Welcome to ECF CC...
What matters is that the battery provides (more than) enough amperage for the coil resistance you build for your RBA. A typical VapeSafe fuse has a 7 amp limit. If you will be pushing at or beyond 7 amps, then it's useless.
Using this "big list O' links", scroll to the first, sixth and last paragraph/links to view:
To use these as a "set" - Determine your battery discharge amperage, then build a coil appropriate for your battery.
An example:
You have an AW 18350 battery. Discharge amperage is 6 amps. Confirm this with the ohms law calculator.
0.7Ω at 4.2 volts is 6 amps drain - which is right on the raged edge of safe resistance. You need either a higher drain battery or a higher resistance value. Use the coil build calculator to build a coil of the appropriate resistance with the wire size you have available.
New example - same conditions, new resistance:
Your "target resistance is 1.0Ω. You have 30ga Kanthal wire. You have a 1.5mm mandrel (drill bit), so your coil ID is 1.5mm or approximately 1/16". The calculator says that the wrap count should be 7/6. After building, you verify this with an ohm meter.
Now, you have a completely safe battery to resistance arrangement (4.2 amp drain) and... you can use your 7 amp VapeSafe fuse.
Do you understand what I'm getting at? If not, I (or others) will be happy to elaborate on the areas that you don't.
Cheers

i understand, I'm very familiar with amps, volts ext, Im actually an electrician haha. I'm just worried after reading into everything and hearing about coils loosing resistance or shorting and the possibility of the battery blowing up and taking part of my face. i hear everyone say to use the aw batteries when u start using rba's but they don't make the flat tops for my mod =\.
Short answer "no". Unless...... if you buy the extension tube for it. The fuse and battery will not fit in the standard smok e-pipe. The Smoktech pioneer comes with a fuse but is much heavier.
