Personally, I wouldn't even vape a .5 ohm build on a 10 amp continuous battery. Not leaving much buffer. For safety I like having as much amp buffer as possible when going straight mechanical. Would use my 16 amp on a .5, but feel better using a 30 amp battery. May not need it, but feel better about it. Sure, assuming everything was perfect and the was no ohm fluctuation, you'd be right at the max amp limitations, pushing it, but just because my engine red line at 6500 rpm, does that mean I should always be driving it at redline? What's that going to do for the engine life expectancy? Then once the engine/battery gets worn down, the useful amp/rev limit will drop. Good batteries for one vaping needs are not that expensive so why push the pedal to the metal all the time? Just my thoughts on the issue.

Find your view that the "accepted" low is being .5 ohms for a 10 amp capable battery, a little troubling to begin with. More of a, "sure, it should handle it but" low kind of acceptance.

know the "accepted" low is .5 but after factoring in voltage drop of the device and battery under load, .4 seems to sound ok....I'm going to give it a shot on my next build.
It's this mentality which challenges Darwin's theory of human evolution.

It's better to say you're thinking about it and be thought a fool, than to actually do it and remove all doubt.

Pics or it didn't happen.

PLEASE don't do this!!! The bottom line is that when people attempt to push the limits the limits will eventually fail in one way or another. Best case scenario you ruin you battery and melt the insulators in your device. Worst case - a very high dental bill and a trip to a hospital. These are just the ramifications YOU face. When people do things that are potentially dangerous with mechanical mods and rebuildable atomizers they run the risk of gaining a bad reputation. Don't do something that will make those of us who do know what we're doing look bad.


All that being said do yourself a favor and buy a Sony VTC4 battery, the 30 amp limit will suit your build just fine and they can be had for about 8$. Best of luck!
