Battery safety for my build

[meloserj]

Hi dudes
Quick question, setup is mech mod with 0.17 ohm atomizer resistance and LG HE4 battery. According to steam-engine for continues drain we will have -24% headroom for 20A amp limit. But puff’s are happening around 3 seconds.
Is this battery still safe to vape on it in mechanical mod with such pulse discharge?
I know I should use something like Sony VTC5 with 30A limit, but as far as I know 30A is continuous so like HE4 20A. But we are using pulse for around 3 sec. That made me wired if still HE4 could be used or not.
Cheers

I wouldn't put it my mouth.

You are drawing beyond the battery's rated capacity of 20 amps. And you want us to second guess whether that's safe or not? As soon as someone comes up with the electrical specifications for "a pulse" I'll get back to you.

You're exceeding the CDR of 20a, you really shouldn't be going below 0.2Ω

Also Sony VTC5's are only 20a, not 30a. If you want to Vape at 0.17Ω get the 30Ω LG's or get a parallel.

Yeah that's why I asked this question. But are you sure VTC5 are 20A? All datasheets and specs are mentioning them as 30A. This is since long time back not new battery to the market.
If there will be some graph to show the pulse duration for batteries test on desired ohms and discharge rates and you know them on web, please kindly share the link bro.
Cheers

All data sheets show them as 30A@80C
They are 20A.

Always go with Mooch's test results, ALWAYS

i already read it bro, just as 0.17 ohm will be near boundary of 25A of VTC5 and HE4 which is 24.71A on 4.2 volts, is that still safe limit for 3-5 sec puffs? Of course voltage drop from 4.2 will happen and the current will reach to 21A on 3.7 v

So you know it's 20a Battery then as per Mooch

What is the method of your madness?....why do you think .17 ohm vape would be better than say .25?

I am not mad or stupid mate. This is pure technical question regarding electronics and how we can be safe on a build. If you can share your knowledge then you most welcomed. If you can't then don't blame people's ideas and questions.
Certainly I am in special situation that I needed help, else I wouldn't write on this forum. Looking to a member's avatar which is written as "Newbee" doesn't mean this person is new to vape community.
Thank you!

Well the question you asked was answered, it's NOT safe, PERIOD.
