my question is what makes the ohms the head or the coil because i have an ego t can i take the wick and coil out of the 2.4 replace it in the 1.8 head or does how many wraps in coil

From what I have researched on it it has to do with the wick, 2.8 has 1 big thread 1.8 has 3 smaller thread,s and then how tightly and how many times coiled around. If you have a multimeter you can turn any head into any Ohm that you want. Again just going by what I have read. 2.8 can be recoiled to 1.8 and vice versa.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm, confusing question. You can unscrew the head from one mini vivi-nova and put in another one if you want.
it's not so much how many wraps on the coil, as it is the diameter of the wire. the resistance or non-resistance of the wire. and the length of the wire. the amount of wraps is to condense the area the wire takes up.
think of it like this.
if you stretched a 14 guage wire across a car battery, it would heat and glow, and burn in half pretty quick.
if you put a 1/4 inch rod across there it would got hot and turn red, but would take longer to burn in half.
the 14 ga wire has less resistance, so it takes less energy to heat it.
the 1/4" rod has high resistance, so it takes more energy to heat it.

Yes you can, when you switch it the Ohm changes to whatever the head that you put in is. You can even just buy replacement heads forever as long as the tank is good, it's the 2nd most affordable way to use the vivi and one of it's selling points. (Most affordable is to learn to re wick it.)
Are you running a battery with short protection? Evic or similar? I wouldn't want to just coil a head and throw it on any battery without testing it.
