Another safety question (Amp draw).

I was on the steam engine calculator, messing around, and noticed a 0.2 ohm coil with a fully charged battery just goes above the safe 20 amps for the 25 R batteries.

If I am right, and understant correctly, the regulated mods do not actually pull this amount from the batteries, and have a kind of 'step up' transformer so they can do this, along with PWM.

I only ask as I am getting the sig 50 as a spare and slight upgrade, and it can take 0.2 (although I will probably never go this low. Am I correct in my thinking/what I have been told that a regulated mod does lots of clever things that stress the battery a lot less?)

It won't really matter as most of my builds only pull about 5 amps max, just would like a definitive answer incase I wanted to try 0.2 for fun. I know it will be a bit aneamic at 50 watts, but I probably will try it as getting a new mod is fun. (Only 11 days till I can order it, I'm actually really excited to get it, the shop did tell me they was getting in the Sig 75's tommorow, but I would rather wait a few months incase there is any issues with launch devices, i will give it a few months before I get it for 2 reasons. I like the sig 30, so the 50 seems like a sensible upgrade, and I want to hear feedback of the device before I get it, as I do like collecting things, and I don't think 3 mods is excessive, and happily my family agrees ).

The specs are differen't from one chip maker to another You'll want to look up the chip that is in question. the samsung 25r have a continous 20 amp rating. If your pulsing it should be able to handle another 10 amps. ,but check the chip makers website and find out the input amp draw and current to be safe.
