Well, I've recently made a DIY mod all from raw materials but the chip set, and the battery set I am currently using is a 4900mah 11.1V Li-po (54Wh) set. The maximum current output turns out to be 100 amps without overheating, as the short test has shown. However my very first try was 3 18650, as same as your mod, witch turns out to be having the same issue.
SO modify your mod and replace that 18650s with Li-po. 'Cause tuning the cut-off voltage down to 2.7v is actually killing your power supply.
