Yes.
Generally you would be well served getting the 1.5ohm coils to start with.
That allows you to vape at a range of 6w to around 12w without burning out the coil quickly.
When you get the .5ohm coils you can use much more wattage to generate more heat/more vapour.
I know you've been told to google ohms law, watts, volts and all that.
I'll try to give you the idiots version! I'm assuming here you know nothing at all so I mean no offence in explaining in basic terms.
Ohms.
Ohms are the electrical units of measuring the resistance of a wire.
Resistance is how much effort it takes for electrical current to pass through the wire. Low resistance means the current can run easily, high resistance means the current has to fight its way through.
Volts and Watts.
Volts and Watts are basically the electical units for measuring the force/effort (in Volts) or if you prefer Power (in Watts) required to make the current flow through the wire, the more Volts or Watts you use the more electrical current will flow. The more of this current (measured in Amps) you force through the wire the more heat you will generate. While they are related, Volts and Watts are not the same thing but for the purpose of getting a basic understanding you may think of them as doing the same thing.
Think of it like water running through a pipe, in fact I like this wee page here:

What is very important to remember though in Vaping is batteries and battery safety.
You read about people buying sub ohm coils (i.e. a coil that has less than 1ohm resistance) and then they are pushing big currents though these coils because they are using very high Watts to push this current, to generate more heat, more quickly and get more vapour. Batteries have ratings, current ratings.
Some are rated at 10Amps, some are rated at 25A, 35A and so on.
You do not want to come close to or exceed the ammount of current on these ratings, thats when things get very hot inside a battery and that means a risk of failure, i.e. fire!
Ohms Law is a very simple little equation that will allow you to quickly calculate the Amps you are going to be drawing from a battery.
There are only three parts to it, Volts (or Watts), Amps and Resistance.
Just to confuse you and countless students worldwide, V is for Voltage, I is for current (in Amps), P is for power (in Watts), and R is for resistance (in Ohms).
V=IxR and if you want to use Watts instead of Volts its P=I2xR (that little 2 means squared, as in (something multiplied by itself, 2x2=4 etc, I couldn't figure out how to put the little 2 up higher than shown here sorry, it should be written like the little 2 is sitting up on the shoulder of the other number)
Ohms Law as in the wee equations above are easily rearranged for what you need to find out.
You need to have any two pieces of the puzzle to find the third one.
for example if V=IxR, then R=V/I and I=V/R. (/ means divided by).
Isn't electrickery fun?!!!
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm starting to pick it up a bit more. When I get the new set up il just set it the way it should be and leave it at that

I got juice in my mouth when I tried that. I just put in a new coil incase the other one was faulty so il let it sit now for 15 mins and try again
:D:D:D you must have took long sucks to get juice in ur mouth,3 or 4 short sucks normally works,keep that old coil,it might still be ok later,I just gave 4 nautilus's 3 quick sucks & no juice came out,sharp quick sucks,do it again now,you should see bubbles coming up the side of the glass. 0 -

Lol ya I see the bubbles. It's working fine now BUT I'm struggling to see how it's worth 70euro tbh it tastes the exact same as the last ecig I had
Maybe it's the juice tho all I have is wicked0
