Lowest ohm

[Spoonman17]

What is the lowest most safe ohm can I vape at? I have a build I did and the ohm is at 1.7 is it OK to vape on my mech mod?

Guessing here, maybe and possibly maybe not...

Safety is about the battery (batteries) is capable of but there is no information given about the power source. If it is a single battery mech mod, then the specific battery information is important to determine anything regarding safety. If it is a multiple battery mech mod, then not only is the specific battery information important, but also the configuration of the batteries is important. (Series or parallel.)

Not a great answer, but that is all I have with the information given.

With a fully-charged battery (4.2 volts), and the resistance of 1.7 ohms, you will be drawing 10.38 Amps from your battery. If the battery is new and rated to at least 20 Amps CDR (Continuous Discharge Rate), you should be fine.

Always know (and use) the CDR rating of your batteries.

For info on batteries Baditude has several excellent blog posts on the subject. His blogs on battery safety are a must read before you venture into the world of sub-ohm vaping.
