Can somebody explain to me what parallel soldering is? And give me an example im kinda new to modding. Thanks

Terribly sorry for my drawing but it's sorta hard to see the parallel soldering in my NDSL at this moment. I'll prepare a picture for you later tonight when I rework my circuitry.

This is what a parallel circuit looks like on paper. The blue things are of course the wires.
Parallel circuits are another type of circuit which has even voltage through all of its components. You use this circuit if you have more then 1 LED in your circuit.
Just incase you were curious, the image below is a photo of a SERIES circuit.

Thanks, but can somebody explain it?

I get 90% of it because IndyChav, thanks bro

It's not really that difficult...
I believe with parallel, each point recieves the same voltage, and if one is removed, the others are not affected. but in a series circuit, all points rely on the one before it, and as the voltage travels down the circuit, the total voltage decreases, and if one is rmeoved, they all fail..
So like, in a trigger mod using two leds, if you use a series circuit, one led would be brighter than the other..
It's been awhile since I learned circuits, but I am pretty sure that is at least close to correct >.> someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah barsh that all sounds correct to me =]
