18350s in parallel

[Dagger]

Hi guys.

Am thinking of making a small mod for my missus, the enclosure is quite small and won't easily fit an 18650. I'm making it from stuff I have here so don't want to go buying lipo packs or anything, I can just about squeeze a pair of 18350s in side by side, would it be ok to run them in parallel to make up for small capacity?

Its safer to run them in parallel because you will double the amp discharge rating too so you can build lower ohm coils.

Well it's for me missus so unless she really surprises me it'll just be mini protanks at 1.5ish ohms at around 10w

Just thinking about battery life really, 2 in parallel will be better than one

Would you have room for a pair of 14500s?

These are fine cells.

And it would be a lot easier to find a 2 X AA enclosure/holder for them over 18350s.
