Haha well these are the things I need to learn, so are there any tube type mods that run two batteries? If not whatever but the batteries are one thing i don't really know about. This why I'm asking and researching. And what happens that makes that unsafe? Do they just run hot or what?

There have been "stacked" battery tube mods in the past, but generally they are rare, hard to get, and exspensive...I would get something like a copper nemesis made by Hcigar (it's got the lowest voltage drop of all my copper clone mods, it was even lower than my authentic black copper stingray,) for a first tube mech...they're cheap, easy to clean, and have the most features and bang for the buck...there are other companies that make them but out of the 6 nemesis clones I've had Hcigar made the best...like I said, with clone companies the quality of the clone is hit and miss...Hcigar makes an awesome copper Nemesis, but their brass Caravella I bought I thought was lacking in quality and felt cheap, you have to research your mod before you buy them. Anyways I am getting sidetracked.
If you want to build below .2 you're looking at getting a parallel type box mod with 2-4 batteries...it's still not really safe because if something goes wrong with the resistance that low you really don't have any time to react other than to chuck your mod and pray...but it's the safest you can get. You DO NOT have to build super super low to chuck clouds, that is a common misconception and it's one that really pisses me off...I can fog the room up with a .24 single parallel coil if i build it out of the right gauge wire with the right diameter and that is a build for flavor, the clouds are just a bonus...I can build for clouds too and blind the place with fog. Honestly...if you want to go the mech route we will get you educated and up and running safely but with mods like the Sigelei 150 or the IPV 3 I honestly think it's better to start out with one of those because it gives you more safety, and more options in your builds. With a mech you're limited to the raw output of your battery and have to build a couple with in certain perameters for it to work right...with a regulated mod you have the flexibility to build coils that could never work on a mech and just crack up the power and throw clouds with much higher resistances. Just my two cents on that.
When it comes to battery safety and mechs the importance of knowing it cannot be stressed enough. Basic understanding of ohm's law is also important and if you plan on using rebuildable gear and wrapping your own coils and ohms checker box or a good multimeter that goes two places out from the decimal is NOT an option...but a requirement. If you read a lot of my more recent posts I put the same links over and over in them for new vapors and I will include them here. Another member of the forum wrote an unofficial beginner's guide and I have two other threads I wrote long responses in addressing the basics of shopping for mods and attys, battery basics, building basics, and the importance of ohms law and safety. I also always link a website that is a ohm's law calculator and the steam engine coil building tool so you can see the theoretical results of a coil you would build and help you figure out how the build a coil and get the results you want out of it.
There are also many great youtube videos to help explain this stuff visually and there are keywords in the other posts you can search for on youtube to give you a visual aid to acompany what is written to help make it easier to understand. I know seems like a lot to learn and can be overwhelming but once you've got the basics and the important stuff it's really not hard at all...it's a lot of common sense. Any more questions I insist that you ask...even if I can't respond right away because I travel for work and don't always have my laptop and i have a dumb phone if I don't answer someone should...There are no stupid questions...only stupid reasons and excuses for not asking them. I hope this all helps and I wish you happy vaping and good luck on your search for a mod.
