Yep but go up slowly so you don't burn you wick.

Looks good too!

On you next build try to center you r coils in the center of the deck, it looks like the cutout for the airflow is center and try and bring your coils a little closer to the edge of the deck without creating a short. That will give the the ability to add a little more cotton, better airflow across your coils. And after all that better vapor and flavor.

And I', not criticizing your build Ron, it looks great. Just a couple tips.

That looks awesome.

Re: your battery(ies), I tend to err on the side of caution and figure whatever the rating is, go about 1/2, and then try not to draw more than 80% of that. So, if you push about 14A, you can set the mod to about 65W. I don't know if the Sig150 is Series or Parallel. I think if parallel, then you can push harder because the load is being distributed across both batteries.
