If it's a genuine AW IMR battery (bought from a reputable supplier), then the one with the black band at the bottom is rated for 20 amp continuous.

At 0.35 ohms, that will pull 12 amps from a freshly charged battery. So, assuming the information above is correct, I would say you are within the safe limits of this battery.

Just remember this is for normal use and if you have a hard short, or leave the mod firing in your pocket or something, bad things can still happen.

If it is an authentic AW 2200mah 18650 battery is has a 20a CDR.
At .35 of an ohm you will draw 12a from the battery, at .5 = 8.5a.
Not to be rude or sound harsh, but, if you're asking this question it is probably best that you not go below .5 until you understand basic battery safety.

Yeah, batteries can do alot of damage when they start venting and explode.

Yes it has a 20A CDR. Not planning on going below .5 ohms any time soon but just wanted a better understanding of the equipment im using. Thanks for the help
