Thats a bad idea! Efest batteries are rewraps and do not push the 35A that they claim. More likely a B or C bin rewrap of a 20A battery. Not good for .09 coils. In fact i dont think its wise to run .09ohms on ANY mech mod. The fact that you're not building them yourself is also alarming. What store is selling you .09 setups knowing you're running them on a mech with efest? Thats just wrong!

i would strongly recommend doing some battery safety research - if you are going to be working with below .1 ohm coils on a mech, you REALLY need to make sure you educate yourself on this stuff, brother - I mean, I know some chicks dig guys with only 3 fingers on each hand, but I'm just sayin...

People go to the vape shop and say I want clouds and the vape shop provides them with clouds. Ohm's law is irrelevant to the customer and now they have to come back for more builds and while they are there sell them more overpriced clones. It's not about safety it's about $$$. And from what I read about that battery through a quick google search its 40A Pulse/20A Continuous.

+1 on the Efests. If you don't have VTC4s, you aren't likely to have anything more than a 20 amp battery. You might not have that. Dear God, .09 coils at 4.2 volts draw more than 46 amps. On a single 20 amp battery, I'd go no more than 16 amps. If you want to run .09s, you need at least a two-battery mod in parallel, and you need honest 30 amp batteries in it. A three-battery mod would be a lot safer.

Im sure that you are holding some battery that has some sort of fancy wrap on it and its size is 18650 and that fancy wrap probably claims that the battery is 40A. However, there are currently NO actual 40A batteries on the market. Just cause someone claims something does not make it true. Unless you can produce a bench test of that battery and prove the results, i have no reason to believe that you have a 40A battery.

Maybe not where you live but I have in my hands a imren 18650 3.7v 2500 mah 40a. You can't tell me its not real lol
Real? Yes, I'm sure it is. Honest? I doubt it. a 40 amp battery that stores 2500 mAh? Seems highly unlikely. 40 amp pulse rating, maybe 3-5 seconds. But likely not even half that for continuous discharge. Believe us or not as you choose. But .09s on a mech is far deeper than I would go.

Well im gonna order some new batteries for the sigelei 150 im buying. Any suggestions on batteries?
Be glad to help with that. Sony VTC4s. Buy them from illum.com, orbtronics.com or rtdvapors.com. These dudes are honest dealers, and the Sonys are often counterfeited. There are two other honest 30 amp cells, according to @Mooch 's bench tests, but they're uncommon in this country and they don't have great capacity. the VTC4s are about the best available. RTD has them bundled, 4 for 29 bucks, and two free safety storage cases.

Im not taking it as rude at all. Apparently I need the advice. Im looking at the samsung 25r at the moment. And is there a trustworthy vendor online I could use?
The 25R's are very good batteries, but they only test out at 20 amps, despite the label. You can get them at the three vendors I listed in my other post.
