6v too much... Now what?

**Bogalu** · 01-20-2010, 07:20 PM

I burn through attys too often with my chuck at 6v. So I've been sticking to 3.7v. Its not bad but I miss the high voltage days. So heres my idea...

I love my chuck, it was pricey and well made so I'm keeping it.
With that being the case... is there an adapter I can buy or make to throttle my 6v down to 5?

buy hv atomizers from nhaler. They'll drop the voltage down to 5volts.

True but the only problem with that is that it drops the voltage down too much. The ohms are soo much higher in the HV attys that they don't allow much more than 4v from a 6v batt config. So with that being the case I might as well just stick with 3.7v.

I also don't want to buy 7.4v batts, I've spent enough on batts already... (I own 8 cr123's and 2 cr123 chargers and 2 18650's and a 18650 charger) all in all I've spent I believe $120 or so on batts and thats enough. I'm talking more along the lines of a real cheap easy mod I can make to drop the voltage of my batts down to 5v so they wont go through my attys as fast. Like the adapter they have for the GLV and Xhaler.

Wrong. He now sells attys at 4.5ohms which drop the voltage down to 5 volts. I have a Chuck and Prodigy V2 and when I have the HV atty on my chuck it vapes like my V2 which is a 5 volt pv.

Only problem is I have about 15 brand new joye 510 attys and I really want to use them. It'll be a waste of money if I don't.

I just ordered one of those 4.5ohm 801's myself along with some HV juice. Not because I was burning out attys but a lot of the juice I have taste burnt at 6v. I'm actually having good luck with standard 801 attys. Burnt out one in the beginning but it was very old and used. The one I'm using now has been on there a week and still kicking.

I'm really trying not to fork out anymore money for attys or batts though. Thats where an adapter will come into play to get me down to 5v. So thats the main thing I'm looking for. Does a chuck adapter exist or if not does anyone know how to make one?

Sell them on here and use the money to buy some hv ones. If you keep them wet almost to the point of flooding them you won't burn them up. I use standard ones when I want 6 volt vaping with TV atomic fireball and haven't lost one yet. With most liquids I've tried at 6 volts I get that burnt taste so I use hv atty's with them.

No it doesn't exist.
