And what would happen to the batteries if the regulated device's limitations were exceeded, building too low for example ?. That is if the device allowed it (which i doubt).
If your resistance falls within the limitations of a regulated device you are fine. But as I demonstrated above, there is no connection between resistance and power with a regulated device.
We set our power to mitigate ramp up time (time it takes a coil to reach a desired temperature.). This is affected by the mass of the coil, not it’s resistance.
You can set a higher power, thus put more strain on the cell by drawing current above it’s recommended CDR. But you cannot exceed the limitations of the device – it would not function. And again, the resistance is not dictating the current draw from the batteries with a regulated device.
What we need to know:
What is the make and model of the device(s) you are using?
This includes the mod and any removable batteries. This may be an AIO be it a pod or something else (1 device) a kit (may be one device or two. Mod and atty), a mod and atty which are sold separately (2 devices. More if there are removable batteries)
I was answering a question from another member who asked how much power 2x LG HG2’s are able to handle.
Display should read something like, "Ohms too low", "Low atomizer", "Low ohms". A regulated mod won't fire as the protection circuitry has been activated.
So using two LG HG2 batteries the most your mod can put out is 120 watts. Each HG2 can put out 60 watts.
Even though your mod claims to put out 228 watts, its ability to do so depends upon the amp rating of the batteries used. The most your mod could put out would be 180 watts using two 30 amp batteries (90 watts X 2). There are no 18650 batteries that can put out more than 90 watts each, as there are no 18650 batteries with higher than 30 amps continuous discharge rate.

I bought this whole set up wanting only one thing. Flavor. My pod system and stick wasn’t giving it to me, so I’m not worried about clouds. I just wanted to know if running a low ohm build would hurt anything or if I needed to buy different batteries. And I’m pretty sure I probably won’t be running 100w+
Over on divorce forums they always advise to never apologize. I am not sure changing the locks are important here though....
That's what I was thinking, but if I may try to summarize, in an attempt to clarify, in a regulated mod, coil mass has much more to do with effective wattage.

You'll be fine. Your mod can safely fire the resistance of the coil you mentioned. You likely won't be going higher than 120 watts on the batteries, so the HG2's will be fine, also.
I suggest getting an extra pair of batteries in addition to what you already have. That way you can continue to vape should the first pair require charging. Keep the batteries paired up, or "married" so that they age equally and remain equal in performance.
Don't charge batteries in the mod, use a Li-ion charger. Don't charge batteries over night while you sleep.

That was my next buy before actually using this setup, do you recommend a specific brand or model? Probably a 2 bay just to save money.
I would suggest either an Efest LUC 2 bay or Xtar VP1. Affordable, reputable brand name, wide availability.

Hmm. Must have missed that. Sorry. Well assuming the HG2s are genuine (which has been a world wide problem as of late. HG2s are widely and well counterfeited) batteries aren’t going to be an issue. I don’t know anything about that particular mod myself. What matters is what board it is running. I’ve never heard of the manufacturer so it’s unlikely they make their own. I’ve got enough to look stuff up though now. Information incoming..
Ok looked at it. It appears to be widely sold but the company does NOT seem to want to talk about which board they are using. Their company website seems to imply it is their own with a picture, but personally I kinda doubt it. Someone else with more experience with individual boards might be able to tell from the screen size and other data. That’s not in my personal skill set though. It claims to have multiple protections though which is the pertinent thing. The above 200w thing is probably crap in that there exist no batteries currently that could safely power it at that level. @Punk In Drublic quoted 120w as being your practical maximum. That’s a lot though. I’ve never vapes above 100-110w myself and then only did it because of special circumstances. My personal normal wattage is more like 30-40w.
Don’t go over 120w and you should be golden.
