save ohms for 18350 bateery

[cteal5834]

Hey I'm new to rebuildables I have a igo-w3, sentinel m-16 clone and 18350 batteries on the way I was wondering what would be save ohms to run on it I have 24 gauge kanthal( which after reading around is probably to big) and sterile cotton

24 is to large of a gauge. What 18350 battery do you have? The C Rating of your specific battery is how we can determine Ohms, you should know Ohms law prior to rebuilding. If you tell us the battery we can find the C rating for you. In general a proper chemistry 18350 most likely will not have a C Rating greater than 6 Amps.

You do not want to exceed 75% of that c rating so that you have a buffer - so 4.5Amps - so 1 ohm would be the lowest you would want to go for any coil builds.

To give you the formula for this it is Volts divided by Ohms = Amps. For a mech you use 4.2 Volts (that is a fully charged battery)

Hope this helps some, we can check for your battery specifically once you give us more details on it

Thanks for this. So, my 18350s are EFEST 700mAH, 10.5A. Theoretically, what's the lowest I should run them?

Are you using the efest 10.5 amp 18350's? If so you can go a bit lower

Theoretically I still wouldnt run that battery below 1 Ohm until some independent results are out on C rating accuracy and with only 700 mah - I would think you are gonna have to fight to stay over 3.7V for more than 10 minutes if you dared it down any lower.
