There probably isn't a need to build that low on a regulated mod, the mod can just increase the voltage to get the watts you set.
.7 is too low or .25? What would you say is a good ohm to build at?
What theyre saying is theres not a need to build at super low sub ohms on a regulated APV-you can just build a coil with higher resistance, just crank up.the watts, and have similar performance as a sub ohm coil without as many safety issues.
Edit: imho building a coil round 0.5Ω and run round 40-50 watts gets superb vapor production and still good flavor, although all this is still subjective. Afterall your coil build, rda, etc can still have impacts on your vapor

Sorry, I meant you probably don't need to build as low as 0.25 ohm on a regulated mod. If the mod fires than 0.25 ohm build, depends on its specs, it would work fine though. The mod would just adjust the voltage to produce the wattage you have set.
I'll let someone else with more rebuilding experience answer the rest of your question.

At 0.25 ohms on mech mod almost HALF of generated power is wasted on heating elements other than the coil - here you can see why. Efficiency of setups powered by vv/vw mods is much better, so you will achieve a similar effect using 0.5ohm single-coil with power 25-30W.
From your website, you're getting 3.537V at 1.1 ohms on your mechanical mod with your Sony VTC4. At 0.57 ohms you're getting 3.281V.
At 0.3 ohms on my Nemesis clone I get about 3.8V with an authentic VTC4 battery that is still good but not new. I get about the same voltage with a couple of other mechanical mods I have. I keep my mod contact surfaces clean and I have good batteries that I know are authentic.
My performance numbers are typical compared to others doing this. IMO you either have bad or old batteries or your mods are not clean.
Hope this helps
Same (as you can see in pictures). And I'm a little surprised of your result because at 0.3 ohm we get ~13A current, so it looks like the voltage drop results only from internal resistance of battery and the rest of circuit is ideal (almost).

In my experience the rest of the circuit is equal to or a bit less of a factor than the batteries are. Battery internal resistance can be a big part of this if it is high. How sure are you that your batteries are authentic? How do you arrive at that conclusion?
How good are they? Have you calculated their internal resistance? What's the charge/discharge cycle count, how low were they discharged each cycle, how many amps were they discharged at, are you using a good charger, how fast are you charging, etc, all have an impact on how fast your batts age.
