I think you guys that are getting burnt hits are simply running these coils too hot...the .5 ohm coil has an absolute max rating of 30 watts...try running it at about 22 watts, run the 1.2 at about 18 watts...and things should be much better for you. If you want really high wattage, you're going to have to go the rba route...the glass will come off, but it is hard to get off the very first time...run it under some hot water, then dry off the outside so you can grip it...then twist and pull. I have 4 subtank mini's and a couple of them gave me cramps until the glass came off. Subsequent removals were all much easier...
