I just got a clone of the chi-you .I build my rest with a s.s. wick top wrapped with cotton , my coil is 4 strands of32gauge twisted, wrapped around wick 3/2 for a 0.5 ohm coil. Works so good nice warm cape tons of clouds.
Manuel with sub ohm

Not a good idea. .. someone will be along soon with the details, but basically the amp limit is to low on 350's. You want at least the Aw imr 18490 or better yet the Aw imr 18650 (1600 mah) for sub ohm, especially .5. You don't want a battery failier. PLEASE look into the sub ohm sticky in the rba section of the forum for safety tips. Blow clouds but VAPE SAFE!!!
Hi Joe...welcome to ECF and I'm glad you're enjoying vaping. ECF is a wealth of very important information...on all topics. Sub ohm seems to be the thing to do these days...personally, it's not for me. But people are going to do it. The folks here know how to do it SAFELY. There's a lot of factors that go into what your doing. Have you noticed any heat on your mech? I'm guessing yes. Please do a bit of research and ask some questions. These folks will be happy to help! Have fun and be safe.
You're lucky. Congratulations.

I recommend sticking to higher Ohm coils with that little battery.
Often you can achieve similar results by moving to a higher voltage battery and winding coils with a lower current draw (More Ohms).
5 Volt NIMH Batteries (Pair)
Granted with these NIMH batteries you still need to be VERY CAREFUL ... you can get a few more watts out of higher resistance coils without having to stress the battery as much.
Better yet...find or build a really good plug-in pass-through that can handle that much current. Make sure it has a fuse/breaker. This way if you have an 'oops' moment...all you do is reset the breaker or replace a fuse.
Ion Batteries can be little bombs. Don't tinker with them until you KNOW what you are doing, and you have a very high quality hand selected High Drain IMR battery. Even with the high end IMR battery...keep in mind that sustained high current applications will reduce the number of charge cycles. If it's an older battery that has been recharged alot...don't try sub-ohm with it!
Be safe....
Happy Vaping
