The mod isn't the issue it's the battery.
I'm running an IGO W6 with quad vertices coils at .24 ohms
Sony VTC5 high drain imr battery in a brass King knurled clone.
Not a problem.
use ohms law and know your battery specs before building and you'll b fine.

I have the green Sony batteries and what it says on them is:
SE US18650GR
T 8 G123TJ07U
Sony 08
is there any place to find what battery specs are from the numbers on them ?

Googling seems to indicate that they're mainly found by harvesting from a laptop... (Just google the top line). Generally not a good sign, no reliable discharge specs to be found, also not a good sign.
I agree those are salvaged laptop batteries (prolly Sony 8A)
I wouldn't use those.
If you are ever unsure about a battery, don't use it for vaping.
Quality IMRs are cheap. Reconstructive facial surgery is not

no problem, I have not used that build on them,I just built the coils
and put the build on the ohm checker and seen it was that low
so I thought I would do some checking before using it.
here is what batteries I have right now,
I am guessing the gray one is a cheap crappy one ?
it is the best that I could get the printing on the green one to show up

I am not sure about the sony "18650 ocr" if I am reading that right but I use sony vtc3, 4, and 5 without any issues all the way down to .12, I know some people say that is pushing it I am simply stating that I run them that way. That being said you just need to know the amp limits of whatever battery you are using and alot of folks like to stay within the continuous amp rating while I venture into the "pulse" amp ratings but NEVER exceed whatever that pulse limit is stated at and sometimes with folks like efest you cannot take their pulse amp ratings seriously. You can get good batteries for a decent price, I got turned onto LG 18650 HE2's which is what a purple efest is actually lol, love the rewrap efest does constantly and it is like 30 bucks for four of them to get you started. I use to recommend that everyone get sony vtc batteries but they have since moved the production of these batteries into the Philippines and I was told by my battery supplier for the shop that he would not trust the QC out of their new manufacturing facility (also the same one who confirmed what the purple efest actually are under the pretty purple wrapper), I still sell the new green imren 38 amp batteries out of shop but the mah rating is overstated and if that is overstated now it makes me wonder about the amp rating. MXJO is another one but they come out of china and QC is hit or miss, I got a good batch of four but my friend says his do not last or hit hard although they do not get hot or anything and there may or may not be other contributing factors. All that being said in my opinion and the opinion of my battery supplier I suggest the LG HE2 battery until something on the scene changes, LG has good QC and as far as me and my supplier know they are still manufactered in Japan where their name is on the line so QC is very important to them.

Sorry still had vtc on the brain, did not mean to type that lol
I am not sure about these batts but if you dig around these forums a little bit alot of people seem to really like them so with that being said...all you can do is buy and test (safely lol)
Power 27.562 Watts
Voltage 4.2 Volts
Current 6.56 Amps
Resistance .64 Ohms
Most high drain or even mildly high drain batteries will work for your quoted setup....you only need 6.56 amps plus a little overhead
So the batteries old hippie mentioned will be fine because they have a 20 amp discharge rate.

Agreed, I just can not get higher amp limits out of my head sometimes so I digress...and apologize lol
well today I picked up a good 30 amp LG battery and a tugboat dripper
the guy at the vape shop did a .32 ohm build on it and that thing really vapes.
the tank gets hot but the mod an battery does not even get warm.
yes a big difference a better battery makes

Here are 2 calculators that will show you what you need, they are based on Ohm's Law...bookmark them

These are very good 20 amp batteries that will do great down to 0.3 ohms with room to spare.
