Mech mod question

A few days ago I got a Yep Hells Gate mod. The one with two 510 post. Online it says it can only go down to .10 ohm. Why is this? If it's a mech it should be able to fire his lowers my batteries will handle right? I don't have the dual RDA set up I'm only using one RDA. Will it drain both batteries at once or do they fire individually? Sorry if that's a lot of questions. I've looked on Google for a while now and not be able to find the answers.

1. If, you build a coil, for any device, that, the resistance of the coil is lower than the resistance of the Device, your device, becomes the coil and the coil becomes the resistance. In other words, the mod, would be getting hot when you fire, instead of the coil getting hot when you fire. You're creating a dead short, potential, if you use a coil, lower than .10 Ohm.

2. Battery safety. If you build a .1 Ohm coil, and fire a mech, with a battery at 4.2V, you are drawing 42 AMPs. There are many batteries that MAY claim to be 42 amp capable, but, the reality is, there are none that can achieve that in the 18650 range. 30 AMP pulse with SONY VCT 4s, that are authentic will work, at .14 Ohm, and that's really pushing the envelope of safety for the margins of errors. When you make a mistake in your calculations with this, or your battery is not quite as good as it's rating would indicate, you end up venting a battery, destroying your mod or worse.

I don't know the internals of the Hells Gate mod, so, I don't know for that question.

@TumTumVapes To answer your question, the mod is a parallel mod, meaning both batteries are being used, whether single or dual RDA.
On the other hand, you can also fire both RDAs off a single battery (although not recommended, make sure both resistances are high enough together not to short the battery).
The reason it says it has a low end of 0.1Ω is for safety reasons, as a 0.1Ω build at 4.2V is drawing 42A, which is around the threshold if you're using quality 30A cells (30A x 1.5 [parallel doesn't truly double amps, so we use 1.5 for safety) = 45A the batteries can handle safety.

Hope that answers all your questions!
