Hey guys i have just started to work in my first mod. It will be parallel 26650, i will be using a fatdaddyvapes 510 connection, and the mutation x rda by indulgence. I am wondering what button i should use. i found a few that are 5 amp will this button hold up? Also wondering what gauge wire i should use. I got 18 gauge already i thing this will be good. Thanks guys!

Welcome....I think you should post a few more general , hi I'm new messages and go to the modding section of the forum. There is plenty knowledge to be had and many interesting posts.
Tbh if you need to ask this question, you might also want to read up on electric circuits, components, etc and safely operating them.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!
Wander over to the Modding Forum. Also check out all the "stickies".

The amp rating of your switch and wire gauge will depend on how many apms you are planning on drawing, how low a resistance coil you use. If you plan on sub ohm coils, a higher rated switch would be a good investment. Switches with lower ratings might work for a while, but the internal arcing will quickly render them useless, and you're changing switches constantly. The highest gauge wire you can fit, use, solder in place securely is also a good idea, the thinner the wire the greater the voltage drop and the more it will heat up.
The mod is going to take any 510 threaded topper, right? not just the mutation x.
2 batteries in parallel would double the available power.
It would double the available amps.
And also get pretty close to doubling your vape time between charges, assuming the same resistance.

a lot of people prefer the 28 gauge wire. maybe it is thick and easy to make the re-coil.
I read that thread and i have a question on calculating watts to figure out what fuse i need with my batteries. I looked up how to calculate watts and it google said to multiply amps and volts to get watts. so my question is would i multiply watts by continous amprage or pulse amprage? Pulse right? Because thats youre batteries peak and a fuse should blow when you're pushing the batterie beyond its peak. Thanks guys all of you helping me out have been very helpful and knowledgeable.

Ive gotta be doing somthing wrong. I am trying to calculate watts of the mnke 26650 20 amp continuous and 60 amp pulse and i am multiplying 4.2 by 120 because i will be doing a paralell battery set up which would double amps right?
Figure you're max current using 4.2 volts for a full battery charge, and use the battery max continuous amperage. The peak amps specification is NOT set by any industry standards, each company get to make up their own numbers. The pule is somthing the battery should survive before a protection circuit kicks in. Important for an electrical engineer designing a battery powered widget, not as much for vaping.

Parallel will not double the voltage, it is the average of the two batteries...
How to Wire Batteries in Series (or in Parallel) : Wiring two batteries in parallel
and...
"Unlike wiring batteries in series when batteries are wired in parallel the voltage does not increase, the output voltage is the average voltage of all batteries in the circuit. For example if a 3V and a 9V battery were wired in parallel the output voltage would be 6V ( 9+3 divided by 2 ) however the current will be total amperage of all batteries in the circuit (minus any losses)."
You would have the total amperage of the batteries...
