Higher amp rating won't make it work any better, just work safer. A 0.4 build at 4.2 volts is only about 10.5 amps. Your 20 amp batteries are perfectly fine in my personal opinion, but if you plan to drop any lower into subohm territory I would get some vtcs (good luck finding some) or something comparable. I run mxjo 35 amp batteries and have taken them down to 0.14 ohms. I know at 4.2 volts that's 30 amps and people are shaking their heads but I'm always safe with my builds. Have fun and vape safe.

The general consensus is that the MXJO 35A batteries are 20A continuous (just like the purple EFest 35A). Here is one thread on this topic. MXJO IMR 2500mAh 20A Cont 35A Pulse There are other threads on this as well.

I always use my vtc 4's &5's but i have used my efest for some low ohm, and they have to be over 20a continuous, ive had builds pulling around the 20 area and they are absoloutly fine, no heating issue or anything, and yes iam perfectly safe with my battery chemistry, ohms law and so on, yoo many people have been ignorant too sub ohm safety and wonder why there face is blown off. On the other hand very well done for your build skills! Nice and neat for your first build! Welcome to the cloud family brother!

They are not over 20a continuous. It is already a proven fact. Just because you havent vented one yet does not mean that the amp rating is higher than you think. One day you might not be so lucky. If your going to use the efest keep the build drawing less than 20 IMO.

I agree, Im not gonna be going into the lower sub ohms considering im already at a good low 0.4 and if i ever do i will Definitively get some sony vtc's 30amps

Grats! That looks sweet!
Now, the appropriate question is: What's next? Twisted wire? Tigers? Parallels? Twisted parallels?
jk jk, but in all seriousness, I'm glad you followed all the safety guidelines! :D
I'm definitely glad to see more sensible cloudchasers here on ECF. Too many running around like suicidal headless chickens who didn't do their research.

Lol... reminds me of what happened the other day.... I was in a brick and mortar store, and someone came in with his mod wanting to buy Kanthal for is RDA... he said he was using guitar wire in the meantime until he got some.....

He did "make it safe" (notice that's in quotes) by making sure it was above .3 ohms.

...I just facepalmed and stayed quiet... these shop owners were filling him in on the correct way.
 

Nice setup you got there. what e-Liquid you are using?

This is my upcoming setup waiting for deliverer. Here is what I planned so far gonna shoot some pic's when I get it.

Sub Ohm's 1.8 ohms
28 Gauge Kanthal.
1/8 drill bit for Coil's
Cotton organic.

Drilled Patriot Atomizer.
Chi You Mech Mod.
AW 18650

Kanger Protank 3 + Airflow v3
X-Jet Spider
Vision Spinner 1650mAh v2 ( 2 )
Vision 650mAh ( 2 )


I'm panning in get another Dripper but don't know wich one to get. I just want to keep two for flavors.
