People are as they've always been. There are just more of them. More importantly, yellow journalism. News doesn't matter anymore. Just shock value.

I am at once, shocked, appalled and saddened by the senseless shooting in Orlando.
I will never understand from where the level of misguided hatred comes.
I am standing with all in Orlando. And I will never hide.

You will be just fine, just make sure they are of the same age and try to keep them together afterwards. I know many people who USB charge with that mod with no problems. And if you do USB charge with it just make sure you leave them in their original position as it is not good when charging in series to swap them around.
If you remove to charge then it is not a worry what position they go back in. Other than that have fun lol.
One of the Aussie battery guru's also came back with this info that I thought would be of interest to other folks here

The Realeaux monitors each battery individually so it's pretty fool proof in that sense. No real need for matching.
It will charge and discharge according to the weakest battery in the pack, even of the state of charge of each battery is different.
It will charge until any one battery hits 4.2v then stop and discharge until any battery hits about 3v then stop. It's pretty good in that way.
I think the DNA chipped one might even balance the batteries.
Secondly, at 8 - 12 watts, you would be best off with the NCR18650GAs. You will get through more juice with them than any other battery.
It will only pull something like 1 amp per battery. But if you want the versatility of other mods, then the HG2s would be second best.

That is some good information. He is right about the DNA it does balance charge so you would keep the cells in the same position but it looks like the RX it does not matter really since it handles them individually.
Mine's not the DNA, but that's still lovely to know. I just pulled my first set from the RX200S to put them on the charger. Interestingly enough, one was just over 3.7V and the other two were closer to 3.6V when I put them in my charger
That is not a concern and it may never discharge cells at a even rate nor would it be expected too. Battery's will not marry unless you charge them in series. If you discharge them in a device and take them out and charge them in a charger it wipes the slate clean as nothing ever happened with them as a pair or set.Mine's not the DNA, but that's still lovely to know.

The device is fine and so are your cells.
If you watch this video it will explain allot of this.
Thanks, darlin'! I've just maintained a "healthy paranoia" about my batteries - and this is my first multi-battery mod (well, not counting the iStick Fiddy)
So, "marrying" isn't quite as rigid as I've expected? At least with this mod? Basically, they're all of the same "vintage" and they'll get charged and discharged together....
You called me darlin
Only if you charge them in series with a balance charger. If you take them out and put them in a bay charger basically they are doing their own thing. Its a good idea to keep them together since it is a triple though.
They raised quite the paranoia in about it all that is for sure. Just make sure like you have that they are the same age and keep em together if you can. If they discharge at slightly different voltage it is ok.
It say's on their website they are series Tuglyfe Unregulated Box Mod v2
The Craving Vapor Hexohm mech is in parallel if that is what you are after.
Now, someone remind me which needs to have paired batteries: series or parallel?
Why can I never remember this?
ETA: What I have is the mechanical version (in case that matters).

Keeping them paired will be a good idea. Parallel they run independent of each other. Series they run together to make 8.4v.
Can we see some pics? And how do you like it?
Here's a picture of it with my Tile attached (so I don't lose it). Not very pretty. I haven't bothered prettying it up because it's for around the house. But, it does the job just fine and lasts forever.
But in series they draw the max amps from the strongest battery, so a weak battery is a weak battery in either situation, that's why it's best to keep them all married up.
I should report this post!So you guys are saying it's OK if the batteries are just "going steady"?

Sorry I've been MIA, hadn't been feeling well then ended up in the hospital for a while. That was a fun visit, NOT!!! So now I know why I've been so sick and my back has been hurting me more lately, and I get to play with sobriety again, for the rest of my life it seems.

That's a good reason to invest in a charger that reads two digits to the right of the decimal point. I need to get a charger like that, too. My Efest Luc 4 reads to the tenth instead of hundreth of a volt. Every once in a while I'll charge a matched pair and see them start out at 3.6 and 3.7. I'm always curious to know if I'm looking at 3.69 and 3.71 or some way out of range figure. They usually read the same after a few minutes. I'm guessing that they broke over into something like 3.71 and 3.75.
I'll eventually get an Xtar.
Sawlight! Do what ya gotta do. We aren't through with you yet! Get thee well!
I have an Efest Luc 4-bay. I do get two decimals - I was just rounding because I couldn't remember the exact readings when I put the batteries on. Yeah, when you hit 4.1, is it 4.10 or 4.19?
