Unregulated 26650 Series

Hey guys,
Doing a build and wanted to ask the experts. Planning my build for an unregulated box mod with dual 26650s ran in series. I was wondering if you guys would help put together the parts list. I have done a dual 18650 box mod in parallel so iam familiar with the parts for that but am unsure if i can use the same parts for a series mod ran in series with bigger batteries?
Can i use the same IRLB3034 Mosfet for the dual 26650 series box? I know the voltage increases so that was my main question.
Going to use copper wire for this build and was planning on using 16g all copper, but should i use a 14g all copper wire instead?
Any thoughts on this build? And suggestions and any parts or items you guys suggest will be greatly appreciated!

The IRLB3034 Mosfet is rated for 40V and 195A. You are good with that. I would go with the 14 gauge wire just because, but the 16 should be ok. It's harder to work with, but shouldn't be a problem for you. You'll need a bigger battery sled of course and a bigger box for the 26650's.

Just keep your coil build in the range of the CDR of your batteries. In a series the volts are double but the current stays at the rating of your batteries. I'm sure you know that, but for someone new reading this thread they may not...

Have fun, pics are expected when done!
