Look for the 1600 mah, really not enough headroom on the 2000 Mah aw's to safely go to low
If you're interested in going under .5 you should look into Sony VTC's 4 or 5 if you can find them

Have you educated yourself on battery safety and ohms law? Do you know how to figure out how many amps a fully charged battery will draw using a .48 ohm coil?
I bought the same batteries as igotcha69 on YouTube he runs dual coil sub ohm with same battery, but after doing the math electrically I'm second guessing the battery
This was from a post by Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert). It includes a list of batteries you may be interested in.
Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?

yeah, pass on the AW 2000's for anything, heck want some, send ya a few, just pay shipping, they're AW's but crap for sub ohm or even dna30 vaping. 30 amp continuous will give one a longer sustained vape time. Just more useable power.
Check out the battery stress tests and ratings in this comprehensive battery shootout. Check out the graph labelled "Current". The AW 1600mah batt outruns the pack in that category (as K702 pointed out).

The AW 18650 IMR 2000 mah battery has a 10 amp continuous discharge rated limit. Theoretically, you could power a 0.5 ohm coil at its upper limit. I build my coils to 0.6 ohms, predominantly using Sony VTC 30 amp continuous discharge rated batteries, but if no VTC batteries are charged, I can temporarily use my AW's until my Sony's are charged and ready.
1.0 ohm = 4.2 amp draw
0.9 ohm = 4.6 amp draw
0.8 ohm = 5.2 amp draw
0.7 ohms = 6 amp draw
0.6 ohms = 7 amp draw
0.5 ohms = 8.4 amp draw
0.4 ohms = 10.5 amp draw
0.3 ohms = 14.0 amp draw
0.2 ohms = 21.0 amp draw
0.1 ohms = 42.0 amp draw
The AW 18650 IMR 1600 mah battery has a 24 amp continuous discharge limit. Theoretically, you could power a 0.2 ohm coil at its upper limit.

I've been vaping on them for a year now with a genny coiled at .7 ohm, and they have done all I've asked of them. I have 10 of them I rotate through my mech.
Your noted battery has a max continuous discharge rate of 10 amps. That's pushing it too close for my comfort.
I suggest brushing up on battery performance specs and having a good understanding of Ohm's Law before you go any further.
Then I would think you would Want/Understand that you should have a Little Safety Buffer between what your Coils is going to Ask a Battery to do and what a Specs says a Battery Should Do.
Things start to happen Fast when you get Below .5 Ohms.
I would want at Least a 15A Continuous Battery if I was going to pull 10A.
I read your blog in you previous post. Good stuff!
I agree on the cheap voltmeter resistance reading comment. With so many people subohming these days, they need to understand the difference between auto-ranging VOM's and those that aren't. I have several Harbor Freight $5 VOM's and one nicer one from Northern Tools around the house because I don't want to walk stairs to get to one when I need it. I have them in the truck, upstairs, in the basement, and on the first floor. They are all non-auto ranging or non-auto zeroing on ohms.
I see about .4 ohms lead resistance on all my non auto meters. For a sub ohmer, .4 extra ohms on the reading could make a critical difference. If you don't subtract lead resistance you could make a coil that read .5 ohms but was really a .1 ohm coil.
Thanks for pointing that out in your blog.
