    For those getting into stacked series mechs, remember things are calculated differently.

    This is a helpful guide to keep in mind when deciding on your build. Decks that allow you to build a series coil help in keeping the resistance in a decent range and hit like a steam machine. Of course a properly built single coil can also be a major heavy hitter as well. Just make sure your atty of choice has decent airflow so things don’t get too toasty.

    what abt those insane foot long stuff i've seen on the street here? i think there's six cells in there!

    A four battery stacked mod/walking cane can give you 16.8V, but still only 20-30A depending on the battery chosen.

    Could also use it as a stun gun if clubbing someone is not an option.

    Oh, those figures are based on the draw on a 20A battery. With a 30A battery you can build a bit lower, matching the battery to the amp draw expected. But still, in series even. 30A battery can get maxed out pretty easily.
    This is a respost of mine from another site where somebody was asking about why anybody would want a stacked tube.
    ==========================

    A stack gives you double the voltage (but the same amperage) as a single and allows you to send some serious power to your coils safely. Even though you still have the same available current as a single, the additional voltage lets you pull less of it for the same wattage.

    So for instance I can say, put a .3 build on one and get roughly 190 or 200 watts while still only pulling 26 or 27 amps from the batteries.

    Why would anybody want to do that? Well, if you enjoy a "warmer" vape, this is a great way to get one. You can also build higher of course and bring that heat down as you please.

    My Vaporz Could XXX has a .3 build on it and with a pair of 2070C or 20S it is an absolute monster.

    It's perfectly understandable why many folks wouldn't want that and it's certainly not the only thing I vape, but it is fantastic when looking to REALLY fill your lungs up.

    maybe you should start turning off the wifi when you go to bed? hide the router?

    You have no idea how right you are. I’ve spent LOTS of money after midnight especially on expensive stabwood mods. I think I sleep shop!

    I would turn off the WiFi but my roommate might not like it since she’s always streaming something. It is a good idea though.

    Great information. I know I will never be using a stacked mod ever. Sounds too dangerous for my addled brain.

    It's not any more dangerous than parallel in my opinion, but it IS hot and dense. :) And, actually between some sag in the batteries and drop in the hardware it's more like 180 watts or so for that build and setup.

    From an era somewhat earlier, but when we was too poor for good stuff, we had a Gumby green ‘60 Chevy Biscayne, a ‘68 Rambler NASH, and a curb-found fridge. That may be where my matchy habit started.
    Middle daughter has a 1999 (she was 5 when it rolled off the assembly line) pea green chevy Lumina that she refuses to replace, despite the fact she’s the only one who sees any value in it. She loves the “Green Hornet”. It looks like a giant green freighter flying down the street.

    You're a madman :evil:

    (I know you're only exaggerating. Your wire would probably melt :D )
    I would never EVER do that. Maybe I should put "In theory"
    I run the same coils on my HOG as I do in my stacked a series mods. Those are good enough.

    Yep. You would build para-series the same as series. With a WHOOOOLE lotta extra capacity (over straight series) while barely pushing the batteries :D

    Good evening shiny people --- haven't been participating much of late, but trying to follow along when I can. Nothing new here, just trying to relax with my armageddon and some North African Mint tea (from David's Tea) ...

    me i doubt i'll ever mech. danger. yes. and i don't understand the point honestly, sure, if i get exposed more to it as a cool thing with pretty mods and very basic control i could be tempted, but for the vape quality itself; it'll keep changing right? as the battery discharges until the power total isn't right or the battery empties. probably starts a bit too high as well. is there something i'm missing abt the vape?

    NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAight!

    I used to feel the same way. I only tried a mech because, with the bans coming, they ought to last with so little that can go wrong with them.

    I started with a Luna, because it’s protected. But I still had to learn how to build for it, how to calculate, how to use it safely. If I did anything wrong, it would blink and alert me. I feel quite comfortable with them now, although there is still a lot I need to learn.

    That’s what I love about the folks on this forum. They never make me feel like an idiot when I ask a question, no matter how pedestrian it might be. I probably don’t need a stack, I may never seriously use them, but I do want to know how to just the same.

    I'm one who uses coilers, including the top part to spin the wire. I find them convenient.

    I have a CM set, I believe v3. My stock coil is typically 2.5mm ID, though I'll do 2mm or 3 mm depending on the particular application.

    I recently picked up some Kuro Koiler sets from ft. Each has a fixed post; I got them in 2, 2.5, and 3mm diameter, in different colors. To me they're even more convenient than the CM set, no futzing around swapping spindles.
