3.7v or 6v Vaping?

I started out using mods at 3.7v and then tried 6v. I did the 6v thing for a while but it's more finicky to get good results. I went back to 3.7v, matched my atty resistance to the voltage to get the results I want and haven't had the desire to do the 6v thing again. I bought a VV boxmod and I'll use it to make use of the HV atty's I bought though.
At 6v try an atty rated at 3.5 ohms or higher. I like to vape at around 8 watts and use an Ohm's Law Calculator to figure out what voltage and atty resistance level to use to obtain my 8 watts.

I prefer 3.7V and a 2.0 or 1.8 LR atty. I've tried 6V but I have to be in the mood for it.

I agree... LR 2.0 or 1.8 is plenty low for a good 3.7 pv (btw, a "3.7 pv" is not true voltage... they mostly come in well under. i.e. an eGo type batt will be 3.1 to 3.4 true voltage...
Others will say you gotta go with a LR 1.5... it depends on how you like your vape; spicey or medium.. if you want mild, you go with 2.2 to 2.4 on the atty, and a little higher is allowable for a carto.
Most people are liking a 3.0 to 3.5 atty with about 4.+ up to 5.+ volts.
There are 4.5 Ohm HV attys too... for 6 volts..

I prefer the 5v-6v all day long but switch back and forth sometimes, if you go with HV make sure you get some Ikenvape HV-510 Attys or even the new HV-Cannon Atty, they make a huge difference and provide the best HV vape in my opinion, they are just a very smooth vape compared to some other Atty's I've used. Also get good quality Batts (AW) LiFePO4 3V X 2 these paired up with the Iken HV Atty are a win win
i love 5v on my passthrew, but im happy with being under 3.7 on my riva as long as i got a 1.5 ohm dual coil 
my kr8's are 3.7 and they're alright but just don't cut it for me and they're minis so dont want to get into lr stuff and kill my back ups

that's cool... i mean hot... jk...
I meant for anything over 4.0 or so, like the 4.8's that Value Vapor sells, you need a 6volt... or higher

Of course, I wouldn't give you a strait answer..... 5 volts for me. 6 too hot. 3.x too low.
5.0 v 3.0 ohms. 8.333 watts.
Sorry...lol. I will not be distracted by strange/insufficient voltage! Although... if pressed... and all the 5 volt regulators vanished off the planet.... 3.7 volts and 2.5 or 2.0 ohm atties will do until I start my own 5 v regulator manufacturing company and restore the world to it's proper ways.
Remember tho... it's watts that count.. if you vape at six volts you use HR atties. Compute the watts, then you have a number to debate... V*V/R

3.7 volts is too low and 6 volt is too high. Many have found the "sweet spot" to be 4.5 to 5 volts. Variable volts devices with regulated boost circuit technology is the optimum set up IMO. You get the best out of any atty or carto regardless of the resistence.
totally agree about the regulated boost variable power set up... the only way to go imo...
but 6 volts may not be too high depending on the resistance... the right resistance paired with 6 volt won't get any better no matter what; regulated variable beats that though because you will get the "right" setup in a wider range of atty's.

It all depends on you Batt and Atty set up in my opinion, 4.6 with a reg ohm Atty is also a nice sweet vape spot, but like I said if you have just the right set up 5v & 6v can be very nice
thanks for your specs there. i like having guidelines.. you do the figuring.
I get lost at Watts.
Question: doesn't it depend on the type of atty though?
I mean with my favorite DSE 901 attys "regular" ... 2.8 Ohm, it is sweet at anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 true voltage (on a regulated boost variable power pv).
While a 2.2 Ohm 510 is similar good at same voltage. (the Ohms are lower but power the same).
Don't some attys react differently in that sense?

Yes. I think that the wattage is a general ball-park rule of thumb. Specifics are specifics. Even different 510's (joye, SLB, etc) are different to some degree. That is why the vv stuff is a good point. However, my general point is that 5 v has enough "oomph" and isn't too hot (of course this varies based on ohms... hence the watts). 5 volt regulators are easy to come by and inexpensive. I have to concede the vv point tho.
I was talking conceptually (and hypothetically).... any and all 5 v voltage regulators. That's one example (and it can be screwed onto a mod) others are built-in.
