm reader if you don't already have one in order to know where you're shooting at. Cotton is fine, though there are better options. The consensus is going organic to prevent possible chemicals such as bleach into your lungs. I personally use Cotton Bacon which is cleaned, stripped, and ready to wick! Its about 5-6 bucks a pack and through heavy vaping it'd last anyone MONTHS.
Once you're acquainted with Ohm's law and as many safe vaping techniques you can absorb, check out wicking techniques dependent on what coils you're looking at.
Once you've got a few videos under your belt, you should be putting your tugboat to good use in no time!
no argument there hah I just got this today and am trying to learn how to use it. ill read up on all that.
Here's a great list of links on a lot of stuff that is good to know for what you're doing: One Stop Reference Shop For New and Experienced Vapers. I would read the battery info pages, anything on Ohm's law, sub-ohm vaping and mechanical mods.
Take your time to make sure you understand what you're doing, specially the safety aspects. Come back and ask more specific questions when you feel the need to. We're here to help

My quess would be a wicking or juice level issue...at .4 ohms the tug will drink e-juice.....
my new tugboat at .32 ohms goes through a lot of juice but gives
big clouds.
it is wicked with Cotton Bacon and the coils are 22 gauge wire
