1.0 ohm = 4.2 amp draw
0.9 ohm = 4.6 amp draw
0.8 ohm = 5.2 amp draw
0.7 ohms = 6 amp draw
0.6 ohms = 7 amp draw
0.5 ohms = 8.4 amp draw
0.4 ohms = 10.5 amp draw

0.0 ohms = dead short = battery goes into thermal runaway
Two Samsung 25R running in
parallel (side by side) will provide 40 amps continuous discharge rate, but only 20 amps continuous if running in
series (end-to-end). However, in regulated mods like the iStick-100 it is the amp limit of the processor chip which determines what ohm coil it will fire. This is where mechs and regulated mods differ with super sub ohm coils.
I don't know the amp limit for the iStick-100's processor chip. If the chip decides the build is too low in Ohms, it should show an error of "atomizer too Lo". A regulated device that puts out an advertised 100 watts should use the highest amp battery available, which are the Sony VTC4 2100mah 30 amp or LG 18650HB6 1500mah 30A CDR. (Note that the LG only has 1500 mah, while the Sony has 2100 mah.)
- "If using a high wattage regulated mod, use a 20 - 30 amp CDR IMR battery, which ever your mod's manufacturer recommends. The processor's amp limit determines the amp requirement in this application, not the atomizer resistance:
75W or higher, we recommend the Sony VTC4 2100 mah 30 amp CDR.
40W-75W =
LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20Amp CDR
Samsung 18650-25R, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR (green wrap if you can, blue wrap is just fine)
LG 18650HE2 2500 mah 20 Amp CDR
Sony 18650VTC5 2600mAh 30Amp CDR (* tested as only a 20 amp CDR)
AW 18650 3000 mah 20 amp CDR
Under 40W =
LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20Amp CDR
Samsung INR18650-30Q 3000mah 15Amp CDR
AW 18650 3000mah 20 Amp CDR"
