Unregulated and current draw

[Vapenstein]

So after over 4 years of unregulated vaping and 6 months of regulated, I am interested in adding an unregulated box to my rotation.

Here's my question, and I'm comfortable with ohms law and building.
How does running a two or three battery parallel affect current draw on the batteries? If my build demands 14a according to ohms law, does running dual or triple batteries split that load, or is the current draw the same on each battery? Maybe a dumb question, but all my prior unregulated devices were single 18650 tubes. Thanks!

Parallel batteries split the current load. In a perfect world, they would split it perfectly evenly, but there's no such thing as perfection, so don't try to pull 40A out of two parallel 20A batteries. 30-35A should be safe though.

As @Rossum mentioned the current would be roughly split between the cells. With a coil drawing 14A max you could use a pair of 3000mAh Samsung 30Q or LG HG2 batteries and be able to vape a long time between charges. Drawing roughly only 7A per battery means they would be running cool (which gives them longer life) and you would get almost the full rated mAh out of the batteries.

With three of either of those cells in parallel you would be vaping for a very long time between charges!
