What is the reccomended amp draw for say a standard 510 battery? Or what sort of C rating are we looking at here? My cartos are higher res than my att

any rough guidlines would be usefull or better yet someone that really knows the inner tech here chimming in would be fantastic. because I might be spewing out more than the aveage ecig user is willing to consider.

So I got standard attys for my 510. wich are roughly 2.2ohm. The BOGE softcap I got are about 3ohm.
So my question is. What sort of current draw are we looking to not exceed here on a standard 180mah battery? My gut tells me These batteries are at BEST rated for 10C constand 15c burst. In the way we use them to vape obviously we could consider the burst rating.

I'm very familar with lithium batteries current draw and voltage drop. I'm an avid Electric RC airplane flyer.

With out some sort of adapter I'm only left to guess a voltage underload of 3.2v at best. so with a 2.2ohm atty your looking at roughly 1.5amps. 3.2ohm atty 1amp.

I'm looking to maximize my vaping wattage with what I got basicly. standard 510 bats are 180. long at 280. I'm NOT looking for a huge ... battery. I'm looking to maximize my vaping with what I have at roughly cig size. so I'm looking for how low I can safely go with the atty resistance and not murder my batteries..I mean I know they are "protected" but still.. I'm sure their protection circutes are a bit liberal I'm sure they allow higher drain than is good for it and the lower voltage cut off is probably lower than it should be for good lith battery health...sorry I'm just tech geek babbeling.

Any solid tech infor or even guidlines would be great. Thanks

Well, I'll jump in before the "experts" show up.
The little battery in little e-cigs is just that, little. I personally would not recommend going any lower than the resistance of a genuine Joye 510 atty (2.2 ohms). Cartos 2.2 and above should not hurt it anymore than the atty. Over 3 ohms and you probably won't get the hit you want. You are correct that it's the burst/short term limitation we are most concerned with, as has been the Chinese factories.

The explanation that the 10 second (or less) cut out was to protect us from getting to much nicotine was bull.
It's there to protect the poor little components inside the e-cig, and give them a chance to cool off.
Try and "Hypervape" a little battery and it will die. Try and use a LR atty, and it will die.
Instantly? No. Just will not last. The protection circuits are pretty accurate, just can't handle the heat of repeated "high current bursts" over and over and over. If you plan on sticking with "I'm NOT looking for a huge ... battery" then take it easy with these things. (I know, hard to do, you abuse your RC batteries, me too).
Consider a "huge ... battery" when you can vape discretely, and little cig sized batteries when in public.

When the cartos (fuzzy filled regular length, long length or the CE2 regular length and XL long length) are full, allowed to wick (take a deep breath every once in a while and let the carto catch up) they usually beat the 510 with a standard cart. Drippers will disagree. Probably won't be able to get that "edge" with itty bitty batteries. But, they still work.
