What's up guys. I just ordered the smok xcube 2 from China. Should be here in the next few days. Got a few questions for you.

First off, does anyone have personal experience with this thing? I've used mech mods for my whole vape experience and really wanted to get something new with at least 150w and TC. All the reviews I've read lead me to believe that this thing is amazing. Anyway, not sure what I can expect from the batteries with this thing. I only own Sammy 25r batteries and usually build my coils from .25 to .6. Is this thing wired in series or parallel?
This leads me to my next question, I have the Kangertech Subtank and am considering upgrading to the Smok TFV4 because of the triple and quad coil capabilities. The triple is at .2 which would really be pushing the limits of my batteries and I try not to push anything lower than .25 just to be safe. The quad coil comes in at .15 which definitely won't work with my batteries. Has anybody had experience with this tank, with the quad and triple coil setup I can't imagine it'll be any different than the dual clapton coils and quad coil builds I run in my RDAS right now, but it'll be more convenient and would let me leave the cargo jeans at home so I can use the tank on the go and drip at home. The subtank sucks, after a day the coils taste nasty and it's collecting dust on my shelf now because I'd rather drip on the go than take that thing anywhere.

So, my next question is, does the box being wired in parallel or series affect how low I can safely push these batteries. I know my amp limits, but I'm not sure if the wiring affects the amperage being thrown at the batteries.
This leads me to my last question, what batteries would you recommend for safely going down to .15 and still having some amp headroom. I've been looking at vtc5s on amazon, but I'm open to other suggestions as it seems most of them scream counterfeit.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing the responses. I consider myself well educated with vape gear but the only thing I don't have down perfect is series vs parallel and how they affect the batteries.

How's the flavor and vapor with that beast? Also, how long do the coils last before you get that ....ty burnt taste? With my subtank I'm lucky to get a day out of it before the cool tastes like pure ...... With how expensive these quad and triple coils are I'd hate to have to order them often. Hoping to get 5 days to a week on each coil.. Am I in a dream world? RIP claims he got 3 weeks from his first quad coil, but you can't believe everything some douche who gets paid to review stuff says... Lol

Thanks for the help bro. I'm still debating on buying the vtc5 just to be safe, but even those batteries aren't rated high enough for a .15 build. I've read a few posts claiming that resistance doesn't matter when using a regulated device. I'd like for someone to clarify this, I've seen it a few times on here and every time the poster says it came from a reputable, knowledgeable member of the forum.

It does depend on how high a wattage you'll be vaping at!

I've only used regulated devices but I've always kept them at around .25 ohms, which equaled roughly 50 watts... I'd assume I'll stick between 50 and 75 watts. . Might venture up into the low 100s on occasion to see how it vapes...hell if it's amazing I'll stay at 100! :evil:
