Trying parallel mechanical mod

[Aceofspades2000]

Hello everyone,
I recently got a new mod, it uses parallel 18650 batteries and I was wondering if I can put my royal hunter RDA on it. I used to run the RH at .17 ohms (which I know is dangerous on a single battery) so I upgraded to a parallel setup. Is this safe to vape at? I've been trying to find the c rating for my batteries, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere.
Thanks ahead of time for the help.

What batteries are you using?
Name brand & any markings on the wrap.

Is the mod rated to run those coils?

There are a LOT of safety checkpoints to call a mechanical mod "safe".

I have 2 brand new yellow batteries, I don't know the brand, but I'm pretty sure they're low quality. I also have 2 of the dreaded purple efest, one is 2800 mAh and the other is 2500 mAh. Finally I have 2 green batteries, I think they're Samsung's. Both are 2500 mAh. Unfortunately, all my local vape shop sells are the purple efest, and the battery store in town only has 18650s for flashlights.

The green batteries may be 25Rs in which case they have a 20 amp CDR, provide some pictures and we may be able to confirm. 0.17 ohms is 25 amps, your device is in parallel so if the batteries are 20 amp then you double this so you have a pool of 40 amps(ish) to work with so you are good. Ditch the Efests. You need to be using high quality batteries of known CDR especially with a mechanical device.

Take the time to read Mooch's Blog and also Baditudes.

I peeled the label off the yellow batteries and found out they're LG. I also peeled the label off of the green ones and they are 25Rs! Thank for all your help

If you mean you pulled the wrapper off, be sure to have them rewrapped before using them. If you just mean you pulled off a label or sticker, you should be fine.

With multi battery power devices it is best to use matched & married sets of batteries.
Do not mix batteries of different brands, ages, amp ratings, mAh, charge cycles or charge level/voltage.
