Lets break this down.
Hybrid mech... check.
Flavor atty check.
Not a 35 amp battery check.
Dead short check.

You are lucky to have a hand let alone a face running an unknown rewrap battery in a hybrid with a dead short.

So get some 24 ga at min. add a few wraps, get your resistance over .20 so your rewrapped value cell does not explode or vent.
For clouds you are seriously using the wrong atty.
And for the love of white socks get rid of the hybrid.

The battery is not 35 amp. someone lied to you. it is a 20 amp at best constant, 35 amp pulse and your rig is pushing it WELL beyond safety.
The deal is for clouds you have enough of a set up to blow your hand off.

The wire in 22 ga requires FAR more ramp up time for that set up than you are able to push.

If you want clouds, get a safer battery like a sony or samsung.
24 ga wire, and a velocity or phenotype or airek.

I sincerely doubt that the battery is anywhere near 35 amp continuous or even close to 3200 mAh.

Efest has a HORRIBLE reputation for re-wrapping subpar batteries with inflated ratings.

Find some Samsung 25R or LG H2 brown batteries.

I sometimes wonder if I should help or not firstly you are trying to run a build beyond the capabilities of the battery..
You really need to learn Ohm's law and apply it.. Getting huge clouds is not just about low build or amps..

The mech, i suggest anything other than a hybrid. Not a big fan of direct contact.
Anything with copper contacts and you are golden. I gave you the name of three cloud chasing atties.

For fucks sake... did a vape sell you only hybrid mods?
lack of vape education + shitty battery + hybrid mod = stupid should hurt.
Shitty batteries? Well at least they are not 18350 ICRs

Mech mod starters should memorize this mantra.
Sony, Samsung, LG, MNKE.

Not Sony, samsung, Lg, MNKE!!
Besides no 40amps in 18650... NONE.
Someone is trying to thin out the Joberg vaping crowd via Darwin like accidents.

Repeat
SONY, SAMSUNG, LG, MNKE.
If it is not one of those batteries it should not be put in your mech.

Better yet never go back ever...not even to get your money back.Because the person who sold you that stuff is either completely incompetent or secretly hates you and is actively trying to kill you.

I've seen 38A batteries but they're made by Efest so more than likely it's actually just a 20A.
While I don't mind using an Efest in a VV/VW mod I'd never use 1 in a mechanical mod or a TC mod ever.

Pulse rated and advertised is vastly difference than an actual.
Truth in packaging.

You've got some good gear there don't toss it.It's not meant to be used together especially with the battery you had but I wouldn't toss it.Using a mechanical mod can be a challenge at even the best of times.

They are not made by Efest since Efest don't make batteries, they buy the lowest grade cells that are left from each production by actual manufacturers (like LG, Samsung, etc..) and re-wrap them.

Yep I completely understand that which is part of why I wouldn't use Efest on a Mechanical or TC.Both my mechanical mods have VTC4's in them currently.

I honestly just thought that might be a typo...I doubt 0.08 would fire up and if it did it would only be long enough to go hiss boom probably.

Yep and I loved Efest batteries right until somebody made me aware of that practice.Now I know and I've let others know as well.

Hit the vendor up and get some stuff for testing instead of an overseas vendor proving you can vent batteries.

Tesiyi said they would send us some batteries to test, we will test them when they come in. That test video while interesting is not at all professional and I'm not sure I'd trust their results.

For now, the best batteries for very low builds are:
LG HB2
LG HB6
Sony VTC3
Sony VTC4

Be very careful of fake sony's, they're very common.
