Could just be the amount of metal in each coil....
I have 3 atties running they all are using the same wattage and TC setting. Wattage is set at 16watts.... all are stainless wire all are about same MASS and surface area..... one is .4ohm one .8ohm the third is 1.1ohm.... the 1.1ohm coil gives hottest vape the .8ohm the coolest.
Ohm does very little by itself in determining vape results.. Fact Is I can make both a .1ohm coil using 32awg and a 3ohm coil. Not that either would be a prefered vape.

At the same wattage different resistance coils vary quite a bit in harshness and flavor in my tanks. Changing both your tank and coil resistance brings a number of differences into play including wire diameter and airflow. The new tank may be better at a lower wattage. Good luck!
Different volts, different amps.
Watts is not an accurate measure unless both resistances are the SAME.

ETA: bump the 1.2Ω up to 10-12 watts and see how it performs.

The above is correct ^^^^^, I would guess that the higher resistance coil may feel "smoother" because it's designed to be run fairly low wattage, have you tried pushing your 1.2 resistance coil higher and compared the vape?
Although, with the amount of differences involved, what you are experiencing could be due to a really really wide variety of things-- airflow, design of the tank (I find the N2 a great vape for smoothness, but the same coils in a Kabuki REALLY shine for smoothness AND flavor, not to mention the fact that different mods will output power differently as well, and some juices shine at higher or lower resistance and/or higher or lower watts. I love my Kabuki for N2 coils, but I do continue to enjoy my N2s and I do find them smooth. The N2 coil is one that I really enjoy the 1.8 coil, in the Kabuki my preference is for the 1.6 coil, so sometimes even small differences can play a large role. I can get the 0.7 coil to vape nicely with the right wattage and airflow, it's more cloudy but still a MTL vape. I think the more you experiment, the more you will find your preferences but it's not as simple as only resistance, only wattage, etc.
Then, you could try RTAs and enjoy an even DIFFERENT vaping experience with coils you build yourself, but it's not unusual to notice preferences, and I think it's just too many and too varied things to point to one factor and say, "That's it," etc.
Just my 02 though....

Agree with other post about amps and different tanks.it could also be some mods don't step down very well and your really at the same volts to both tanks.
Ok, dropped one watt on Exceed full subohm af open - better! Ty. Nautilus still smoother with increased watts. Hm
Are you using the same juice? I find the N2 quite smooth and I think it's due to the tank design, somehow, for whatever reason. IDK though, but the N2 is very smooth, and sometimes so smooth I can "miss" the flavor some, well, that's my theory, anyway. How high did you turn the wattages? Some tanks are just like that. I bought a wismec tank to take the C-cells, and I ADORE that tank, at 1.0 resistance and 12.5 watts, it's a fantastic vape. LIKE the N2, it's a fairly small quantity of eliquid tank, kinda hard to refill even, but like the N2 I am guessing it's a less than 2 ml tank, given that with the N2 there is a fill line.... That may be one possibility, as I tend to find tanks 3 ml or less easier to deal with in a lot ways, even with an easy refill. When I switched my Berserker from 2 ml to 4 ml it really changed the vape, to the point that I am going to have to re-coil it and re-wick it. (Though, things happen when you disassemble a tank, and much did, LOL).
But, size of tank makes a big difference to me somehow, I bought an original Nautilus early on and hated it. Most of the tanks I enjoy aren't huge, and I do wonder if that makes a difference, actually. . Interesting though, and I'm glad you are enjoying testing out your equipment and etc....

Sometimes trying a new setup is a reminder of how happy you are with your current setup. It's happened to me a number of times. I also think that one person's or manufacturer's idea of MTL can be very different than the next when it comes to heat and airflow.
Thanks for all the responses folks. This is only my second tank aside from years of cartos. The Nautilus was an easy move away from cartos. thought this would be similar.
Gonna have to give it some time now. I can psych myself at this point into thinking wrongly, so I'll make just a few changes during the coming week.
It does look like moving the lower ohm exceed tank over to my Istick 30 is giving better results. Shame, I sooo like my newer Zelos mod. Didn't notice Any change swapping the Naughty over tho.
Lol, what, now I need a DNA mod too??

OK, question same as OP but assume both coils have the same Surface Area. The 1.8ohm would have a higher voltage applied to it, for same watts. What would the difference be in the vape?
I can't see that, assuming they are all round wire.
Mass is proportional to volume.
SA/volume = 4/diameter of wire
So for same Mass and SA, all use same diameter wire.
