From what I can tell, just looking it up on Google as I don't have that tank, it doesn't look like it's the coil that's limiting you to 80 watts, it's the tank itself. It doesn't look like it would have enough airflow through it to go higher than that. When you try to crank it up does your juice taste nasty and burnt? Does the wick material get gunked up quickly? That's lack of airflow.
I'd suggest if you really need to go higher, you look for a different attomizer that has more airflow, more than likely go to a dripper, RDA, rather than a tank style atty.

Even in 2016, there aren't many tanks that use premade heads that can go that high. For a true 150-200W in a tank with little fuss you're really looking at an RTA, not that it's what I'm necessarily recommending. +2 or 3 or whatever for the SMOK, but it's unlikely to be able to go up and down your whole range.

Also, let's just be clear: 80W is already pretty high. Yes, people vape higher. Yes, you can vape higher. Should you? Arguable. It really wasn't that long ago that 80W was about as high as you could find (for tons of money). Hell, it wasn't even that long ago that 20W was a lot. I just think it's worth keeping things a bit in perspective.

With a regulated mod, there is less (not zero, but less) reason to need to push for such low builds and high wattages. I PROMISE you that I can get way more vapor and flavor from the right 1ohm build at the right wattage/voltage than most stock-coil tanks will give you at .5ohm, and it doesn't take 150W either.

End rant. But it's really worth keeping in mind.

You are 100% correct. I have a 200w mod and don't do over 45w even though my tank can handle much higher wattages. It all depends on the user. I personally don't see the need to build low on a regulated mod as it makes no sense. I think OP should also take this into consideration. At high wattages, even if the coil can handle it, the vapor is really hot.

Exactly, that's pretty much where I am, too. I have a 150W and a 200W mod, a couple actually, and rarely go past 50-60 or so. Sure, sometimes it's fun to push it even higher but for me, it's not necessary to do all the time.

I realize others have different preferences, but the one thing that is objectively true here is that it is not "necessary" to push the resistance low and wattage high on regulated mods the same way one might find it "necessary" to build low on a mech to get the most out of that 4.2 volts (minus load, ofc).

As for the OP, I also think it's worth considering that if you are already vaping a subohm tank at 80W and not finding it that satisfying, maybe subohm tanks aren't for you? Certainly there are ones that might be closer to what you're looking for than the Triton, but more power and less resistance doesn't automatically make a better vape. Maybe you should think about making a list of what you're really looking for out of your vaping experience and letting the knowledgeable folks here help you zero in on something that has a better chance of working at a less rowdy power setting. Maybe it's a tank, maybe it's not.

I'm not trying to scare anyone off of vaping at high power if that's what they want. I am, however, trying to point out that, with a regulated mod, it is way less necessary than some people seem to think it is.

Smok tfv4 do u make coils for that tank or make your own and im wondering how do i get to 1 ohm my ohm right now is 0.35 im so new to this i want to get it 1 ohm and see how it is and work my way up if i need to

They have premade coils, I believe all of them are sub ohm (less than 1). There is also a separate RBA section that you can buy. This RBA section is for single coil and you can build sub ohm to more than 1 ohm.
