Sony US18650VTC3 3.7V 1600mAh, Safe chemistry? safe for mechs?

[sawtoothscream]

Any info on these? 30amp discharge sounds great for sub ohm vaping but besides that idk much about them. Trying to figure out if its a safe chemistry hybrid li ion like panasonics or if its just a li ion battery. Brother just ordered some for his mech and I just want to make sure he isnt going to blow his face off. I told him to get aw IMR 18650 1600mah but think he is sold on these. thanks

I just got a couple of these to use on my K100 mech. Here is some data on them from Pbusardo.

I'm sure it's not the Pany hybrid technology, but don't know the chemistry they are using. I can tell you they feel the same to me in use as MNKE IMR 18650's (that's good). That's with no scientific testing, just the seat of my pants and not over a long time. I do not have AW IMR batteries to compare to.

I typically run 0.6 ohm coils and have taken these batteries down to 0.4 ohms, but not for long. They handled that just fine with no warming up.

IMO your brother is going to be all right

thanks, I know they should do everything fine, just dont want it to short and blow up. he is buying a fuse though so he should be safe?

I ran them at .2 ohm with quads for a couple of days.

Hmm, the link is broken.

this battery is pretty good. ran it on a all brass m16 clone. tested it by trying to take long drags. didnt experience any overheating like button getting hot or the mech body. problem i did get was just atty getting pretty hot. this can be solve with delrin tip
