Lower ohm the coils rams up heat faster.. Faster heating gets you more vapor, provided the wicking can keep up. Else you might get a dry hit. But too low ohms like below 0.5 also means heavy load on the battery, the whole mod may get warm.. Better keep to 0.5 - 1 ohm.
That's for kanthal. Temp control is different.

to compliment, using steam engine find the results on the right side particularly heat flux and heat capacity.
Heat flux dictates the heat level whereas heat capacity is roughly the time to heat up and cool down.

Lower ohms don't necessary mean ram up faster likewise the opposite isn't true. It's more of a combination of thickness of wire and wraps.

My personal favourite builds are around 150mw/mm2(slightly cooler vape, you'd have to find your personal preference on this) and below 50mj/k(lower the faster, who wants to wait around to vape?)

as to battery life, temp control will definitely be slightly better due to its self limiting factor. Also I vape 0.35ohm dual coil on 23.7W only so its actually a complex mathematical thing that if you like you can research more on.

Edit: just to add on, vapor and flavor is usually a inverse relationship ideally you'd want 50/50. But for that you'll have to play around with heat flux, surface area and air flow. Pretty much all stars need to align for your "ideal" set up which would take some time to find out and by then a new tank will come out and juice will probably run out as well.
