Series or Parallel

[Bobw1951]

I just want to know if I've got this right, was watching the Billet Box video earlier and it looked like when he inserts the batteries in it they are in series:

+===-
-===+

Am I correct or are they in parallel ??

They are wired in series Bob and regulated from 4 to 5.5 volts using the dial on the inside. Great mod - I own three and use the heck out of them.

Thanks, thought it was series, got my first one 2nd hand the other day, love it, the tip I already had from FT and matches it well:

Batteries don't last very long though

Looks good, nice drip tip match. Did it come with the S-120 J-Wrap on it or did you put it on?
I don't use wraps, just have to use aluminum (aluminium) polish on them when they start getting scratched up.

Are you using the AW ICR 123 750 mah black w/ red stripe protected batteries (recommended)?
From here: AW icr 123 16340 protected battery

I get about eight hours each set using a 3ohm Boge cartomizer @ 5.2 volts and carry a spare set with me at all times. I have 6 sets of batteries in rotation for my 3 boxes.

Two of the triplets, third is a piebald.

Yes it's a Rev.3 and it came with the wrap already on it and a spare clear one, about 20 slotted standard Boge cartos, 3 tanks, spare o-rings, a billet bridge and some Aspire heads, which I am using at the moment, and 4 AW ICR 123 protected batteries, all that cost me about the same as what a brand new one would have cost me to ship from that side of the pond to this inc. import taxes

I also have 4 genuine AW IMR 16340s as well, the Aspires are only 2.1 Ohm so that was probably eating up more power, I've also reduced the Voltage down from 4.5 to 4 now as well and it's lasting a lot longer.

Mine probably looks like those as well, as it is not the piebald, he sold that to someone else
