Hello fellow vapers! So, I ordered myself one of those king e-pipes, apparently it's a fully mechanical mod that takes the 18350, and I had a few questions. I have a little experience with genesis RBAs and some variable voltage stuff, but this will officially be my first mechanical mod. 
I'm curious to hear what people have to say about them. I know that generally for the mechanical mods if you want to go super low resistance that people generally use the larger batteries, but since this is an e-pipe size is definitely limited! But I wanted to know what the good people here thought as far as which batteries are most recommended, protected vs non protected, etc. I'm hoping to use the pipe with either the AGA-S or the AGA-T with SS mesh wicks, and I know right here is where safety can be a big concern. I really don't wanna blow my hand up, and while I know generally batteries are pretty safe if handled properly, going super low resistance on a mechanical mod, if not set up correctly, can cause the battery to short and go into thermal runaway. I do have a multimeter to check for shorts on the coil, and I have generally not had problems with shorts on my gennies before, but I've always had them on mods with protection. I generally like vaping at about 12 to 15 watts, so I was thinking somewhere right around a 1 ohm coil. Now, I've got AW IMR 700 mah, efest 800 mah, and trustfire protected 1200mah. I'm pretty savvy as far as the coils go, but when it comes to batteries themselves frankly it's all just a bit beyond me. It isn't quite greek to me, but not far off. I understand there's a difference between the IMR and ICR in terms of discharge and capacity, and then there's the whole protected/unprotected thing. I'm under the impression that the 700 mah AW IMR has a 6A maximum discharge, and the math says a 1 ohm coil with a fresh battery will only max out at ~4.2ish amps, so that should be ok? The real concern I have is whether or not I'll actually need the high drain, or if the protected ICR will be the better option for me. Will protected batteries even be able to pull that kind of amps? If the IMR is fine, is it really necessary to get one of those insertable fuse things? Vapesafe or 2cents or whatever they are? And if it is in my best interests to get one of those, would it have some kind of current limiter to prevent me from getting to the 12 to 15 watts? Like I said, I'm pretty confident on the RBA side, but on the battery side I'm still a no0b. So, to all of you who managed to read through my meandering nonsensical ramblings, I greatly appreciate it! I'm open to all sorts of comments and suggestions, but my end goal here is to have an 18350 mechanical e-pipe with a very low resistance genny. 
Also, I've been looking into replacing the SS mesh with porous ceramic (no shorts, no oxidizing, no nonsense) so I know that will help prevent any shorts on the coil to the wick, so if SS mesh being out of the picture changes the advice you'd give me, let me know both ways! Thanks again to all you helpful people out there.
