Question about regulated parallel and series.

[lopenator]

Hey everyone. I got a noisy cricket2 coming in the mail and was wondering what the point of an unregulated series would be if I have a regulated parallel box mod that can go over the direct output of the unregulated series? Are there anyway benefits from using this unregulated series? I know the battery life is cut in half and my amps stay around 20 in series. What do you think? I'm also aware that noisy cricket has regulated series. What's the benefit of having vv in series rather than in parallel?

Aside from the obvious features like regulated mods have safety features. I'm talking about benefits in vaping experience, not features.

1 parallel,
1series, regulated,
1 series, unregulated,,

Like 3 mods in one box, each of the above would support a different build.
With VV, you are back in Ohmland..

 

[lopenator]

Yeah I suppose the only benefit is it's like 3 mods in one. Maybe I was just hoping that there were other benefits.

Price,, look around at VV potentiometer mods in series, 150usd.

Don't sub ohm in unregulated Series. Now a large clapton@ 1.3 Ohms, niche vaping!
It's the exploration, be well versed in Ohms law, Married batteries,,
Again, unregulated series will provide up to 8.4 volts, to be treated with respect..

 

[lopenator]

Yeah I know. I'm not exploring in uncharted territory here. I stick to mech mods, but mostly only parallel. I'm trying to switch it up alil. Just trying to understand some benefits, but I guess people just do it cause they want too and that's that lol.

 

[daviedog]

Nothing wrong with that,,

What do you prefer vv series or vv parallel, and why?

 

[Buckeyevapen]

Series doubles voltage. Parallel doubles mah. Is my basic understanding of batteries in series vs parallel.

Correct me my understanding is incorrect.

you can get them way cheaper. i paid under 130 total for a dovpo M, Hexohm 3.0 clone, tesla invader 3, and ijoy zenith,
all are regulated VV mods and all were under 45 bucks. hell the dovpo and zenith were under 30.

Half right
Series doubles voltage
Parallel gives you 50-60% more amp limit then series (as a safe value)
Both give you the same battery life

battery life is calculated in KW/H not MAH (formula is nominal voltage*mah/1000=Kw/h)
so series (assuming samsung 30q battery which is 20 amps 3000mah)
7.4 volts * 3000mah / 1000 = 22.2kw/h 20 amp limit

Parallel
3.7 volts * 6000mah / 1000 = 22.2kw/h 30 amp limit

Thank you for the clarification.

Yeah but if you use vv then what's the point of series anyway? It doesn't even matter.

Vv uses like watt mods a buck system. But vv does it through a potentiometer or pot for short. They have voltage ranges usually from around 3-6.5 without being in series they wouldn't be able to hit that high. They would be at like a 3-4 range at best and wouldn't be able to maintain it

Oh okay. That makes sense. But couldn't a vw hit that high? Regardless of series of parallel? Like the sigelei 150

Sigelie 150 is series. Parallel mods have the same limit as single battery mods

So a vw/vv parallel can't hit those volts?

Thanks for explaining that to me.

With boost circuits, yes. But boost circuits are somewhat less efficient than Buck circuits.

I'm planning to buy an ijoy Zenith mod which runs on 3 18650s. Since this mod has a knob to adjust the voltage for up to 6ish volts. Does that mean that it's a series mod? And if so. Should I calculate my resistance the same way that i do with my unregulated single 18650 mod? (Sorry I'm new to vaping so)
