I'm getting 20 amps to my topper but 16 battery drain amps. I'm using Samsung 25r in a pic 75w .15 ohms. So should I lower it or am I good?

Either way would be ok for a 25R. 20A is going to your atomiser, but 16A is being drawn from the cell. As it is a 20A CDR battery you are all good
EDIT: I think I made a mistake here, I scanned the OP and replied. If it is a 25R in a pico, at 75W, it is over a 25R's CDR.

Thanks man I appreciate. I was kinda freaking out haha. Keep on vaping man
Hang on- I just realised if you are using 75W with a single 18650 it is overdrawing a 25R. I should of payed more attention to your post, I assumed it was using dual 18650's

I have it at 60 and it's pulling 16 amps. I'm looking to buy a smoant cylon at some point.
It is the pico yeah?
The on screen reading is what is going to the coil- not what is drawn from the battery. At 60W, you could be drawing around 21.6ish amps assuming a 3.1V cutoff.
This isn't too bad though with a 25R and how we use the batteries. It is best not to exceed CDR, but as it is regulated you will be fine untill you upgrade.

Yeah it's pretty sketchy. I'm going to change the .16 coil for a .4ohms. the only thing I like better on the herakels plus then the cleito exo is I could change coils whenever instead of dumping out the tank.
