Do 2 batteries increase Amperage?

Samsung 25Rs would also work.

One of our very helpful members, Mooch, had made a chart of recommended batteries. It shows the CDRs of all the batteries he recommends:

Mooch's Recommended Batteries | E-Cigarette Forum

To figure out what CDR you need to vape at a given wattage on a regulated mod, the formula is:

Minimum CDR = Wattage ÷ number of batteries ÷ 3.2 ÷ 0.9

That formula's also from Mooch, who explains it here (and @untar linked to it earlier):

Calculating battery current draw for a regulated mod | E-Cigarette Forum

So for 65 watts on a two battery mod, you need batteries with at least a 12 amp CDR. Your Samsung 30Qs, at 15 amps, are probably fine. A 20 A battery, like the 25R, might be better. Batteries deteriorate with use and with age so it's best to give yourself a fair bit of breathing room. Your batteries will tend to last a lot longer if you do.

Explained me a lot! Thanks! :)

The Samsung 30Q or the LG HG2, and don't exceed 120 watts. The mod is not a factor in this, and neither is the coil resistance. Did you read the article untar linked to?
Read the whole thing and came up with these numbers:
Max Amps Per Battery = (Max Wattage Per Battery / Minimum Voltage Per Battery) / 0.9.
Max Amps Per Battery = 40W (40W * 2 = 80W) / 2.9V (Discharge End Voltage) / 0.9 = 15.33A
So that basically means if I put the mod to the reccomended 80W for the V8 Baby-T8 Core, it will exceed 40W
Per battery and will stay in the battery's recommended 15A amperage. Did I get that right?

80W/(2*2.8)/0.9 = 15.87A

Slightly over CDR and getting worse as the batteries age. Like I said you should get some higher CDR batteries so you don't ride on the edge.
You can vape like that but don't expect awesome battery life.
Thanks dude! Made me the whole thing clear! :D Sadly Latvian forums are not so helpful as e-cig forum is.

There are a lot of smart folks here that are more than willing to help. We don't always agree with one another, but we can debate respectfully with the best of them. ;)
