Now those are the questions that i have no answer to. I know your trying to help me. Then what do you think i should buy ?
That's understandable. This is all new, and you haven't had time to research and learn about these things. And yes, I am trying to help you stay safe.

Go with a regulated mod. If you can afford a DNA30 mod, that will be just as good as a mechanical, yet safer. If not, get a common regulated mod and research/save up for a mechanical mod for when you are ready for one.

so i just go for a ipv one ? but then again i dont like that back panel. seems annoying to open the back panel. 50 watts is what i need.

If you think opening a back panel is annoying, you're gonna love owning a mechanical mod. Have fun sanding down contacts and applying noalax to the threads regularly. Regular fiddly upkeep is required for a metal battery tube (i.e., a mech mod) to keep it from doing the things Baditude alluded to.

In addition, if you ever want to alter your vape experience, you will need to rebuild your coils instead of just pushing some buttons on the IPv2.

Trust me, you're making the right choice going regulated if it can push 50+ watts. You're not going to regret it. Throw in an extra (cheaper!) mod just for backup, if you're worried about no being able to get something else any time soon. Spend wisely.

At least two batteries. The batteries need to have at least 12 amp continuous discharge rate.

how many batteries tho

I vape at around 30 watts on a mechanical mod all the time. It depends on how much you vape. I typically use around 6 ML of juice a day and about 1 1/2 batteries a day. I swap out batteries at around 3.7V, but with a regulated mod you can take the voltage down to around 3.3V so you'll get a bit more run time from a battery.

I have four batteries in my rotation and a 2 bay Xtar charger and that works well for me. I suggest you can probably get by just fine with three batteries, but if something goes wrong with one you will have only two left and that would be a bit too tight for me. I suggest four batteries is a good starting point for you.
