You can only double voltage or mah....not both. Parallel= same voltage, double Mah. Series (stacked is series)= same mah, double voltage....

I have 2 4800mah batteries in here, the mah is absolutely doubled. The power drain per second is doubled too so I effectively have the same battery life of a similar-powered (somewhere around 140-150 watt?) 4.2 volt vape, but the actual capacity is without a doubt twice as much as one battery.
Both parallel and series configurations double the maH, and both types of boxes will drain batteries the exact same (with each box built to pull the same watts as each other)
EDIT: let me know if Im wrong, maybe thats not how milliamp-hours works, but I do know for a fact that *watt per watt*, I do have double the run time of a single battery

That's just not correct....here's a link to illustrate further

It's one or the other, think of it this way... Say you have a build that pulls 10 amps at 4.2 volts, in parallel, since vintage is kept the same, the mod is pulling half of the needed amperage (5 amps) from each battery, doubling your life. In series, it's doubling voltage, pulling the full amperage (10 amps) from each battery, so mah is not doubled, it's kept the same
50 watt with lemo 2. Out of all my mods, tanks, rtas and rdas, this is by far my favorite set up
Bought a skin due to the slippery nature of the IPV mini! It helps quite a bit from potential disasters of encountering hard surfaces.
Hey brother, is that an SVT-VR head on your 8X10 cab? I have the EXACT same rig for my Rickenbacker 4001!!! IT IS BOSS.

Oh how I wish it's an 8x10! It's only a SVT Micro VR and a SVT2x10AV! Maybe when I'm able to convince the wife in the future, I'll be able to get some monster rig like yours!
No shame in your game brother! I've heard those little Micro VRs are pretty awesome in their own right! I have't heard one myself but I think you've got a very VERY respectable rig! And at least yours is MOBILE! Moving my crap is a total hassle. Keep rockin'!
Hahaha I heard lots of stories/complains with people carrying 4x10, imagine an 8x10! I imagine while jamming away you whip out your vape and take a puff!
Is it correlating maH to amp capacity? Is that how maH works
And 10 amps at 8.4v is twice as powerful as as 10 amps at 4.2v, of course it'll drain twice as fast.
I think it's just me not understanding maH, I thought it was directly correlated to the power output but it seems more based on the amperage output, so maybe it's something else here, but I do know that a 2-battery 100w parallel box build will last exactly as long as a 2-battery 100w series box build
Mah is milliamp hours... Not to be confused with max continuous discharge rate (C rating).
Using the exact same batteries, same build, the batteries will last twice as long in parallel (there will be variation based on factors like chip efficiency, so I'm describing this from a mechanical perspective for simplicity). It becomes more tricky in a regulated box where you are down stepping voltage (my variant can go all day on an 800 mah li-po, same tank, same wattage would give me about 3 hours on an 18650 2500 mah).
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

As for the amps.... In parallel, that 10 amps is split between the two batteries...5 amps a piece, hence the double the "mah"
That same build on the series is now drawing 20 amps....10 from each... Double the voltage, so battery life would be the same as one battery on that build. Hope that's more clear
Well as soon as you fire a series mod for the first time it should become apparent that youre not gonna need the same build you have on your mech (or your lungs learn the hard way). A .3 build on a series box might last just as long as if it were on a one-battery mod, but on a series box .3 is pulling over 200 watts on fresh batteries. Its the same battery life no matter if its series or parallel, but if youre using the same build on both (which you normally wouldnt) then the series box is draining twice as fast
Im just saying its not fair to say "its the same battery life as a mech mod using the same build" when youre normally never using the same coils on both mods anyways, when "the same build" usually means the series box is pulling 100+ more watts than the parallel box
I use the same build example to illustrate the point. The point is that battery life is not the same for parallel as it is for series.....yes, a particular build may net you the same run time, but that isn't increasing your mah. This was the error I was trying to address. The initial post I commented on stated stacking batteries doubling voltage and mah... That's not how it works.... One or the other
I'm aware the mech mod wasn't a great example, just trying to simplify the mah vs voltage thing
