Hey guys, so my friend built me a box mod and gave it to me, I was wondering, because the pair of batteries of I have now one falls below 3v, before the other one hits 4v.. it charges to 4.2, I was wondering if I could use one sony vc4, and a LG 18650.. would that work or harm it in anyway??

Bad idea. They should be a matched pair, bought together, always kept together and charged together. Mark them 1 and 2 and alternate their position in the mod each time they are freshly charged and reinstalled. If there is that much difference either the batteries or the mod have an issue.

I agree with the guys above...is the box wired for series or parallel? if it's wired for parallel either a battery is failing or there is a bad connection somewhere because the draw is uneven...and if it's wired for series the problem could be that much more severe...I would get a fresh pair of batteries for that mod, actually I would get two fresh pairs so you always have a charged set and I would have your friend look over his work ASAP to make sure he doesn't have a bad connection or a short somewhere before the problem becomes worse than a battery being drained unevenly...I would also rotate battery positions every charge so the batteries are being drained as evenly as humanly (or batteryly?) as possible
