Sony vtc5s 30 amp battery (continuous discharge rate).

0.5 ohms = 8.4 amp draw
0.4 ohms = 10.5 amp draw
0.3 ohms = 14.0 amp draw
0.2 ohms = 21.0 amp draw
0.1 ohms = 42.0 amp draw Steam Engine

Perfect answer to that Question Baditude

Ω = voltage/current. 4.2v ( nice fresh battery)/30A= no lower than 0.14Ω.

I like to not thrash my batteries to within an inch of their lives so i like to build in say a 20% extra safety margin, which also prolongs the life of your battery.
4.2/24 = 0.175Ω

yeah all above information is perfect. you said the coil that you saw was a .35 ohm.... a vtc5 would be perfectly fine doing that. personally i dont like vaping that low, i dont vape super sub ohm. but i do have a .4 ohm dual coil setup in my Quasar RDA and i use vtc5 battery. all good. there is an Ohms Law app and Ohms Law calculators online that will give you info on certain setups.

10% safe. Drive 10 mph yeah, you're safe.
20,30, 40%. Safe enough; Drive 20,30,40 mph, yeah, usually safe enough
50% Ok, now you're cruising comfortable on the highway; you'll be fine..... unless there's ice on the road..... or it's raining heavy.... or you blow a tire while rounding a bend.

75% Ok buddy, you're pushing it

90% Do you have on your seatbelt and your crash helmet?


The sony vtc5 is rated for 30A so
10% = 3 amps
50% = 15 amps
90% = 27 amps

Get a 7 amp 2 Penny Safety Fuse Board and when that blows put in a second one and don't go that low next time. CHEERS!

I've vaped .3 on the sony 30 amp. A bit on the warm side but awesome flavor. I use 22 g or 24 g wire. I'm going to build anther one this week.

I've gone to.25 and while odd it's great it's not a all day thing for me

Not a stupid question, very smart to ask before you put that to your mouth. But .35 is beautiful for a VTC5. I normally am around .35-.55 and use those batteries. No problems and your battery isn't hating you

TO add insight, I have the Sony data sheet on file at home and it's a conflicting thing in the vape world...

So the Sony test subjects have tested a Sony and released info as it is safe for 5 second pulses at over 100amps, I don't vape at that level so I can't add the input on it. But others vape at below .1 ohm and have been doing it for sometime, Does that mean it's safe? Guess it all depends on who you ask.

I can tell you that anything above 30amps will have a direct reflection on it's cycle life, I don't like to buy batteries every month so .5-.4 is fine for my needs. I have seen many videos of people trying to push them past there limits in order to see what happens, Mostly in controlled test and causing a dead short. I have yet to see any explode or do anything more then vent but I guess anything could happen. From a educated stand point I would say do what you feel comfortable with, .3 is stated as safe but many factors are needed to understand what is safe to you. I.E. is .35 safe if holding the button for a minute? is .35 safe if you use every 2 seconds until it is at 3.5volts....
Overall I think for our needs it's safe enough for anything above .1ohm, But again I am just someone and not the end all be all so take it for what its worth. Be safe!
