What batteries do I need?

[jaybird]

does using 2- 3.6volts ,give the same voltage at the atty (under load)as do using 2 - 3.0volt batteries,i really dont want to use the glv above 5volts

3.6v is the right battery for the GLV not the 3v

Dang I may have bought the wrong batterys, will these work or not.

Yeah they will work i have a set myself.

So I finally got some Ultrafire Protected 16340 1000mAh 3.6 volt batts, and measuring the voltage at the atty connection shows as 8 volts (OK, 7.98 volts) This seems a bit high for a 5 volt mod? Any fix?

nope thats right you should get 8ish ...the atty will drop 1 1/2 volts ..ish and the resistor will do the same = 5-5.5v

Oh, cool then! I thought that the resistor would drop the voltage before it got to the atty connector. Thanks for the info!

No problem ..I did to when i first started learning about all of this stuff lol. You have to test it with an atty on to see what your really vaping at.

I have on hand 16340 3.0 volt 880 mah batteries and rcr123a 3.0v 750 mah lifepo4 batteries? Will either of these work? I know the 3.6 volt are recommended but hoping I don't have to order additional batteries.

I forgot to mention I will be mainly be using GLV for cartomizers KR8's.

Check the label on your 16340's. They should be 3.6V. Mine are and they are exactly what you need in the GLV.
