I’ve got dual parallel NI80 coils In most of my Mechs. Except for the tall black one that’s a stacked mech I made some 0.28 ohm twisted kanthal coils for that and it hits hard. That one is two batteries stacked on top of each other so instead of 4.2 volts it’s 8.4. This one uses 21700 batteries rated for 35 amp CDR so the 250 watts it puts out is still in the safe zone.

I don’t recommend getting a stacked dual battery mech though until you get more familiar with mechs.

There is only 1 18650 with a 30amp rating and that is a 20S. THERE ARE NO 18650 BATTERIES WITH A 35 AMP RATING! The guy at the vape store you go to has no clue what he's doing and neither do you. You are an accident waiting to happen. If you keep going how you are we will hear about you on the news because you blew your face off, or worse, you were killed. You should not be using a mech mod until you know Ohm's Law and battery safety. You obviously don't know either one. You are carrying a bomb around and everytime you hit that vape you're playing Russian Roulette. I wish you good luck because you're going to need it.

@Don29palms
There are actually a few 18650s rated for 30amp CDR. That's the Samsung 20S and the LG HB2/4/6. The LGs do not perform very well though.

@Runegod750
Mech mods are never safe. Just like regulated devices. You're always gambling with the devil.
But luckily there are many ways to mitigate the risks.

1. Do not build to the maximum CDR of a cell. If a cell is rated at 30A CDR, you can draw those 30A when the cell is brand new. After some use, the cell's maximum CDR will decrease. And this can happen very fast, when the cell is constantly pushed to the max.
If you still want to go to the max, be prepared to buy new cells on a monthly basis.

2. Keep your battery wraps and top ring insulator in immaculate condition. Every nick, burr or dent is disaster waiting to happen because of a hard short. And when disaster strikes, and it will do so, it won't be funny, belive me.

3. Looks don't matter.
Massive coils are the enemy.
Granted, they may look cool, but in the end they perform like s**t.
They just lure you to push the battery even harder than necessary.

That being said, your .12ohm build is way too low. Even with battery sag and voltage drop of the mod calculated in, you're still over the 30amp limit.
Aim for a resistance of .15 with your coils and you're good to go. You won't recognize a massive drop in performance, but you will benefit from largely enhanced safety.

28*4 is quite a lot of wire and mass that needs to be warmed up before you even get any vapor.
I'm absolutely no fan of simple round wire builds, but a N80 26*2/40 5 wrap coil, which happens to give you a resistance of .15ohm, is a lot more responsive, while maintaining the same heat and vapor production without pushing your battery to its limit.

OP, I don’t have the energy to even begin on this one. It seems you know 1 thing, and it’s the fact you want big clouds.

Please read the advice from the experienced members above BEFORE you use anything. You are a disaster waiting to happen unless you educate yourself on what are very basic things. Once you know them, you won’t need to ask what battery is safe - you will know yourself.

Good luck
