Are you using it in parallel or series mode? Either way with a 0.5 ohm load and those decent batteries you should be good to go. Don't worry about feeling it's a noob question. It's a very important question that most noobs don't ask, then they wonder why things went South. Enjoy!

Best way to learn is go play with Ohms law on Steam Engine. You can enter your resistance and known voltage and see for yourself how it all interacts. It's easy with a single battery mech. In a multi-battery mech, parallel will double the amps but voltage remains the same. In series, the voltage doubles, but the amps remain the same. Here's a nice graphic about it. But understanding how it all gets calculated out is always best. That way you can double check yourself and any unintended bad advice you might hear.

i'm trying to get a job at a vape shop and i want to be able to keep customers safe and answer their questions

You'll never get a good job in a reputable vape shop with that attitude! Just sell em the most expensive sub-ohm mod and tank on the shelf....

oh i will but if someone comes in with an unregulated question i don't want to be the reason they blow their face off. this industry is having a hard time publicity wise as is. i don't want to add to it

@blake charz

volts x volts / resistance = wattage
volts / resistance = amps


In (series) regulated variable voltage mode -
If you max the NC2 out with a constant set 6 volts on a 0.5 ohm coil
~ 72 watts and 12 amps

In series unregulated mode -
As there are two batteries in series, the combined voltage is 8.4 volts
~ 141 watts and 17 amps

In parallel unregulated mode -
In parallel mode you will only realize 4.2 volts, but with a much larger usable amp pool of 50 amps with the HD2 as it has a 25 amp CDR. So to get comparable power levels you need a much lower resistance coil.
~ 35 watts and 8.4 amps (split over the two cells)

So you are well under budget with any of those configurations with that resistance coil and those batteries. You could even use a 20 amp cell like the Samsung 30Q or LG HG2 and get 3000 mAh rather that 2000 mAh

You can also use steam-engine to do your working out

@sonicbomb , just to clarify, what you have under parallel is series and the reverse for series. Both are accurate but it might be clearer to a reader if reversed as parallel under parallel.

And to the OP, remember, all these calculations are being done on fully charged batteries. Once you start vaping them down, the voltage will drop. that's one reason why some folks will calculate at a battery's nominal voltage of 3.7V

Just remember its perfectly okay to say "I dont know" to a customer's question, rather than parroting information you don't really understand.

Just be honest and you'll be head and shoulders above most vape store employees.

If you spin it counter clockwise it takes you back in time.[emoji2]

Sorry, already tried and did not happen. [emoji23]

But works great to learn ohms law and to calculate wattage

An also has great looks
