    Default Parallel wiring?

    If I am making a mod with 2 batteries in parallel, without lights, or on/off switch, or any of that fancy stuff, do I need a resister/capacitor thingy? Anything else I should know (besides the fact that I should be careful because I don't know what I'm doing)?

    The resistor is only to light a led and so you don't burn it. No led no resistor. Just connect a heavy duty switch to either the pos or the neg to the atty. Use protected batteries and at least a 3amp push button switch.

    Simple - if you don't know what you're doing then don't do it.

    You can purchase a DIY mod kit very cheaply that will contain the protection circuitry that is required to vape safely and still have a blast putting it together.

    Done the DIY kits, time to move on, learn more, grasp and develop, the final frontier and all that.

    I wired in parallel last night and viola! 6 volts.
    I guess you need a regulator to bring it down, no biggy, I love 6 volts!
    So much to learn!

    EDITED to remove silly question.

    At series or parallel batt`s connection don`t forget about protection. Or use protected batts, or make protection or buy protection PCB, or use protected and make extra protection . In parallel if you have one of batt 3.8V and one 3.7V for example, that 3.7V will charge from 3.8V.
