excellent, I'm glad you got a good one. That's what it's supposed to do.
No, perfectly correct. Parallel doubles amperage and holds voltage constant; series doubles voltage and holds amperage constant (and the watts stay the same either way on the same coil.) Note, if you will, when I offered my caution I specified a bad connection reducing the mod to one battery. If you were using VTC4s, instead of 25Rs, I wouldn't have said it. VTC4s will tolerate 23 amps
any time. FWIW, I never put anything in a mech but a VTC4 for exactly that reason. If you build to the battery's nominal 20A limit, it's a comforting feeling knowing you've got an "invisible" 10A safety margin built into the battery. Never know when you'll get a stuck button or a coil short or something; and safe is always better than sorry. Some batteries are better for a specific purpose than others. I use VTC4s in my mechs, but I just bought a dozen LG HG2s for my RX200s, and when I set my woman up with her little Sigelie, she got 25Rs.
lol, I looked it up when you first posted so I could give you the right answer. It's not my style, but it is reasonably priced and appears well constructed. Frankly, I don't see a lot of sense in multi-battery mechs unless you are a cloud competitor. Back in the day, mechs were the only way to top 15 watts, but this is no longer true. You can get more power and much better safety and battery life in a regulated mod. Don't get me wrong: I love mech mods and use them every day. But if cloud is where I want to be, I reach for my Snow Wolf or an RX200. Mechs are beautiful: the simplicity attracts me; they can exhibit much better efficiencies than a regulated (that's the I^2R losses I was talking about); and it's a challenge to build them well. My personal taste is different from yours. I lean to one battery tubes; and I'll pay extra for fine engraving and smooth magnetic switches and rhodium/copper contacts and screw adjustments rather than live springs, and so on. But love them as I do, I'm not blind to their limitations. Let's face it: you can get more cloud out of a .5 26/32 Clapton at 50 watts on a regulated than you can out of a .25 26ga slick coil at 70 watts on a mech because the surface area is greater and radiating hotter.
