The 15W MOD's will start to fall a little short at 1 Ohm, But not by so much that you will need something new.
I vaped a 0.8 on a VTR and it worked OK.

That first video that decoy posted is what got me sorted with the KF. Have altered diameter of coil to 4mm as occasionally it misbehaved. Since doing that its been working well, and my build hasn't changed for last six months or more.

As mentioned much earlier you can get an air pocket trapped in the channel between the pre-soaked wick and the bottom of channel. This can be shifted by placing a finger over air-hole and giving it a sharp toke and you we see an air bubble rise, indicating that at least some of that air pocket has been replaced with juice. only try this a couple of times, if you do it too much youll end up filling the whole thing to the top of deck and your back to flooding.



 
This, I take, it is due to it burning? and may well indicate that trapped air pocket.



You shouldn't need to change wick after flooding, a saturated wick is what you want.

Flooding isn't caused from juice dripping off the wick into the air-hole. Its from the juice level rising to high inside the chamber, until it flows onto the top deck where the coil sits and into the air-hole.

If its burning right up to the point it starts flooding, then that would indicate to me that my wick was strangled as it went through the coil.

As decoy says at the bottom of that quote above, just use cotton balls from Boots(unscented,unbleached).
People used cotton balls for a long time with no problem, if the setup doesn't work with cotton balls, then changing to cellulose, rayon or other wont fix it. As youll find the amount that use through the coil will change depending on the materials properties, and will just throw you off working out what works.

EDIT: as an after-thought, not all clones are good copies of the original, there are some shockers out there that will leave a bad taste in your mouth. (forgive the double meaning there). Take good look at it and see if you can see anything that may be causing your problems, bearing in mind that it uses a vacuum principle to maintain the juice at a certain level and prevents all the juice you pour in from pouring back out through the airhole. When taking a draw, the pressure drop due to you sucking, causes the juice to rise up the channels to soak the bottom of the wick again. When you stop it pulls the juice back down and a little air that will enter the reservoir each time  to replace the juice, maintaining that equilibrium. Sometimes a badly cut channel or an ill fitting sleeve or even too short a height of channel or from bottom of deck to top can be the reason one of these wont function properly.

When I started mixing, I was still finding flavors, so would make a 30ml bottle and pretty much try it to see if the flavor was yuk or umm.
Now that I'm more settled on a particular blend of flavors. I mix it in 200ml glass bottles (which you accumulate if you get your VG from Boots). I have 2 bottles and when one is empty I mix up 200ml more and start using the other bottle, which by now has been sitting on a shelf in my living room, for the last 8 weeks and has gone a nice dark orange shade.
I don't really touch it after its been made. Only when checking the color and I have given I little shake and put it back on the shelf.
When I make it I'll shake for 5 mins to get it well mixed. And that's about it.

The data sheet describes the protection that is required in the battery pack for safe operation...The single cells are unprotected.

The ones i saw had a red wrapper maybe they do both

Yes i think intl-outdoor have re-wrapped the Sanyo so it has the circuit, as the original are a cell for use in a pack  

I think all ICR that you can get in unprotected form are designed to be use in a pack with with the protection in the pack rather than the individual cells.

Thats why I didnt like the idea of 'pack' ICR's being broken up and used as cheap batteries for vaping, as even the manufacturers tell you they need protection.

These are the type of battery that I would try replace at some point with a safer chemistry battery, but VapingBad is right in saying in can be used in lower power electronic devices as these devices have built in protection, unlike that battery which should really be sold with its own protection circuit.
Just be cautious with it, and if you see any damage to the wrapping, 'bin' it.

LoL you caught me moaning about something I didnt pay for.

I download the Leaked O.E.M. and also daz to load the certificate at pre-start.
