I don't care what your calling b.s on. Its a series box mod. with 7.4v and a .21 ohm build is 260w. My wattage decreses as my batteries die but with fully charged batteries it IS at 260w.

Actually, with fully charged batteries you're looking at 8.4V, which would be more like 336W. Surely you know that a fully charged battery puts out 4.2V, not 3.7V right?

That also means you're pushing 40A through your batteries, and if they're 18650 batteries then you are far beyond anything you could consider safe. Even with the voltage dropped to 3.7V per battery or 7.4V in total you're still drawing more than 35A which is unsafe with any 18650 battery out there.

    I can only say what I consider "safe". But, since others often quote me, I would guess that my personal "safe rule" is valid.
    I try to never exceed 50% of a batteries CDR. So with a 20a battery that would be 10 amps.
    I NEVER stack batteries in an unregulated device, and a simple mosfet ckt in a box mod only protects the switch ... not the batteries.

    Now don't get me wrong, I do like & use mechanical mods. There are three of them sitting in front of me ATM.
    However, all three of the RBAs on them would work just fine on a V1 Provari (2.5a limiter)

    AND, if you're thinking "what a wimpy vape", guess again. (same atty on a V1 Provari)

    No one really vapes at 250 watts, except that professional Chinese vaper and dirty dish rag guy, and I think he may have blown up as I don't think he's been making vids for a while...
    I was trying to find that vid of him and the dish rag the other day, cause I like to watch it every once in a while for a laugh, or to show new cloud chasers dangerous behavior, but he took the video down from You Tube...

    ...I was a sad panda when I saw that.

    He may have been vaporized...
