OK, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this on but better safe than sorry.

Squeezed a dual 2.5mm 24/32awg parallel staged build at 0.17ohm into my Goblin and it works really well but a 3-second lung hit and the stainless drip-tip is too hot to use.

Is that only to be expected when you put a big, low resistance build in a small RTA or have I done something wrong?

Also can someone double-check my maths and confirm that this build is safe margins for a parallel mechanical with purple Effest 18650 35a 2500s?.

0.17ohm @ 4.2v = 104W and 24.7amps. As the batteries are parallel 35amps pulse and 20amps continuous battery limits means 70amps pulse and 40amps continuous on those batteries?

Pretty sure it's all normal just being extra cautious going this low for the first time.
