In box mod is it bad to mixed batteries for example having a vtc4, and a vtc3 in a box mod together??

Alright thanks bro helped me from having a box mod to a hand grenadeyes, it is like pissing in the wind, crossing the streams etc.
Get a new pair and marry them... problem solved, problem staying solved less chance of a handful of pain.
It becomes a really likely a mismatched set will fail and fail hard and fast.Alright thanks bro helped me from having a box mod to a hand grenade
Depends on if you are talking about regulated, parallel mech or series mech... Only thing you'd really be okay running a mismatch set in is a series build but still no one would suggest it. Buy sets/run sets/retire sets together. If you are chasing in a mech go with 20Rs and buy a metric shit ton of them. Otherwise just grab sets of 25Rs
Honestly if you have 2 batterys that are the same age and mah it won't csuse any problems. Mixing vtc 4s and 5s is a recipie for disaster
+1actually it can be a problem...even if the batteries are the same type and age...if the batteries haven't been run in a married pair in the box mod already.
Batteries that have been run as a single battery by themselves, especially in mechs, have developed a life and personality of their own and age at the own rate...just like people...just because you've got a pair of batteries that you've had for the same amount of time and used about the same doesn't make them equal...
they could have different internal resistance levels from stress and ware and if you start running them together, especially in series it can stress one more than the other more rapidly only leading to problems down the road. The only sure thing is to start off with a fresh married pair and only use them together in the mod they're meant for till the bitter end.
When you have mis-matched batteries, or batteries with different Mah and internal resistance ratings, one battery will "vampire" the other battery to keep the voltage discharge up, this creates all kinds of problems, including killing off your batteries prematurely and in the case of a mech box, possibly stressing them to the point of failure.True... I'm just wanted to let people know that reg devices need pairs too. I've had customers come in to the shop after someone told them that in a regulated device they can use non paired. Only to open their device with a VCT4 and 5 and the 4 @ 2.4 volts and the 5 at 3.6... Not good

Wow. Didn't know that.It becomes a really likely a mismatched set will fail and fail hard and fast.
While it MIGHT not detonate a handful of lithium ion bubbling at several hundred degrees is also not good.
Just a protip... if you ever have a Lithium Ion battery go gnarly and acid spitting DO NOT put water on it.. it will go from acid to FIRE.
