im guessing 1 leg is longer to reach the Negative post to center the coil... wouldnt that long leg affect power?

Long legs waste power but short legs affect vapor quality on large diameter toppers. I get best vapor when coil is about 1 mm from air intake on supra-ohm builds.

My favorite toppers are tiny 14.5 mm and 17.5 mm. They have short legs and the coil is close to air intake. Tasty vape and efficient.

I thought I saw you say you're using the Sony's to power that beast. Um not busting balls I'm just making sure I get it. Isn't the Sony only rated for .14+? I though 30a was .14 and 35a was .12 as low end absolute minimums

Specs on the Sony vtc4 its more then capable of handling the load.

This is the diagram of the Sony vtc4 batteries. Clearly you can continuous fire for about 15 sec safely . I can only drag for MAYBE 5 sec. My battery only gets slightly warm. Never has it been hot in the hand.

Until it doesn't.... just do us a favor, and when your battery vents, please don't post it anywhere online, or maybe call it a "flashlight failure"... the last thing we need is people knowingly pressing their gear past the limit, and then advertising the results for the world to see, mmmk?

If you had done the research on the battery you would know I'm being completely safe. Pulse fire gives me 60amp draw...I'm not sure where your confusion is.

You may be safe on a brand new battery but batteries do not last forever. They will wear down and not function as they did initially. So eventually when your pulling 30 amps from this .12 ohm setup the battery will no longer be able to handle it and it will vent and it will not be fun. So unless you plan on replacing batteries every week or so I wouldn't trust using this setup very often or even at all. Just my opinion though.

I understand that. I'm constantly testing my batteries. I use 6 vtc4s everyday I rotate through. This isn't a chain smoke build its a cloud chase build which is maybe why your not so thrilled in seeing me show it off here. I appreciate what your saying.
