Hi everyone. I recently picked up a Patriot rda and just built a dual coil with cotton and it's measuring .6ohms. I'm curious if my current batteries are safe to use. I have one IMR EFEST V1 18350 800mah then I have a ton of 18650 ICR 3000 mah batteries. The 18650 are LGABD11865 and the others are Sanyo I believe UR18650ZTA ALSO 3000mah. I'm pretty sure they're all rated at 6amp but could be wrong. What's safe to use in my Mech with .6 dual coil build? It fires nicely and doesn't get hot etc with the EFEST IMR v1 18350. I haven't tried with the 18650 ICR's yet.


Thought opinions?

thanks!

I am not 100% sure but i think that battery is rated at 8 amps max discharge rate. At 4.2v and .6 ohms your at 7 amps. I would be hesitant to use a 18350 when sub ohming. IMO. Also IMO I would not use any battery with fire in the name either. They have bad history of over stating their specs. Ultra Fire is the worst one.
