I was curious if there was a battery substantially larger than the Mnke 26650 3500mah . I've been vaping for a while and want to build a mod myself but I wanted to try a battery with a higher cd rating than the 65 amps available to me using the 26650 .… any info is helpful !
Ps. It's gonna be a super sub ohm and unregulated . Right now I have one that runs at .06 ohms which pulls about 61.23 amps with my 26650 . Max is 65 amps which is why I'm looking for something else that can handle a little more
Thanks

Not that I am aware of. What device are you using to measure your coil's resistance? :confused:


BTW, the maximum continuous discharge rating of your battery is only 20 amps, not 65 amps. MNKE 26650 3500 mAh battery

Maximum Continuous Discharging Current 20A
Maximum pulse Discharging Current 60A


There is NO battery on the market that can safely fire a 0.06 ohm coil. I personally IGNORE "pulse ratings", and ALWAYS go with the "continuous rating". The fact that you haven't had a venting incident YET is purely luck. And on a mechanical mod (with no protection) to boot.




Excuse the following rant:

Continuous Discharge Ratings vs Pulse (Burst) Discharge Ratings

The "continuous discharge rating" in amps is the standard specification for amp limits within the battery industry. It is a determination made by the manufacturer and represents the amp limit a battery can be safely used before it will fail.

The "pulse or burst" discharge rating is not a specification standard within the battery industry. Every manufacturer or vendor seems to have their own definition of what the pulse rating is. Many are inflated numbers over the continuous rating to boost sales without regards to safety.

A pulse discharge rating is any use above the continuous discharge rating. It is never safe and not within the intended operating parameters of the battery. You should not operate your device above the continuous rating if you can help it. The pulse rating is a condition in which the battery is on basically a buildup to failure. It is exceeding the sustainable and intended discharge rate of the battery. It is inappropriate for a consumer device to operate in the pulse range of its battery.

Which would be why we shouldn't rely on any pulse rating. Any failure, mechanical or electronic, that fires the mod will operate in the 'continuous' mode. If your setup relies on a pulse rating, it's instantly over spec.

If your amp draw is safely in the continuous discharge range, your coil could act almost like a fuse and burn out before the battery is stressed. If you are already running the battery at the edge of it's limits (pulse), there is no margin of safety.

Please keep in mind that the batteries that we are using for vaping were not designed for what you are using them for. They were designed to be used in power tools which have built-in protection in the tool. To use them above spec in an unprotected device is foolhardy.

Heed the above information at your own discretion. Please vape safely.
