Agree with Jimi, the 30 amp sony's are a bit overkill for the svd and its only a 1600mah batt. There's also a sony 18650 rated at 2150mah @ 10amp's but haven't heard anyone using it. Jimi, at what voltage do you charge your sony's? curious, I charge them once the voltage goes down to 3.8v I do find that it doesn't last that long probably because I'm vaping on it like crazy lol

So I am just now getting into mech and rda with sub ohms. I have some grey pannie cgr cg right now, and am unsure how safe they are with sub ohms. How low can I go with those? Also was looking to get some mnke but saw these sonys at fasttech that do 30 amps, are these just as safe as mnkes? I can get 2 of them vs 1 mnke. Thanks in advance.
So far the 30 amp batts are working good. I made a quad coil yesterday and it held up good. The heat from the atty warmed the battery pretty good, but that was to be expected with that insane setup. I went back to duals after a few hits of hot vapor. Next time I'll use less wraps
I take that as a yes, lol. So as far as my pannies I have now, do I just figure up how many amps my set up will use, and as long as thats under ten amps, and I do short bursts I should be being pretty safe? I mean I know there are no absolutes, but the last thing I need for myself or the community is to be unsafe. I mean trust me I would tell no one lol! But just trying to see where I should keep it til I get these in. I won't want to go too low anyway, maybe. .5 at the absolute lowest with aiming for about.8ohms. Thanks and nice vape!
Cool thanks I didn't even have to figure it out! lol well gotta go finish dinner so I can watch Mod Envy I am due to win a dang vapor wrap or something dangit! Winner winner chicken dinner c'mon! Lol thanks for all your help. Happy saturday day night vaping!

Good luck and you tooCool thanks I didn't even have to figure it out!
So how are these better over the pannys exactly? I use 0.6 ohm coils so according to my calculations, I "only" use 20-25 watts and a little over 6 amps. The main issue for me is that the low ohm coils drain the batteries too fast, even the panny 18650s at 2200mAh. So buying a higher amp battery with lower mAh doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps I'm not fully understanding the benefit, in which case feel free to educate me.
The better question is what is the length of vape time when discharged at 10 amps?

gmo nic base? looks like im off to the DIY subforum...
im glad you guys posted this. for the longest time i couldnt figure out why people didnt care about voltage loss due to a draining battery on mechs. i thought nobody cared that the vape significantly changes. some kinda sub-ohm magic or whatever. but now it makes sense. you DO care that the voltage drops, even though youve got a sub-ohm. thats how i would be. and its why i never saw the need to go sub-ohm with a pure mech, meaning no kick. charging at 3.7-8 sounds tedious. then again, all you need is more batts...and who doesnt need moar batts?
As in longevity, amps?moar batts, moar merrier
It'd be interesting to see how the Samsung INR's compare.
They have a 15A and 22A version, both @ 2000 mAh.
Fasttech has the 15A:
$10.27 Samsung INR18650-20Q 3.6V 2000mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (2-Pack) 2-pack - with carrying case at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
The 22A (-20R) model is only available through ebay.

Li- Ion I wouldn't feel safe, the way I build my coils.

It's an NCA battery.
Having trouble finding safety info on the Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide though.....
Apparently these were designed for power tools.
ok question from someone who is somewhat battery ignorant. Are these batterys safe to use in a K100 for someone that does NOT do the sub ohm stuff, My coils tend to come in at the 1.7-2.7 range.

I too am looking to buy some good batteries and have been toying around with 1.5 ohm coils but my efest 18350 version twos (800mah) and no name 18650, which have IMG 18650 2200MAH 3.7V printed on them), are causing my shortstop to trip any time I go below about 1.9 ohms. Right now I have a 1.5 ohm coil in an Igo L, Pv is sigelei mech 20 version 2 with hot spring and copper connection and fuse is tripping and always trips on coils below 1.9. Would the sony 30 amp batteries be safe coils with this much resistance? What would be the maximum res you would go with these batteries?
