Worst best case scenario:

2 coils @ 0.13Ω
Total resistance - 0.13Ω/2 = 0.065Ω
1 x 30T, theoretical maximum current draw = 35A
1 x 30T, fully charged (in peak condition) = 3.6V

Current draw according to Ohms law (excluding switch, battery and contact resistance)
3.6V/0.065Ω = 55.4A

Power dissipated = 55.4A x 3.6V = 199W

You want to be drawing a maximum of 30A (80% of capacity to be safe, even less if the battery is old or not genuine)

So in reality, you are running your battery at ~ 60% over its rated maximum.

No wonder you have thermal issues. Please take the advice others have given above, under these conditions you are an accident waiting to happen.

These figures are an estimated best case, if your battery has an internal short, not only will the figures be greater, but thermal runaway will make it worse.

mate dual coils come out to 0.13 not 0.065 dual

No worries, sorry, misunderstood.

Revised figures:

2 Coils @ 0.26Ω
Total resistance - 0.26Ω/2 = 0.13Ω
1 x 30T, theoretical maximum current draw = 35A
1 x 30T, fully charged (in peak condition) = 3.6V

Current draw according to Ohms law (excluding switch, battery and contact resistance)
3.6V/0.13Ω = 27.7A

Power dissipated = 27.7A x 3.6V = 99.72W

Thats a lot healthier ;).
