dual coil on 7.4v kicks really hard.

This is fine for some devices... but that's 4.9 amps of current for a 1.5ohm dual carto! If your mod uses 14500s; you need AW IMR to even get close to that current draw. Also, make sure all the hardware in your mod is rated for the given current draw (Speaking to OP) The Wiring/The Switch

5 amps is a lot of current and a lot of mods can't handle it. Just be careful!

AW IMR 18350 3.7V 700 mah

Would these be the batts?

That's a regular IMR (high-drain) 18350.. still only 3.7v or 4.2 max charge like any Lithium Ion batt

If you want to vape at a higher voltage, you're going to need a mod that supports it. This can either be done with a boost regulator (single battery) or by combining two lithium ion batteries in what is called a series (Stacked, one battery on top of the other or wired that way). Batteries in this configuration add their voltages, so two 4.2v batteries will give you an output voltage of 8.4v, but their capacity does not add. It stays the same (So think of it as using a 'single' 900mAh 8.4v battery with 2x 14500 in series)

I don't know much about the Reo's. I have no idea what batteries they even use. If it uses 1x 14500, and it does NOT have a boost regulator (i don't think there's any Reo's with boost regulators, they are all mechanical), you're going to be stuck at 3.7v vaping (3.7-4.2 effectively). If it uses 1x 18650 battery it's the same thing, because it's still only ONE 3.7v battery.

If you want to vape at a higher voltage, you're going to need a mod that supports either stacking batteries (to achieve 8.4-7.4v) for a higher voltage, or a mod with a regulator be that variable (you can adjust the voltage to whatever you want) or a fixed 5v (voltage is a constant 5v)

If you're going to run a dual coil at 7.4v MAKE SURE to contact the mod maker and ask if the hardware inside the mod is all rated to handle 5 amps of current. If the right gauge of wiring/right hardware isn't used, it can burn up at this currant draw. Also make sure you are using AW IMR High-Drain batteries (I think AW Makes an 18650 LiCo cell that can handle this currant draw, too.. or at least 4.8A
