It's a regulated mod but you should still use good batteries and stay safe. It is capable of 300 watts. Regulated mods don't calculate amp draw from the batteries like unregulated do. I made a video explaining the difference here
battery life is going to be the same in series an parallel. the chip can make a difference (more efficient chip means better battery life) but battery life is in kw/hr
I know on paper it's a given..
it's the same in a sense. in series the batteries act as 1 cell of 7.4 volts (nominal at full charge 8.4 volts) in parallel they act as separate cells sharing the load. in both cases the load will never be shared equally, one will always drain different no matter what (which is why balanced charging is so important) as far as the therion goes it depends on the cutoff of the mod. the therion you can change the cut off. 2.5 is the dead minimum. many people set theirs between 2.8 and 3.2 personally i set mine at 3. you can also add in the battery capacity (in kw/h) for your battery profile. in the case of the TC100 you can't. it's whatever eleaf programmed into the firmware. the DNA chip reads it live so when you take a puff the meter will drop and then when your done it'll rise back up to it's charge level. when you drop a load on the batteries the voltage drops as well (voltage sag) the eleaf won't record that or show that. also which therion are you using? if it's the 75 version then yeah the DNA75 chip isn't that good. it's the DNA200 and DNA250 that are really good.
gotcha, in that case the DNA75 chip (which is the one in the therion 75) is known for poor battery life due to it's low efficiency. it wouldn't surprise me of the TC100w has better battery life.
What i find funny is that I can't find anything about any other DNA boards that can do parallel.. you'd think that DNA boards being so "advanced" that it would be a case of a selection when building a mod to switch between either and hence adjust the parameters, but it appears that it's only the 75 that does it, and even then, limited to the Lost Vape Therion mods.
depends on the chip. the dna75 and lower (60,40,30 etc) can all be wired parallel. it's up to the mod makers to decide how to configure it. You could build your own DNA75 if you wanted with 4 batteries in parallel. the only thing the chip really cares about is input voltage. the DNA200/250 are set up for input voltages of dual or triple batts (or lipos) but with dual batts the max wattage drops. It's possible they could configure the chip with different batt set ups. i'm not 100% sure how flexible the DNA is but i know it's pretty flexible. you can take a DNA250 chip and wire it for 6 batteries if you wanted. 2 sets of 3 running in parallel and it'll work. me and some friends are working on a custom FSK mod and i've had talks with hohmtech and as long as the input voltage doesn't change you can wire in any battery type or combo of batts, one of their employees made a quad battery mod (series parallel) out of the FSK chip with a custom enclosure. the one we are working on is a dual 26650 flask FSK mod.
Psss ... you were right, two parallel batteries does double the mah (milli-amp hours, a general measure of battery capacity battery manufacturers use) over a single battery. And for a more accurate measurement of battery capacity Watt-hours or kWh (1000 Watt-hours) is used, not kW/h. And two batteries in series have the same mah as two batteries in parallel. The difference in battery life depends on what voltage and coil resistance, or power, you vape at. Two batteries in series provides twice the voltage as two in parallel as you stated.
That would be correct. My mistake. I'm so used to using KW for everything cause my job lol. Well kw or kva.
