Been having an argument with a buddy about which one will get you bigger clouds. Just in general also which one is better

Parallel or series... Steady moddin box mod

In series you double your voltage but the amp ratings stay the same..So 2 18650 2500 20 amp batteries is now giving you 5000mah at 20 amps.
In parallel the amps are double..so its now 2500mah but with 40 amps..
Hope this helps.

That's kinda right...in parallel you split the load between to batteries evenly so if you have 2 2500 mah 20 amp batteries you now have 5000 mah and a 40 amp continuous drain limit but your voltage still max's out at 4.2
In a series configuration you double your voltage output but everything else stays the same so if you have 2 2500 mah 20 amp batteries the mah and the amp drain stays the same but your voltage is max'ed out at 8.4 volts.
The main advantage to running in a series mode is with the much higher voltage level to drive the load you have a much lower amp draw against the batteries so you can get much higher wattages out of higher resistance loads while pulling less amps.
The main advantage to parallel setups is the increased amp drain limit allows you to build much lower resistances safely because you have two or more batteries sharing the work load allowing them to safely run loads at lower resistances that a single battery couldn't handle on it's own.
