Hi, I have a k100 mod and right now I'm either deciding on and Igo - l or a smok RDA Octopus. Each would be running around a .6 - .9 ohm coil. Maybe even less. And I know the stock batteries aren't good enough for use of this kind of coil. So I was wondering if you guys could recommend any batteries from fasttech which are unprotected and have an amp draw of atleast 20 or close to that. (I really dont know how to tell if its unprotected or not and I do not know how to find the amp draw of a battery.) Thanks in advance. Any other advice would be helpful too.

im no expert so someone that knows more may chime in and correct me but i ordered Amazon.com: 4pcs Panasonic CGR18650CH 3.6 Volt Li-ion Battery 2250 mAh: Everything Else for my k100 and i believe they are 10amp limit batterys and with a .6-.9 ohm coil i believe at 3.6v your looking at a 6a-4a draw but like i said im no expert still new to this as well hopefully someone can correct me if i am wrong cuz i dont wana get these and fire off a sub ohm coil and be wrong
I got these for my k100 and sentinel clone:
$16.21 Panasonic NCR18650B Protected Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack / overcharge + over-discharge protection at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
what ohm range should I be staying in? Fairly new to which batteries are safer at which ohm range

I ordered my k100, igo-l, and these batts and charger from fast tech
Batts
The max amps for the batteries is 10 so as long as you dont go super sub ohm its all good. Best batteries they got and they are cheap.
Charger
The charger is supposed to stop charging the bats once its done so you dont overcharge them.

The Max discharge rate on those batteries is either 3 or 6 amps i couldnt figure out which one it was because i only researched for 5 min, normally higher mah batteries have low max discharge rates but as long as you stay above 1.5 you should be fine.
Yeah that sounds right but you should use 4.1 or 4.2 for your volts assuming your using a fresh battery give or take .1-.2 for voltage drop
Yeah I knew I was forgetting something havent used or tested my bats yet as I am still waiting on my charger and mod vape mail so I used the 3.6v in the description for the math lol <palm to forehead>
Any Batteries from fasttech that anyone could recommend for me that will work really well with sub ohm coils? Thanks. Links would be very helpful
It's (Panasonic NCR18650B) datasheet rated for 2C at least, meaning ~6.8A. I'm having a hard time finding the datasheet stating it was rated for 10A. The thing is, I've done some destruction testing on them a few months ago with great success. I could not get it to catastrophically vent with a dead short. The ONLY way I got it to fail was by putting it in an oven while under the short circuit load. Though, your mileage may vary. That is my disclaimer. I've been treating them as 10A batteries ever since I found out they existed, in vaporizing and other engineering projects and they have not let me down yet. Running them at 10A will shorten their life down to about ~300 cycles from what I can tell, though.
If you're looking for 10A+ rated batts with good capacity, I'd look at the Panasonic NCR18650PD. Great batt, high discharge with great capacity. If you're looking at sheer documented discharge capacity, I'd look at the Sony US18650VTC3. 30A max continuous discharge. I have some on the way and I'll do some ESR tests vs the NCR18650PD.
