First off, these appear to be eFest batteries. Typically NOT rated as labelled. Second, what build is in your Velocity? Are you familiar with Ohms and Watts Laws?
With those batteries, I'd be running about 1.2-1.5 ohms as a coil resistance, and less than 20W on the device.
Have you read this: Battery safety grades table updated with wattages and coil resistances

Dr. Oz is now doing exploding vape gear?
LMAO that was my 1st thought when reading this. I bet he butchered all the info. The good thing though is if he scares people into learning so i can't complain.
hello everyone !
So i just watched the dr. Oz episode on exploding vape batteries lol and it made me pretty nervous .. i am using a cuboid 200w with a velocity clone from fasttech . Will my batteries vent or explode ? Any help would be appreciated thank you !
here you go! everything you need to know in a quick video I made
I never heard of them but I am not sure where I am let alone what time it is. Did you get those at Fasttech ? I am hearing they are reputable. Search out reviews :<0)
Uhhh, I would ditch those batteries in favor of genuine LG/Samsung/Sony cells.
DJLsb had a purple efest start venting in a mod at 14a.

There is no such thing as a 40 amp 18650 battery, does that tell you anything about eFest batteries?????
resistance doesn't matter since it's regulated. i know DJLsb had one of those vent on him at 14 amps before. so to be safe i'd say it has to stay under 10 amps if you had to use them (which i don't recommend OP using them) which means as long as it's under 60 watts they will never pull more then 10 amps
I actually use efest batteries an they are Fine, weather they differ in the uk i dont know
They are fine until they aren't and the damage is done. A grenade is fine until the pin is pulled

Actually efest is notorious for over stating specs in some instances dangerously so. They re wrap actual manufacturers cells & frequently change the cell underneath their wrap with no concern of quality of the cell they use.
Best to avoid efest all together.

sorry skold... but that 30a is more likely to be a 10a c quality battery that is one puff away from going into thermal meltdown in that sweet sweet priv... lol. if there is one thing almost every single person on these forums agrees on... it's that efest batteries are not to be trusted and get sony/lg/samsung instead. it's basically the one thing we don't argue about... hehehehehehe
The new metallic purple efests I think were tested by Mooch to be true 20a cells...possible HG2 or some other 20a cell rewraps.
note the words possible... it can change... safer to go with a battery that isn't a rewrap, period... *gibbs slaps mongo for daring to argue*.
