So, if I'm reading this right:

It looks like if I'm rebuilding coils on my Protank Mini for my Ego Winder VV battery, that an ohm range of 1.3 + is what I'm looking for? Does that sound right? ie, the LOWEST I want my ohms to come in at on a coil I build for it is 1.3?

I have a Kamry 101 for sub ohm stuff, but hubs is still stuck with his boring battery at the moment, so looking at what's safe for his at the moment.

Hm... That stupid of a question, eh?

Not at all.

Personally I'd stay in the 1.6 to 2.2 ohm range. I see no point in building coils lower than the 1.5-1.4 ohm range even on a Kayfun used on APV or the eGo style batteries.

As you lower the ohms you stress the battery more because it has to output more wattage and amps for a given voltage.

Yes the coil may heat faster and hotter with lower resistances, ohms. But do you really need that for a good vape and to stay off cigarettes?

The main factor is amperage. Your ego has an amperage limit (probably 3 amps) and it won't go higher than that. You control amperage by the resistance of your coil and the voltage of your battery and it doesn't much matter how you do it. If your winder has a max voltage of 4.8, simply do the math. 4.8v / 3a = 1.6ohms. So if you build a coil under 1.6 ohms, you're not getting anywhere because the battery will automatically lower your voltage so that it stays at 3amps. It won't hurt anything, just pointless.
