Very basic electrical wiring question

[boondongle]

So I'm looking to power two atomizers at the same time for my next mod. I'm thinking that I need to wire the atomizers in parallel, but I'm wondering if that will be enough voltage to drive both of them. So, my questions would be:

1. Will two atomizers in parallel work with one 3.7v battery?
2. If not, would putting two 3.7v batteries in series work?
3. If one battery would work, would putting two 3.7v batteries in parallel fix any operating time issues?
4. What other concerns are there with this sort of setup?

You MUST put the attys in parallel.

If you put them in series each will get half of the voltage (assuming their resistances are the same).

Additional notes:

With the two attys in parallel you can assume that your vaping time will be cut in half.

To recover the vaping time, run two batteries in parallel, and the two attys in parallel. In essence, that is the same as running one battery per atty.

Or, you can run the two attys in series and the two batteries in series. Same effect and close to the same results.

1. Yes
2. NO - too high a voltage
3. Yes but isn't it easier to use a bigger battery?
Atties can vary in resistance so I don't think 2 in series is a good idea. For instance my 510 atties vary from 2.1 to 2.47 ohms.

Two attys in parallel will essentially give you 1/2 the resistance of one. That means that the current (amps) would be double. So if one atty. draws one amp, then two in parallel will draw 2 amps with the same voltage. That would basically drain the battery twice as fast. Two batteries in parallel would make the power last longer.

Awesome, thank you all. It sounds like two batteries, and two atomizers (both in parallel) is the way to go. Ralph, the reason I don't want to go with a bigger battery is that I'm trying to keep it in a 3xAA box.

i have a question. could you not just build a connector say like a TV splitter and have it screw on to the single and go to duel?
