My sentiments exactly, I have numerous box mods capable of all sorts of power from 30W max to 200w Max....I currently use as my favorite mods the Eleaf 50 @ 35W with a Smok VaorChaser running a shop standard 0.6ohm and my partner wants to trow me out of the room when I start vaping as the clouds are humongous....I aslso use the Xpro 80 again no higher than 35 W and with a Meganus tank from Vapeston I do not need any more power for cloud or taste. Also the SMY 180 God Mod which I rarely now use I have yet to go over the 40W power. Yes I do mess with RBA's but to date have not needed the extra power......Indeed I bought the higher power box mods for battery longevity as I got tired of replacing batteries in single battery mods. I once tried to push the SMY to 100W with a rebuild but hated the taste and heat factor. Drippers with large coils and heaps of wicking may be different but in all honesty I do not dig the drippers as I am a person on the go all the time and a refilled tank is more my scene.
I see... I plan on doing some crazy coil builds like claptons but it requires alot of juice and "juice" lol

You are going to be fine. The six wrap build I told you about is going to be around .21 ohm. This will draw 20 amp at 4.2 volts, but its not even going to be at the full 4.2 volts since that load will cause a drop in the voltage (regardless of the mod). So, you would be safe with even a single 20A 18650 battery. But you have two in parallel.... making it possible to do a 40 amp draw with two 20 amp batteries. If they are 30 amp batteries, you are looking at 60 amp possible, because each battery sees half the load.
But even this .21 build is going to light up fast and make good vapor. Make sure your coils are right in front of the airflow holes (which should be open). With the airflow on the RDAs that you have, you could even drop the resistance lower and still have a very comfortable vape. And still be safe battery-wise as long as you have two high-drain batteries in your dual parallel mod. I just gave you a good starting point.
Theres no better way to learn it that to just do it and make it work. Make sure you check your resistance after setting up your coils.

Alright thanks! After I get it and build on it ill put up some photos!

Start with two 24g coils, 6 wrap. 5 wrap would work too, but start with the 6. Around 2mm. If you can't pull off a 2mm, maybe 2.5 at the most. Don't make them bigger than that though.

Wow ,it's getting pretty close to those youtube videos that people were having fun with..
Almost to the 400watt one..
Wonder if we will actually reach Pbusardo's 4000watt legal vape..
lol
there are already some monstrosities out there capable of 3kw, they're pwm boxes and use several batteries in a series/parallel configuration so you can build super low and also get the higher voltage from the battery packs being in series.
