Well I was so exausted and couldn't do some precise work on rebuilding wick & coil just before. I usually don't check the ohms but I just put kayfun on eVic and it says 0.6 ohms. I get less flavor sometimes but mostly good vapor and vape. Is it ok to keep it like as is or should I re-make it? What is the cons and pros using sub-ohm like 0.6?

If you get it to hot you can melt those plastic insulators. Do you have a vape safe or fuze in your mechanical? If not and you melt the insulators you now in a dead short situation. I run mine about 1.4 to 1.6 but that's just me. Im assuming the insulators are made from Teflon and have some heat resistances and Ive never herd of any one melting them but they sell replacements so Im guessing this is a anticipated issue.
A good rule of thumb is dont put a rebuild on a mech unless you've checked the resistance.

the best thing about the kayfun is the flavor imho. 1.2-1.5ohms is my sweet spot. if your chasing clouds build an rda with huge holes and super low ohm coils.
Pretty sure more coils = more resistance. Thicker wire and smaller coil diameter should result in less resistance. I'm no expert, though.
Sent from my phone, please excuse typos.
The concern is that as ohms go down for a given voltage, you draw more amps (pull/allow more watts). Thus...the electronics in your eVic have to handle more power going through them. If you up the voltage, you up the power even more (particularly since voltage is squared in the watts = V2/ohms calc. Thus, the eVic will either A) object and not fire or B) fry it's circuits if the power gets too high.
Also, it stresses the battery cell.
IDK eVic specs. I'm surprised it fired at all.

Now he tells me 
So what's your question? Is it "what's a sub-ohm coil? (P.S. I dislike that term, but...)"

Like was said, I like 1.2- 1.5 ohms on the kayfun. I've melted an insulator, not bad enough to short, but it wasn't far off. I did it dry burning, not during normal use.

i was wondering if I can get little higher ohms like 1.2 or so if I wrap around more to the wick.

Yes more coils ohm's will go up.
It would also be helpful to tell him the gauge kanthol your using.
Enjoy...
Yes, the resistance is directly related to the length of the wire that you use. Using a longer wire will let you wrap it more times and will result in higher resistance. Unless the coils are touching each other, which creates a shorter path for the electricity to follow and lowers the resistance. Some coils are done like this on purpose - look for the thread on micro coils if you're interested.
Yeah, all been said I guess.
So things that change resistance:
A) Type of metal. Like kanthal-A1 vs nichrome have different resistance per inch for the same gauge. Not really relevant here so moving on to:
B) More length = more resistance. That's why extension cords are shorter for higher ratings. More to push through = more resistance. Or they are:
C) Thicker = less resistance (more metal in the cross-section for current to flow through).
So wrapping more loops = making the length of wire between the poles longer = upping resistance. Also, larger loop would do the same....need more wire.

oh... so it really doesnt matter how big or how many the wraps around the wick, its just the length of the coil that you use to determine the ohms?

Its the overall length of the wire used to form the coils that determine the resistance
Now that scares me if you are wrapping your own coils already!
Please read up on RBA's/RDA's before using them.
yeah... i did dual coils on my ithaka on Saturday and was successful lol
boy... forget about all the cartos, clearomizers, protabk and vivi nova.
i am not going back to them anymore lol
surprised that same juice gave me totally different taste
