I haven't noticed any battery heat. However, unless the battery got pretty hot, I'm not sure I would pick it up through the don (the SS version, which is pretty thick). Obviously, the atty gets fairly hot.

I'm not sure if I would use that on say a provari. that is a lot of amperage . are your battery is getting warm ?

That's about 5.3 amps which is extremely high. The average setup draws 1.5 to 2 amps.

I've now done a few tests where I take several long drags (5-6 seconds each) with maybe 2 seconds between drags, and then immediately remove the batteries. No heat heat coming from the batteries at all. This site (IMR16340 / IMR14500 / IMR18350 / IMR18490 / IMR18650 / IMR26500 *Part 2*) says that the AW IMRs have a maximum continuous discharge rate of 6 amps. I assume "continuous" means that you could run 6 amps through the battery continuously until it went dead without a problem. Is that right? It looks like I'm under 6 amps. However, assuming I go over 6 amps, in short bursts, how much of a problem would that be?

as I understand it the hi drain batteries don't have the same thermal runaway problem the standard lipos do ... if it were standard lipo battery I would say that 6 amps continuous with 30 sec bursts over 15amp... No problem... BUT it is LiMn so I am not sure

I am lucky enough to currently have g-tank-us and with 4 wraps (I think it was 4 wraps, I followed Dan's video instructions exactly) THANKS DAN
thank-you.gif
of 32 ga. Kanthal I get an ohm reading of 2.4 Hope this helps

I also want to add I LOVE the stainless steel, even though it's heavier than the poly. it looks fantastic.;)

On my g-tank-us with it's very thin ss wick I need 7 to 8 wraps of 32 kenthal to get 2.4 ohms. My meter measures it at 2.8 but I have to subtract .4 that is the internal resistance of the meter.
