Hello all. I have a generic looking telescoping mech mod. It came with a grey 18650 no name, no AMP printed on battery that did its job with my smaller tanks (1.2-1.5ohms). I now have an arctic tank and want to run .5ohm on it. What type of battery am i looking for or staying away from? I am going to get an IPV 4S soon but want to get on the arctic with my Mech! I know i will need at least a 10a constant discharge but is there anything else i should be careful about? I am paranoid about doing something wrong and basically making a pipe bomb. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Running Arctic Tank on Mech mod

I got the purple efest for my mods and I love them they are 30A and I have used them in both regulated mods and mechanical mods. I also have had great luck with the sony vct4. I got 4 of them for pretty cheap when I bought my sigelei box mod
Hi and welcome, @g_freeman7! A couple things:
1. Make sure you don't have a hybrid mech (where there's no pin between your battery and the atomizer) - these aren't recommended for clearomizers.
2. If you decide to cheap out on clone mods and attys, fine - I did the same myself when I was using mechs, as there's not much "designer" about a metal tube with a spring, though I'm a bit more discerning with regulated mods. Don't cheap out on your batteries/charger! Efest batteries labeled 30A are actually only 8A, and the ones labebled 35A are only good for 20...I wouldn't go with them when you can get respected batteries like LG HE2 or HE4 or Samsung 25R with better, believable specs for a lower price. Any of those batteries will run 0.5 ohm safely and reliably.

So I ended up not even risking using my mech since I am inexperienced. I bought an IPV4 S , 4 Samsung 25R batteries and a nitecore i2 charger. That should be able to power me down to .2ohm correct? Can't wait to get some nickle coils and try out the temp control.
