So, I understand some of what's required for sub ohm vaping, but would like a straight forward answer to a couple questions before I go and order my new RTA. I'm looking into getting the Aspire Atlantis, I currently have the 5ml nautilus and it's okay but I want a bit more. My setup as of now is an AR Mod with a AW 18650 IMR 3.7V 2200 mAh 20A battery. If my Ohm's Law is correct then I would assume 3.7/.5= 7.4A drain should be well under my 20A Max Continuous Discharge Rating that is assuming AW is telling the truth about their 20A Max Continuous. Meaning this battery should be fine for use with the Atlantis Sub Ohm tank, Correct? And If this battery IS fine what are your thoughts on the Sony VTC4 3.6V 30A IMR 18650 2100 mAh? Is it worth upgrading my battery or am I okay with what I have? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Always use the fully charged voltage of 4.2v in calculations.
4.2v / .5Ω = 8.4a & 35.3w which is well within the ' safe ' range of an authentic AW 2200mah 20a cdr battery.
IMO, AW is an excellent reliable battery, their ratings are true.
There are fakes / counterfeits of AW batteries, buying from a reputable dealer is always a good idea to ensure you get an authentic.
There is no need to buy a 30a cdr battery unless the amp drain of the resistance ranges you intend to use requires more than a 20a can safely support or if you use a regulated apv that the manufacturer recommends a 30a cdr battery.
Using a .5Ω resistance you will see no benefit or difference between the 20a & 30a battery.

Thank you Elvis for your clarification on this subject. I figured I was fine but wanted an experienced vaper to let me know for sure. And yes checked to make sure my AW was authentic by checking the AW sticker under blacklight, even though the website is an authorized retailer for AW batteries, it never hurts to double check! Again thanks for your help, pleasant vaping!
let me throw this out there you say check the voltage or figure the voltage of 4 volts okay volts times amps equals wattage.I do not know what this gentleman mod is but on my unlimited mod which is equipped with a volt meter you ain't going to see 4volts when you fire it real good battery even on a point five build dip down to 3.8which changes the equation entirely don't get me wrong I understand Ohm's law is Ohm's law use a calculator and you'll see what I mean every time you multiply the volts times the amperage it's going to = the watts that's part of that law and the battery is its 3.7 operating that's its operating voltageI like I said I'm a newbie I don't know if I'm out thinking myself or not but if somebody can throw me a different way to look at this cuz I do believe in safety here to learn not to argue I just ordered a pair of Samsung r25 batteries today and was trying to find some of the Sony I believe VTR 5's not the four but the 5's I did a short video on these batteries with voltage I couldn't believe it I thought I had bad batteries then I went to the spec sheet and even on there spec sheet they show a tremendous dip in their batteries anything below 0.8 and I vape from .8 /.2. I wish they would make a spec sheet that rated batteries in ohms and just say this battery will fire a. 8 and above on the this battery will be good down to. .3 build and above amps get confusing to me are we talking continuous amps momentary amps and what is momentary is at 2 seconds 3 seconds 10 seconds need simple in put thanks
Your battery is safe to use at those ranges. I want to add that people like to knock Sony, but I think they are one of the highest quality control companies in the world. I still have a Walkman that will work if I didn't stream every tune now, and I have a Trinitron color TV that was manufactured in 1981 and still looks as good as the day I bought it, and I'm not lying. They are not a battery company, but all their products always come with a set of Sony batteries with it. You cannot go wrong with a product made by Sony. They don't look at battery manufacturing as their bread and butter, they build audio equipment and TV's, so they won't rule the roost of vaping batteries. Just stay away from battery companies that have the word FIRE in their title, lol.
The OP (Original poster) is using a mech mod; when using a mech mod, you use 4.2 volts in the max amps calculation.
When using a regulated mod, the battery might actually get down to 3 volts while the mod circuitry attempts to draw power from it; in that case you use 3 volts or whatever the voltage cutoff value is for the mod.
Thanks so at what point do I stop and charge my battery s right now on my mech mod battery s dual 18650 read 3.91 until I vape .23 then 3.56 I have been charging them at 3.6 and no load bat are lgdbhe21865
That is generally where I change them.
For me right around 3.6v the drop off becomes pretty noticeable, so its easy to tell when I need to swap out for a fresh one.
