I'm going to attempt building my first Rd a build using a Sony vtc3 battery. According to sony's spec sheet it days it has a 30 amp discharge and holds a 3.7 charge. What would be a safe range on the ohm reader to run it safely? Thanks in advance

I bought 2 efest batteries from mt baker vapor and the next 2 from amazon - Amazon.com: 2 Efest Purple IMR 35A 18650 2500mAh 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Batteries: Electronics
25 5 star reviews all saying genuine so I dunno

Problem is that the 2500mAh efest is actually a LG18650HE2 2500mAh 20 amp battery in a pretty purple wrapper.
Which would mean that a 0.4 ohm coil would be as low as I would want to go. (10 amp load)

That info's pretty much all over the place if you do some digging. There's no such thing as a 35 amp max continuous discharge 18650. The technology isn't there.
