Hi guys! I just need a bit of help on whether or not if a coil is safe for my battery. Im running an CGR18650CH and i think my math is off because on the ohm calculator it says i can use a .2 ohm build but i know for sure thats not right.
Need help for coil building

at 3.7v which is them batteries, at 0.2 ohms you're at 18 amps with a 10a battery. Not safe at all.

0.4 would put you at 9 amps, but that's pushing the limits of it. 0.5 ohms you're at 7 amps. I'd say minimum 0.5 ohms, but I personally would get different safer batteries. At least 20a batteries. I did this math with ohms law on steam engine.

Yea those are the batteries! Thank you so much I was using the lowest discharge rate. And why would you recommend higher ampage batteries? Just curious
10 amp continuos discharge rate of your battery is no Bueno. Running your .2 build with that kind of battery can cause your battery to vent, or heat up and catch on fire since your pushing it beyond its built discharge rate. Go with any high end battery. I have LG HE2s and EFest purple 18650s all rated at 35 amp pulse and ~20 amp continuous and they all run perfectly on.2 builds.
He is telling you to get higher amp discharge batteries because you are currently risking a battery venting in your mod. Your battery is rated for 10 amp discharge. With a 0.2 ohm coil at 3.7 volts, you would be running it at 18 amps, which is 80% more than the battery is rated for. If you are getting 4 volts out of it, you are running it at 20 amps, which is double what it is rated for. If you move up to a battery rated for 20 amps, you are going to be a lot safer. If you plan on building that low, I would just tell you to skip the 20 amp discharge batteries and get some authentic VTC4s from orbtronic and have something rated for 30 amps. Even if the most you ever draw is 20 amps, that still gives you a lot of safety margin.
