Smok Alien - battery saving with wrong resistance - Bug or Feature ?

ok, here is the thing:

on the Smok Alien, latest FW 1.2.2 screw on a tank with a higher resistance, e.g. 0.5 Ohm, set your wattage to your preferred value (here 35W) fire it up to log in the resistance, then replace the tank with a lower resistance, like 0.25 Ohm - ignore the "new coil ?" request in the display and go with the old settings.

You now vape a 0.25 Ohm coil with 35 W - the mod reports 0.5 Ohm though - but the vape is much stronger than would be if you log in the correct resistance - I usually vape the 0.25 on >50W which drains (and heats) the batteries considerably more.

Going with the above procedure gives you the same vape experience on 35W as you would normally achieve with 50W or more - the battery lasts much longer - I counted approx 900 puffs vs. 600 puffs.

Now my questions:
Can anyone confirm this behavior ?
Can this procedure damage the mod/batteries and/or the tanks ?

I think this would be similar to manually setting a TCR value.
Speculation on my part is it wouldn't cause damage to the hardware however at the same time it'd depend on the particular resistance, amp limitations, and such.
If you stay within your ohms law guidelines, it "SHOULD" be safe.
Again, speculation on my part.
