I'm guessing that your coils are 3mm 24AWG Kanthal?

If so, then yeah - you're good to go - I'd start at low wattages first, then work up to taste.

Your coils will give a medium-warm heat flux of 166 mW/mm² @ 60W.

Use Steam Engine - Coil wrapping to calculate your coil qualities before you build them, if you don't already - and learn the meaning of 'heat flux' - what it is, what it does and what affects it .

Hello everyone! I just got the avocado 24 today But I want to make sure I have a safe build before I use it. I have the cuboid 150W with 2 INR18650 25R green battery's. I have dual coils with 9 wraps each. It came out to have a .4-.42 resistance & plan on running it on 60Watts.

Unlike mech mods that use the formula Volts/Resistance (Ohms)= amps

The Cuboid uses this formula (Watts/Lowest Battery Voltage/Mod Efficiency=Amps)
Being the batteries are in series, the voltage is double, but the mah and amps are the same of a single battery
60watts/6.4v (3.2v per battery)=9.375/90% (mod efficiency)=10.4167amps

All ohms on a regulated mod figure is if the mod chipset will fire that low or not.

Yes I did use kanthal. 24 awg. Thank you for giving me peace of mind.

    As I understand (@Mooch ) parallel or series battery configurations only affect the voltage and mAh in a mechanical device, not a regulated.

    The input to the regulator, the battery voltage and current, still obeys the same rules as that same configuration would in a mech. What the regulator does with it, of course, is something else completely.
