sup guys? I just finished my first quad coil build & was wondering if 0.37 ohms is decent for it?

Doing the math it's 11.4 amps if your resistance is accurate, assuming 0 resistance between your atomizer and battery (not realistic), and assuming only a single 18650. The VCT5 has a stated initial discharging current of 15A and max continuous discharge of 30A. I don't know what it's impulse current rating is and I don't know what you would be drawing as an impulse current without modeling it. With that said, I would probably do a quick test fire with a peak holding current meter in line to see what it may be and search to find out what the battery is rated or has been tested to. My first instinct is to think it's probably OK.

Yes, you are safe if you have bought authentic Sony VTC5's (there are lots of counterfeit VTC5's out there (Amazon & Ebay to name a few)
If you unfamiliar with battery safety, Ohm's Law, amp draw, etc. I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. Baditudes Blogs.

Hi RollinStoned and welcome to ECF!
Assuming it's a GENUINE VTC5 (which these days is a big assumption - they're not being made any more and there's lots of fakes being sold), you should be safe at .37 ohms.
Reliable sources for batteries:
Batteries-Chargers-Flashlights-Only The Best
Authentic AW Batteries - RTD Vapor
Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More!
Do not buy batteries from eBay or Amazon. Some of their third party sellers sell fakes.
Hope that helps and Happy Vaping!
I'm familiar with the ohm laws & battery safety.. I've researched a lot haha I bought the Sony from vaportek & the comparison pics online shows that my battery is authentic. thanks for the replies tho guys , I appreciate it!
another question.. how do I post pictures to the forum?

Trust me on this, the counterfeiters have seen those comparison pics also.
He don't have time for that, just wants to post pics of his sick quad coils.
lol exactly , if I can't have a cloud blowing mod than atleast I'll have a pipe bomb!
You'll be able to post pics once the system updates you to a Full Member.
Since you have your 5 posts, should update in about 5 min, 25 past the hour.
Welcome, and play safe
