And most new vapors don't even know what a short is
Thats where i draw my sympathy line, if one don't know what a short is by 18 years of age then he is well on his way of getting a darwin award anyway.
And most new vapors don't even know what a short is
My info supposedly comes from Andy Wan Himself. here is some more info on the other batteries.
IMR18490 Specifications :
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1100mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 3A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 15C
Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius
This comes from another Vapor Forum. Since I didn't hear it from Andy Wan personally we can say this is speculation as well I guess.
Sooner or later someone will have a bad accident with sub ohm vaping, it's only a matter of time. When that happens everyone that vapes will have to pay the price because of the negative press and bans that will follow. So how is it that you think that sub ohm vaping, by anyone, has no effect on you or me?
.... only goes so far, we each also have the right to say someone's actions effect us. So I'll speak out against those actions. This goes hand & hand with the attitude of "I'll vape anywhere I want", and what that has already done to some of us. (you can't vape anywhere you can't smoke in Utah) 2012 UT HB-245
Sub ohm vaping is just plain stupid!

I want to be a smart vaper, since you say sub ohm is stupid. So I should only wrap or buy coils above whatever resistance you say is safe. But wait! Watch what liquid you use! Oops! Don't use silica wick! And so forth.
According to your thought, pretty soon we'll all be shoehorned into something that fills a very small niche spot and isn't satisfying to the majority of people.
You do raise a semi valid point. At some point or another, the potential exists for someone to hurt themselves due to poor safety practices. But those problems exist everywhere. Remember the Smoktech Groove, those bad eGo batteries, that lavatube way back when?
You do, however, go about voicing your opinion in a very unprofessional manner. Why would you call sub-ohm stupid? It's a great way to provide a fantastic vape, when done safely. Why not spend your time trying to influence safe vaping, instead of trying to force someone into things where they might not be happy?
Whoa whoa whoa.... Conservatives? Maybe you mean Republicans... Most of this nanny state BS is being pushed by liberals(read Michael Bloomberg today actually) or "insert party here" who thinks they need another stream of revenue.You live in a state where enough vapers didn't come together to block legislation and a law got passed banning you from vaping in public. Conservatives without E cig education have tried that move unsuccessfully in numerous states because of the uniting of vapers taking defensive action to block such crap laws. It has nothing to do with "sub ohm" vaping or batteries blowing up. Instead of whining about useless issues , why don't you put your energy in to regaining your right to vape? Either that or move! Because , yeah your absolutely right you can say whatever you want with "freedom of speech" , but nobody gives a rats azz about your opinion! Calling people idiots for using sub ohm coils , yeah that should get the world to stop doing that. lol brilliant

Sub-ohm bashing is becoming a sport here with a lot of otherwise knowledgeable people. IMO the real issue is people using unsafe vaping practices.

What is the amp capacity of the 18490 AW IMR? Anyone know? Does anyone even care? Is that size battery safe to use for sub ohm realistically?
I don't know. Someone show me why it is.

Coming back to this thread late, but I did find the information "from the horse's mouth" so to speak. Andrew Wan (AW) states the AW 18490 IMR 1100 mAh battery has a 15 C rating. That works out to 16.5 amps continuous discharge rate.OK, so there seems to be data confirming both numbers. How do we put this to rest?
ETA:
OK, so I did some more digging, trying to find something that was closer to AW himself making the claim and found nothing. I did come across this though: Wonderlight is a accessories supplier that sells through ECF here. Go to the second post titled 'Specs Here' and you will find the following:
'IMR18490 Specifications :
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1100mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 3A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 8C
Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius'
So, another vote for the 8 C limit. I have no dog in this, but would really like to know what the limit is for these batts. If anyone has anything that could be taken as more factual, please post it . Anyone know how to get in touch with AW?

So I remember reading how AW is.. do they make their own cells now, or do you know what the cell the 18490 is?
They (or he) doesn't make the batteries.... he just tests them and only wraps, packages, and sells the cells that test the best and meet his standards.
When it comes to 18500 size batteries, I rock the red Sanyo 20A's. There the bomb, 20amp continuos drain. Will blow away a AW 18500.
