First thing first: Safety
I guess your battery is either this one sony hybrid us18650vct3 1600mAh or this one sony hybrid us18650vtc4 2100 mAh, while they both have a 30 amp limit, running 0.2ish ohms is usually not recommended. If for some reason your resistance drops below 0.2 ohm, (which can easily happen, especially when new to rebulding or new to a specific atomizer) you will end up pumping more current out of your battery than what any battery can safely allow. I strongly suggest you to learn about micro coils, wicking and airflow. Cloud chasing is not only a matter of resistance.
Second thing second:
I didn't mean to offend but you came here with a condescending "know it all attitude".
This is pretty much what I read out of what you said so far:
- "I'm a engineer who knows about high school physics! I even know the word ohms! I have nothing to learn here.... But take a look at my car"
You offended more people here than I offended you.
Whatever you do
vape safely.

I would be quick to point out that even having a degree in engineering doesn't make me an expert on all things engineered, and many of us have/have had some pretty wicked cars. Unfortunately we still had to learn about advanced methods of vaping. The fanciest PV on the planet is for naught until we learn how to use it properly. The first SS mesh wick I ever rolled "worked", unfortunately a dirty sweat sock would have been a better wick! The first coil I ever made measured exactly 1 ohm, unfortunately it vaped like 0.1 ohm because of the hot spot. The list just goes on and on about learning how to make different types of wicks & coils.
Learning WHERE to buy batteries is more important than learning WHICH batteries are safe to use. Take our word for it, what is printed on a battery is not always true. There are more counterfeit batteries around than you can count.
A couple of years ago one of the major players came out with one of the first 'made in China' VV mods. The kits contained "AW IMR 18650 batteries". Unfortunately AW doesn't offer ANY flat top batteries.
Bottom line is that the key to safe advanced vaping comes from education, not the list of mods that we buy.
But there is a thread here in the noob section to post pics of your nice collection.

While it may sound like he is bragging(and he may very well be), i just ignore it, as he may not have been meaning to.
I'm constantly surrounded by people because of my work who fall in the top 1% of income earners(while i am far from that), and so realize that people who make that kind of money sometimes don't realize that most people don't, and really don't mean to be condescending. Obviously there are douchebags who make it their goal in life to talk about their money and showoff, but most have just forgotten, as the people they hang out with all make similar amounts of money.
Anyways back on topic,

I won't say how much I spend on mods and gear. But I will say my favorite at the moment is probably my cheapest.
Astro clone mech, chimbus (nimbus clone) drip atty…..$60 all in.

I agree with most, and apologize collectively to the people who viewed this thread. This thread was the result of a lapse of judgment on my part. And I should of known this would happen as I've been contributing to one forum or another for over a decade.
Again this was unintentional, and to most that doesn't mean anything, but this hobby, and this forum keep me from smoking, and I hate the fact that for the first time since joining I hesitated logging on. I don't want to smoke, and hope that you guys can chalk this up to a newb being an idiot, and let me move on from this, because the idea of smoking again scares the .... out of me
