1:
Can you add a parallel battery sled and run two 18650 in parallel; yes it will work;

2:
without any problems?
Errrr... well you have to be carefull never to put the batteries in the wrong way Ever or you get instant short.

Is it a home made unregulated mod?

Check the modding forum, and see what others have built; most times people use mosfets to handle the high current.

It's a regulated mod but I wanted to make a new door for the battery compartment to accept two 18650s in parallel. It already has all the protections for reverse and such. I just figured in parallel it's the same voltage. I know that new istick has two parallel and is able to also run on one so I figured I could do the same with my mod.

Yes it's the same voltage.
Lithium batteries should be treated with respect so if you plan on modding a box, best do it properly.
If using 2 batteries they should be used as a married pair that stay together.
