18350 and .9ohm's ???

[Peppie]

Is it safe to use a .9ohm coil with an AW IMR 18350 battery?? ( No kick)

You should be fine. I believe 0.7 and up u should be ok. I'm pushing mine at 0.6ohms and no problem so far.

You're only pushing 4.11 amps. The battery is rated at 5 amps, so you're good.

That battery is good for 6A continuous discharge, so your good. I would not go any lower though. I like a bit of wiggle room for dealing with coil shorts. I know the burst ratings are higher, but I don't like to push it that far.

Amps can be calculated here. Enter volts and ohms and hit calculate. You can enter 4 volts for a fully charged battery as it will have a bit of voltage drop in use.

Lots of great info in the rba forum too. Here's one thread from there with a lot of battery and safety info.
