Here's an excellent post in the GLV Forum about consisttent output regardless of the type and ohm rating of atties. Very nicely done, 6pointprime!

You can use virtually any atomizer you want on a GLV2 with the 5v endcap - including 1.5 ohm atomizers including the Cisco variety.
Believe it or not the GLV2 varies the voltage output - automatically.
Just in case you missed my show last night you can catch the replay by clicking the link below. Here's the deal: the GLV2 can use ANY atomizer without any modifications. I have tested the following atomizers:
1.5 ohm Cisco 510 and 306
2.0 ohm Cisco 510
2.7 ohm Boge/Liquid Xpress carto
3.3 ohm V4L coolcart
1.5 ohm 801 (non-Cisco)
1.8 ohm 901 (non-Cisco)
All of these atomizers on the GLV2 clock in between 10 and 11.5 watts. The GLV2 will adjust - without any changes or settings by the user - to produce a good voltage for the atomizer being used.
This was NOT intended when Great Lakes Vapor was designing the GLV2. But it works, and it works great.
For example, when using the GLV2 with the Liquid Xpress 2.7 ohm atomizer the GLV2 puts out 5.3 volts under load.
With a 3.3 ohm V4L coolcart the GLV2 puts out 5.6 volts under load.
If you put a Cisco 1.5 ohm atty on the GLV2 it puts out 4.0 volts under load.
I demonstrate this during my show - this particular segment starts at around the 20 minute mark.
This is safe, and it will not pop your atty....please note that this will NOT work with other 5v regulated mods....they WILL pop a 1.5 atty or produce a vape that is not pleasant at all. On a GLV2 you get a great vape.
So if you own a GLV2 (with the standard "5v" endcap) - you have yourself a swiss army knife. Enjoy using it with LR atties - it rocks!

I uploaded a youtube video that shows how I tested several atomizers under load with the GLV2. The data is included in the description on the youtube video.
