So, I had a curiosity question. How does the AMP rating of a battery affect mech mods?
That's pretty much the last question I have before ordering my stuff.

Okay, was just curious, thank you. I think my Panny CGRs are going to be fine since I think read those are 18amp but if not I have 2 of the AW IMR 1600mahs... Which I think I read were 30amps?
The CHR's are rated @ 10 amps and the AW 1600's are rated @ 26 amps.
Any good quality high drain battery is going to be safe in a mech, but that's only part of the picture... As a general rule, the higher the amp rating, the higher the voltage it can deliver under a given load. So... While both the AW 1600 and the Panasonic CGR18650CH are both good, safe batteries, the AW will be able be able to deliver higher voltages under load. You just need to swap batteries more often.
HTH
Actually the lifespans of the AW IMR 1600 and CGR18650CH are very close for mech vaping.
Actually it depends on the resistance of the coil... Higher res coils, the Panny will last longer... Low res coils the AW will last longer.
In practice they will still be very close. Most of the additional life comes at low voltage, and with a higher resistance coil you won't be getting much vapor at those low voltages, so the battery is likely to be changed before that extra capacity can be used.
Okay. So after reading this, I'm confused. I'm looking to get into mechs and RDAs. Was planning on getting as much as possible in one order to fasttech for simplicity. The one thing that is holding me up are the batteries/charger. I was going to get the pannys listed in this thread, but now I'm not sure.
Well what are your other options, really? The only thing that might be significantly better than AW 1600s in a mech that fasttech sells might be the sony 30a battery but I have not seen enough testing to say for sure. The CGR18650CHs compare very well.
A lot does depend on what you are doing with your mech but if you are looking at RDAs and subohm coils, that's the deal.
the sony's dont even come close
