Best 18650 battery for .1 ohm builds? 25R Sufficient?

[John C]

Ive been running a dual coil setup coming out to about .12 ohm -- using 25Rs and the LG HE4 batteries.

Are these safe for this low ohm build? I havent had any issues but I don't know if I'm skating on thin ice with these or not.

Would love responses and recommendations. If the HE4 is better for this , ill use those exclusively. If another, would love to know what you recommend and where is a good place to get it.

Thanks as always.

On what? Depends on what you're running them on. On a mech mod, no, neither battery is suitable in a single battery mod - with a dual battery parallel setup they would be OK . On a regulated mod it depends entirely on the wattage the mod is set for and the voltage available from the battery, not the resistance of your coil.

running on regulated mods..one is sig 150, other is an ipv3 s ...or ipv3, forgot which

In my opinion you can use HE4's or 25R's with those mods if you're under 130W or so. Above that the VTC4's or HB6's would be better. The HB6's are lower capacity but run a lot cooler.

thanks guys. yeah i havent had any issues but i saw on a retailer's site that 25rs are not recommended to be used below .3 so I got a little concerned.

Ive noticed that my sig 150 starts complaining earlier and earlier in the charge cycle to check my battery. Used to be, I could go down to 30% or so before it did that. Now, I hot 50% or even 60% and it starts complaining. Again im vaping at 100 watts. So maybe that is normal wear and tear.

could be a shit cell.
Time to get a couple new pairs.
The chip in the sig is the buffer from the atty and enjoyment instead of atty and a face full of fuckery.

Atty resistance doesn't matter on a regulated device. It's wattage that counts. On a regulated device the board is the load. Atty is connected to the board and doesn't touch the cells directly.

Like Mooch says, 128W max for a 20A battery on a dual cell series mod. 128÷6.4=20, 6.4V being the cut off voltage that the mod stops firing at.

If you can get them, LG HD2 are good for 160W, and should last a fair bit longer than HB6, but a little less than VTC4.

Yea, you'll find a wide range of recommended limits for any battery. It all depends on how conservative, or the opoosite, you are regarding safety. And different people have vastly different opinions on what's safe!

Try IMR Batteries. I just ordered 4 18490's for them for less than 20 bucks, shipping included. And they are "authentic".
