Still hesitant on proper safe building referring to ohm readings , any veteran vape ECF member can tell me a proper safe build AND safe proper ohms for 2.5-3mm sil.wick 28ga kanthal wire for 18650 batts? 18490 batts? 18500 batts? 18350 batts? Goes for mnke too , aw's, efest.. Currently using a Nemesis with a 18650 batt.. Looking for a simple guide not too technical. As usual , thank you in advance. I appreciate the help.

Current mod:Nemesis topped with an igo-w drilled to 2 holes with exactly 2mm.


(Not sure if this is the correct forum to be postin but if it is delete please and PM me direct me the link to my inquiry thank you in advance.)

I dont wind my own coils. But, the capacity of the battery wont matter. All the ones you listed will be 3.7volts. The "18650" etc. designations are the capacity of the battery so it is irrelevant. Basically it tells you how long the battery will last but it will still be 3.7 v. In reality though the numbers(18650 for example) is the size of the battery which directly relates to its capacity. Technically a 3.7v batteries are typically 4.2v when fully charged though. But you do want to find the right ohms on your coils for 3.7 volts and it will be the same for all of those batts.

Here is my personal setup for "cloud chasing"

AW IMR 18650 1600 MAH - 24 AMP
MNKE 18650 1500 MAH - 20 AMP
Make sure they are the correct mah becuase the AW IMR 18650 2000 mah only has an amp limit of 10

I don't know anything about the smaller batteries because I prefer something that has more battery life
With those two batteries in the 650 range you should be fine with just about any build
The lowest my build has been is .2 ohm and there is no problem at all
My normal build range is .3-.5 and the batteries hold up just fine
Just make sure you have an ohm reader and the ohms law on your phone to make sure everything is good
