I wouldn't leave your learning up to him. If you value your face and even life, I would read up on it so YOU understand what YOU are doing and how mechs, batteries and coils are all married with a mech and not leave YOUR safety in his hands. At the end of the day if this friend of yours tells you something and you you put it into use and not read up on it and understand it, it's not your buddies face or hand being blown off...it's yours so if you value you digits, hands, face or even life I wouldn't put my trust fully in your friends because earlier in this thread you shared something and mentioned your friend told you that and what he told you wasn't correct. We are just here to inform you and try to help you not be a statistic that makes vaping in general look bad.
If I were you I would read up and UNDERSTAND how ohms law works (I will post a pic in this thread on how I learned ohms law and I keep the pic on my phone in case someone needs it wether on here or if I'm in a local B&M shop and someone needs it so save the pic I'm sending you), read up on battery amps (I'll also include a pic I got from Mooch on here (our own battery guru on ECF) and how a coil builds resistance have to be married to the battery using ohms law to be safe.

@Cubcake
Please understand that lots of members in ECF are truly experienced vapers and they only want to help! Take their advice about learning as much as you can about cells and ohms law.
Now, regarding your question let me tell you that I started vaping last august and just decided to buy my first mech about a month ago. It is a Broadside Admiral and it's a beautiful mech.
So a 18650 Broadside mod is a good option since it has no hybrid connection and the delrin insulation prevents a short if your battery wrap is damaged.
But the most important safety feature of the Broadside is its owner (as with any other mech) so please understand how mechs work and learn all you can about battery safety.
Here is a chart that will help you to understand Ohms Law.

Why not he's an expertI wouldn't leave your learning up to him.

That's up to you to trust him or not. If he was a so called "expert", he would have told you that the battery you are running in the mech is not rated for what you said was "30A-40A off of a .18 build". That's a big difference and with these batteries and mechs there isn't a round about number. It's either this or that. Your playing with fire my friend and if I were you I would trust myself not to get burnt and not leave it in someone else's hand. If you say he is an expert and you trust him with your life (and it sounds like that's exactly what you are doing) go for it. I'm wiping my hands here. I and a lot of other people who has chimed in have given you what you need (besides the answer your looking for) to learn about ohms law and if you don't want our help then so be it.
Why don't you talk to your expert friend and have him tell you what mech mod you should get? I mean he is the expert here. Obviously you don't trust us (we must not care about a fellow vaper). You did say he is an expert so he must know a lot more than we do. Have a good day sir and I hope your not the next contestant for the Darwin Award. Good luck!

If he advised you to use that atty, with that mod, he is far from an expert.
"Doing what an 'expert' does" without understanding what you are actually doing can get you hurt when using mechanical mods.
Why people resist learning how to use their gear properly baffles me.
Yeah I don't understand it either. I agree that if the expert told him to use that with his batteries he wasn't much of an expert.
Multiple people including myself gave the OP what he needed to figure it out himself w/o giving him the answer and he seemed like he didn't want to take our advise and learn what he needs so if we see on the 6:00 news that someone blew up their face and hand we will know what happened.

PS, you don't have to "know" ohms law. You just need to know how to use a calculator.
Plug in 4.2 for volts, and .18 for resistance, and it will tell you the amp draw.

Your right but I wouldn't tell someone to start using a mech unless the understand ohms law. For people who don't know ohms law and sees these numbers they don't know what they mean you may as well tell them to read a book in Japanese. Highly recommended to learn ohms law so they will understand the marriage between the coils and battery amp draw.

I say,
it! Let him get a mech mod! Been awhile since a good vape explosion made the news 
I say,
Did you censor that or did ECF?

You don't need to be able to do the math in your head.
You DO need to understand how ohm's law relates to vaping and battery use/safety.
Yeah...anybody can use a calculator. Not everybody who vapes knows ohms law and the latter is a must-need-to-know when using mechs.

I say,
The saying "are you blind or refuse to see " comes to mind , also "casting pearls to swine " I have been vaping a long time and there is not a day that goes by that I don't learn something new from reading answers /advice from ecf members. .....one more saying, "a person has to have a teachable spirit "
