im going to need some help with this one!!!!

[JoeDerty]

I love box mods but ordered my fist 2 mechs today. The first is a Black Magneto i ordered the good 18650 Sony batterys for it. I also ordered the Bagua Mech clone witch is 18350. So not knowing anything about batterys besides 18650s what is the best 18350 battery on the market? also what is the lowest ohm i should run on the battery you recommend?

I believe the two highest quality LiMn 18350s are the AW IMRs and the Efest IMRs. The AWs have a 6 amp limit, so I wouldn't push them past 1.2 ohms. (One half of the total rated output)

Ok makes since now thanks!

AW IMR 18350 is 700 mah and has a max output of 6 amps. You can safely run them down to about .8 ohms.

I disagree, I've used this analogy before, but I think it's a good one.

Pushing a battery to it's absolute limit is like jumping up and down on a wooden bridge that says "Weight Limit 200" because you're only 190 lbs.

You should always use a factor of safety, I prefer a factor of safety of 3 (1/3 amp limit) but many insist a factor of safety of 2 (1/2 amp limit) is fine.

I run 1.0, I feel safe lolz

I run 1.0, I feel safe lolz

A more resounding affirmation could not be had.

my kayfuns are all built around 1.4-1.6 so itll be fine for that. ill just save my low ohm drippers for the 18650 or dna 30

is this even possible with that little battery? 1500mah TangsFire® 4pcs 18350 3.7V 1500mah Rechargerable Li-ion batteries (Hot sale) - Amazon.com

I like headroom as well, but I don't feel I have to stay under 50% CDR. I personally take my AW's down to 1 ohm. That equates to 4.2A or ~62% of their 6.8A rating on a fully charged battery. I have gone sub-ohm with them with no problems. However, pushing a battery to its limits will significantly shorten its life. If your "sweet spot" is sub-ohm, 18350's are not the way to go. Anyways, congrats on the new gear.

Sure is, they're just no good for vaping because they're Li-Ion non-high drain.

I am using Efest 18650 35amp in my mechanical.
My build is currently 2x12 wraps coils @ .90ohms
Not so much heat that it burns the tongue and chucks the vapor. I try to stay right around 1.ohm or a little lower. Although I have pushed them with duals @ .50 ohms. Imo that build is way to hot for my taste. But nothing unsafe about it.
