7.4V to IGO-W?

[sentinefour]

Anyone got pics of 7.4v rba setups?

Just curious how many micro coil wraps would be needed to safely use two 18350 batteries in series (3.7+3.7) for 7.4 volts going to the IGO-W. Would one longer coil be better/ safer? I think I'll need 4+ ohms... I don't need a dual coil ran parallel. Also curious if a heavier ~24-26 AWG wire would be better

Why? I don't see how it could be any better than 3.7V at 1ish ohm... but you WOULD have huge coils, and LOTS of wick, which doesn't usually work too well in a dripper... I don't get it

I wouldn't do this on a mech.

Well, technically speaking, this can be safe as long as you do it right. Depending on what brand/type/rating your batteries are, you'll end up with some limit in how much current you can safely draw on them. For instance, say you have two AW 700 mAh 18350's, which IIRC are rated for 8C. This means you have a limit of 5.6 amps that you can put through the circuit. (7.4V)/(5.6A) ~ 1.3 ohms absolute MINIMUM you should run through the dripper. I'd recommend 2 ohms, minimum, just for some margin.

If that's what you want, then go for it. Although, I do agree with Mitey F, I don't really see the point. Just make sure you do your due diligence and stay safe.

Just thought I should add a sticking point some people miss: two batteries in series (which is what you're proposing) does NOT mean you can pull double the current! 2 in series = double voltage. 2 in parallel = double current (of the overall circuit).
