what is the main diffrences at vapeing higher or lower voltage's and i saw a tank mod on youtube that goes outside a atty and driptip and was clear also i think it held 5ml or 3ml of liquid at a time their was also a chrome one. i think the atty had holes cut into the bottom of this if anyone knows what these are called or any info about them that would be great to know im thinking about trying one. i cant rember where i saw them tho sadly

the tank was most likely a cartomizer tank. Heres a few:
Cartomater at nhaler
Liquinator from forgot where
DCT map tank from mostangryindustries.com
Jonboyusmc lava tank

Higher voltage can bring out some flavors and also get more vapor with a shorter toot. Usually higher voltage devices are associated with longer lasting batteries but its not related. It actually uses more battery but have bigger ones lol

Heat enhances nicotine's hit and may vaporize more liquid at once for bigger drags. Heat is a factor of how low the ohms (resistance) of the atomizer or cartomizer is vs the voltage of the battery, Slim ecigs are limited as to how low ohms they can use because their electronics are not built to deal with faster draw of current from the battery (low ohms draws current faster and creates more heat and uses battery charge faster)

So a 3.2v battery with a 2.8ohm atomizer will make less heat than a 3.7v battery with the same atomizer and that will makes less heat than a 5v battery mod with the same atomizer (and the 5v mod might pop the atty)

A 3.7v battery with a 3 ohm atty will make less heat than the same battery with a 2.4 ohm atty and if it's a big 450mh+ battery like a fat model or mod, it could use a 2.0 ohm atty for more heat or 1.7 for more (and some people will go lower than that)

But in general, slim ecigs should stick to 2.5 to 3 ohms attys and cartos

Re what is the difference of creating the same heat with a low resistance atty on 3.7v vs a higher ohm atty on a 5v mod? Some say it is only a slight difference. But if you want the big heat you need big batteries or mods so you can use attys and cartos that are low resistance relative to the voltage they are used on.

In slim ecigs, the highest voltage is 3.7v which is KR808D-1 and some of its cartos are around 2.5 ohms and can get hot on the lips (I use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece)

Most popular tank mods do not use an atty.

Some carto tanks and juice feeding attachments are mixed in the mods here

Vaping at higher voltages is more of something for an advanced user if you ask me. Only because you really have to learn about diff ohm attys and cartos and what is good for the voltage you want to vape at. The tanks are indeed cartomizer tanks and they are sold by tons of Vendors.

You have:

Liquinator from Vaporescence.com
DCT MAP tank from Mostangryindustries.com or Cloudsofvapor.com
J-Tank from Electronicstix.com
JonboyUSMC Lava Tank only sold here on ECF
Depth Charge from Vapor-Age.com

Im sure theres more out there but these are the most popular. The Depth Charge is being produced now and is actually being posted on his website tonight.

With better and more powerful batteries you will get warmer vapor which better simulates the "inhaled feel" of smoking, plain and simple. And if the device has "regulated boost circuit" technology which some of the better battery devices do, such as the variable volt Darwin, then you will also get much better consistency.

Plus with a good 5 volt or variable volt PV, you can use any atty or carto and not have the limitations of the small battery models not to mention the longer time on a charge.

There is a reason why so many vets use 5 volt and variable volt PV's = better performance.
