I have an istick pico 75w with an lg2 3000mah 18650. I'm looking into getting a tfv8 baby beast tank. I am wondering if my battery is safe to use with the .15 ohm coil up to 75w, or will it be pulling too many amps? i've done a couple ohm calculators onilne, but i just figured out those only apply to mech mods, not vw mods. How can i calculate the total amount of amps being pulled from the battery, based on the ohms of the coil? Thanks

The battery can't see the atomizer in a regulated mod. The chipset outputs the power on demand of the user.
Yes, a Mech is much different & i would never vape at that resistance..

That battery is a 20 amp battery and will be safe up to about 60 watts. You'll need a 25 amp battery and run times will be short.
You can download a ohms law calculator app on your phone. Or if you're at a computer just Google ohms law calculator. I'm glad you asked battery safety is very important. Even if you got a higher amp battery, running it at 75 watts you'll be swapping them out pretty quick. A dual 18650 mod with married batteries might be better suited. You can get a very good vape at 50 watts if you want to get into coil building and rta's or rda's. Vape safe!
Do you want 2 batteries in parallel or 2 batteries in series.
It's impossible to run 2 batteries in both parallel and series. You can do that with 4 batteries (Two 2 packs in parallel linked together in series) but with just 2 batteries it's either parallel or series.
There's a simpler answer:
With a regulated mod, check the specification of the range of that mod and you'll find your answer there.
With a regulated mod, it does the work, and as long as you have a good battery, you're fine.
For parallel mods, there's not many out there, there's the Eleaf TC100W (which I have and it's been a fantastic mod), or the Lost Vape Therion 75.

Have you seen the Noisey Crickit 2? Two battery series & parallel..
As the op talked about parallel and series and "&" could be interpreted as "both and" I thought it best to clarify.

Did the person I was responding to say "Series and Parallel" or did they say "Series Parallel"?
Do you understand the difference between the two terms? Series Parallel is a 4 or more battery configuration.
Parallel series is what the op said. Can you not read? Or do you have a problem with comprehension?
Op also said TWO 18650s..
Sorry to be dense but I am curious- if someone is using a regulated mod, does it really matter if the batteries or in series or parallel?
I've been using and ipv400 for like any/everything for a while and love it but I haven't got the slightest idea if the batteries are in series or whatnot.. thanks
You seem to be a bit too confrontational. Ease up.

With a regulated mod it doesn't really matter. With a mech mod it makes a huge difference.

It does to an extent, parallel mods, either reg or mech, have the same advantages and disadvantaged (just as in series does too).
Amp pull is not as harsh (as it's being distributed across the batteries), but less Volts. With a regulated mod, the power is controlled, and the batteries are separated, power is pulled in a controlled balanced approach from each... and why you can pull one battery out (or just put one in and the mod still works but at 75W max.
In series, the Amp is the same as a single battery, but more Voltage. The power is pulled from the two batteries, so the power from one goes through the other battery, should one fail, it could fry the other one too, so why it's really important to marry sets.
Basically, the safe output for batteries is different with a reg. mod as it uses pulse width modulation (PWM) that mech mods can't.
It's basically a case of, using two 20A 2500mah batteries (3.7V):
Parallel = 3.7V, 40A, 5000mah
Series = 7.4V, 20A, 2500mah
So the main difference is that in series, it's about the voltage being pulled, so power consumption is lowered that way, while with parallel, you're pulling from both batteries, so less impact on the the Amps per each. So basically, though battery life does come out fairly similar, the pull on the batteries is different, being much harsher with series, as proportioned to how much wattage you're using.
So series; more instant "kick" when you push the button, parallel; more balanced pull, but overall, it all depends on how you vape and the coils and wattage you need.
Examples:
(going with ohms as the priority, for single (20A), series(20A) and parallel (40A))
- 0.2 ohm (3.7 V) = 18.5 Amps at 69 Watts (single: still ok but close/parallel GOOD)
0.2 ohm (7.4 V) = 37 Amps at 274 Watts (Series BAD)
- 0.5 ohm (3.7 V) = 7.4 Amps at 27 Watts (single/parallel GOOD)
0.5 ohm (7.4 V) = 14.8 Amps at 110 Watts (Series GOOD)
- 1 ohm (3.7 V) = 3.7 Amps at 14 Watts (single/parallel GOOD)
- 1 ohm (7.4 V) = 7.4 Amps at 55 Watts (Series GOOD)
(going with battery capacity)
- A single 3.7V, 20A battery maxes out at a 0.18ohm at 74 Watts
- A dual parallel 3.7V, 40A maxes out at 0.09ohm at 148 Watts
- A dual series 7.4V, 20A battery maxes out at a 0.3ohm at 148 Watts
It also depends on the metal used and the gauge for the coil. (and why it's so important to use a calculator)
So yes, it does make a difference. As example: If you want to go with a coil that needs needs high wattage, you'd have to go with a series mod, and if you want to go low with your coil (ohms), you need to go with a parallel.
I prefer sticking to parallel for such reasons, plus the fact that I almost never go over 60W (did it maybe once or twice to test a particular build) anyways. (while my parallel mod goes up to 120W in parallel)

To the op, there are a ton of good dual battery mods out there. I have a kbox200 & x cuve 2. I really like both. The smok is huge so it's usually at home but I like the paddle fire on the side. The kanger does pretty much the same thing & is about as compact as a regulated dual battery can get. I have 75 & 90w single battery mods. I wouldn't use them below about .30. I have but the batteries don't last long.
