It says 40A on my batteriesImho anything over 12g is gratuitous. People talk about low impedance etc.. but the actual numbers are ridiculously small.
As to the batteries I strongly suggest you read Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum
Your 40amp statement implies you are sorely misinformed about batteries.
Okay, what I wired 2 18650s that are both 20A, would 14 be the optimal choice? I’m not planning on a mosfet or anything, just batteries to button to 510. Or should I go 12G to be safe?Are you just throwing this mod together out of your head? If not, what do the plans for this mod suggest?
16 to 14 gauge is the normal recommended gauge wire for internal wiring of a mod.
Now, if you're talking about the coils.. Nah.. try 24 or 26
Imren 18650 3200mAh 40A IMR Vape Battery - 18650 Battery Store These are the batteries I have, I have 20 A 18650s as well, which might be what I iseThere are no 40amp 18650s.
Read a little bit online, it’s a 40A pulse discharge and 15A Continous so I’m right but I’m also wrongImho anything over 12g is gratuitous. People talk about low impedance etc.. but the actual numbers are ridiculously small.

If done properly and proper precautions are used i will be fine. I just need some help to decide what gauge wire would work best.Actually, if you want to be safe, just stop!

Yes. It’s lying to you. Again, read Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum rewrap battery amp inflation is very common.It says 40A on my batteries
I got the idea from a person I follow on IG, she does them and I was looking at the wiring and didn’t see a mosfet, I can always double check it but I’m pretty sure there wasn’t oneNo mosfet? I'm starting to worry about what switch you are using too?
There is no switch rated above 10A that is smaller than a shoe box.....
What will be the total length of the wiring? How much current will you push through that wiring? How much voltage drop will you consider to be acceptable? Look up the resistance per foot of the wiring gauges you are considering and calculate the voltage drop each one will produce over the length of wire you will have.If done properly and proper precautions are used i will be fine.

Yeppers. The switch tends to be the weak point in a mech mod. And it's worse in a series mod because the arc that inevitably forms when you open the switch will stretch considerably further before it extinguishes at 8.4V than at 4.2V. This gives it more time to burn/pit the contacts.No mosfet? I'm starting to worry about what switch you are using too?
