Hi guys just have question of pros of cons with mech and unregulated box of what u guys think and prefer out of the 2 I got both but can't decide witch I like better and any difference . Kinda like mech better . Thanks guysb

Mechs like tube mods are nice for that small form factor. But since most of them hold 1 battery it means battery life will fly by. Many of them look really good too. Might have to adjust for battery rattle once in a while can be a pain if your in a hurry.
Unregulated box mods like the hex ohm are great for battery life because most of them hold 2 batteries. Some even 3 or 4. I believe a unregulated parallel box mod with 2 fully charged batteries puts out 4.2 volts of power, as well as doubles your continuous amp limit. 2 Samsung 25r's would be 40 amp limit on a unregulated parallel box mod. At least I'm pretty sure how that works, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

A mech has no electronics. It is unregulated.
It may be a tube or it may be a box.
An unregulated box is a mech in the shape of a box.
I prefer regulated. Sure, there is more to go wrong, but most high powered regulated devices will go higher than mech mods(unless they are dual parallel mech boxes). I like that the regulated has more protection features. Simple as that. I don't have to worry as much about building for the right voltage my batteries are at. I just set the wattage to whatever I want and go.
And to what lunar said, a parallel unregulated box will give you double the capacity and amp limit, but still at the same voltage(say you are using 2 VTC4s which are 3.7v nominal and have a 2100mah capacity and 30amp cdr, you would end up with 3.7v nominal with 4200mah capacity and a 60amp cdr). Series will give you double the voltage, but the same amp limit and capacity as the cells list(using those same batteries, you would have 7.4v nominal with 2100mah capacity and a 30amp cdr).

Thanks . I got a tug mech and tug box and honestly like the mech better I got 8 batteries always charged so batterie life don't really affect me just don't see benefits in the box why I'm asking to see if their is stuff I don't see that is a benefit in the box .
And what is series box . Witch is mine I got the tug box is it series or parallel
A dual parallel box is a two battery box mod with the batteries in a parallel electrical configuration. A series box has two (or more) batteries connected in series. With parallel, both battery positives are connected together and both negatives. This give you native battery voltage, but 2 x the amps of one battery. With series, one battery negative is connected to the other battery positive, with the + and - connections coming off the other sides of the batteries. This gives you double one battery's voltage, but the same amps as one battery.
So you have a tugboat tube mech and a tugboat box mech?
If they are both single battery mechs then you might not find much difference.
If you get a dual battery mech you will go longer between having to swap batts.
dual battery regulated mods usually use 2 batteries in series.
dual battery unregulated mods usually use 2 batteries in parallel.
look at the + and - positions.
if you put the batteries in the wrong way on a series connected box, you get nothing.
if you put the batteries in the wrong way on a parallel connected box, you get instant fry.

Quickly. Very quickly indeed...
parallel batteries increase the amps, not volts.. e.g. 4.2 V but 2X the amps that batteries deliver, series doubles the voltage but keeps the amps the same e.g. 8.4V at 20A ( if both batteries are equal at 20 A CDR)
it means 4 batteries are used I suppose... a dual set of parallel batteries ( 2 sets of 2) but then agian 24,000 batteries in paralell in a dual setup could equal 48,000 batteries....
Thanks. I wasn't 100% sure about the voltage for unregulated parallel boxes.
with batteries, if you have 2 batteries, that is dual batteries.
If the batteries are connected electrically in parallel, this is dual parallel.
This is when the two negatives are connected together and the 2 positives are connected together.
dual series batteries are like when you stack two batteries in a torchlight for example.
many modern torchlights you will put the two batteries in side by side, but one goes upside down compared to the other.
In these cases, the positive of one connects to the negative of the other.
The typical lead acid battery you see in cars consists of 6 2volt cells in series.
It is redundant and misused then.
You can't have a single parallel battery. Therefore, to have a parallel battery it MUST be two or more batteries.
To have dual parallel you would need two identical sets of batteries, with each set running in parallel.
That what it means if you're using the English language correctly.
