So I'm planning on buying a Kanger subtank mini for my Istick 30watt and I'm not sure If I should buy the .5 ohm coils or the 1.2 ohm coils as replacements. I'm looking for decent size clouds with nice flavor and I also want to maximize my Istick and use up to 30watts for when I want a huge cloud but around 20-25w as more of a casual setting and since the 1.2ohm coil is only rated for use between 12w and 25w I'm not sure if I should get those or the .5 ohm coils as replacements.

No question, get the 0.5 ohm coils if you're looking for clouds and flavor. Question is, are you getting the OCC coils or RBA? With the RBA, you can just make your own coils. If you have a multimeter, you can make 0.5 ohms coils for the RBA all day!!! The OCC ones are a bit trickier, but not impossible.

just a heads up - if you order coils, make sure you order the verticals (those are the new, v2 coils) or you might get the old school horizontal coils - they are both "OCC coils" but the configuration is different and the verticals can handle a bit more wattage and definitely wick/ perform better
