Wow! You're vaping what's nearly a dead short! I hope ur batteries can handle that kind of abuse... Please don't blow your face off, that would not be good for anyone in this hobby, least of all you.
That's only 12 amps at the nominal 3.7v - he's at half the limit for AW IMR 18650 1600s, and there are even safer batteries out there. He's fine.

Try 21 amps. And at full battery, it's going to be more than 24 amps. That's like jumping up and down on a wooden bridge because it says weight limit 200 and you're only 190.

Sorry, you're right - I thought I'd read .3 somewhere, not .17. Definitely not something I'd try without a 50 amp 26650, if ever.

Probably the only portable battery that could safely handle those ohms.

Also take into consideration the accuracy of the test equipment. What if his ohm meter is off by .05, which by most standards would be relatively accurate. Making his build really 0.12. That would be 35 amps at 4.2

Yikes.

Reminds me of a car I drove once. It was a Datsun 280z (before Nissan bought them out) with an inline 6 cylinder engine and 3 dual barrel carburetors on it....for the mathematically challenged that was 1 barrel per cylinder dumping gas into that beast. The thing was so fast it could pass up anything on the road.... except a gas station.

Seems to me a .17ohm quad coil build like that would likewise burn through liquid so fast you would need juice shipments coming in daily.

People that do this are risking serious injury. Devices like this give responsible vapers a bad name. Good luck with that time bomb. I will stick to my boring and lame 1.8-2.0 ohm setup.

Just saying, there are lower builds out there who have not removed their faces yet. I am sub ohm on all my atomizers but my current lowest is at a .3 with an Efest 1600MAH 30A 18650

Yea I think the days of vaping to quit smoking are slowly going away. Now its just becoming a big fad! I have several younger cousins now that vape who have never smoked a real cigarette in there life and they are vaping at 18mg! And everyone of them are attemping to build ridiculous setups to "chuck" the vapor! There are even biggest "cloud" contests at local B&M shops around my area. I have nothing against sub ohm bc I have two setups now but nothing below .8 but .17 is crazy low!
