Parallel - good for complex multi-core fancy builds that are inherently very low resistance where a large amp pool is required.
Series - good for large higher resistance coils and super fast ramp up times.

Series is more efficient because you are not dealing with the issues associated with very high current levels.

I appreciate that info. I mainly use the "fancy" builds (aliens, staggered fused claptons). I plan on building one. Once I get that done and see how hard/easy it is I plan on building another in the other configuration.

If you were using a series mech at .15 your lucky to have a face to be honest. Your batts are probably damaged at this point as well.

I may not be the sharpest room in the shed but I am sharp enough to know that's not kosher. I build about .3 on that. On my regulated devices I run it about .15-.2.

That's good to know. You scared me a bit lol. .3 is pushing a bit too. It'd say .34 for series mechs. I build mine around. 5-.6 for a vape I like

And the .34 is with vtc5a batts

You can find his videos for building unregulated (parallel or series) and regulated(DNA) if you choose.

So I looked at his YouTube channel and it seems all he builds are regulated box mods and mods with PWM. No just strictly unregulated/no electronics mods.

Lol no worries.

What kind of builds are you doing to get the resistance?

Also, in my tube mod I'm running the LG HB6's.

Hb6 are great. 30 amp batts can build low but battery life is short.

I do mostly fancy wire builds in mine.

That's for my tfv8 rba I put on my pwm mod

That's a .6 for my vcp (series mech)

I did a .4 for my series mech but it was hotter then I like personally

I prefer parallel. that way I can switch between my parallel box and single tubes without rebuilding. (don't normally build very low)

that being said, sometimes I love to throw a huge build onto my series mod and make my wife mad. lol. dual 12 wrap 24 AWG kanthal with a 3 mm ID should come out to .5-.6 ohms.

if you're gonna do both, go for parallel first...more "versatility" imo.

but you gotta show us pictures when you're done!

I like a hard hitting, warm to hot vape with dense clouds and good flavor. That's why I thought Series would be good for me. I did research on cells a while back and I had read numerous times that the hardest hitting cell what the HB6 so I got a few of them to run in my AV tube mech. In my RX300 wight now I have a dual alien wrapped 7 times over a 4mm coming in at .19 running it at 220W. I could go higher in wattage if I wanted.

What kind of tank you you have on there in the last pic? I'm liking the looks of that. Not much of a tank person since I like wide open air flow (running the Mason with airflow wide open). I like it airy. Had the TFV8 and waiting on the TFV12 to come in the mail and hope it's not too restricted. The TFV8 was too restrictive so I got rid of it to a friend who was just getting into vaping.
Thanks for the info Anthony! I know I do want to build a series and then a parallel mech so I can have one of each but I have a feeling there is going to be a few of these box mod builds in my future!
