How do these perform? I love my LR306 on my Riva but I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Silver Bullet or an Omega. Just wondering is I can keep using my LR306 or if I should switch to a regular 306 or 510 atty.

Not an expert, but a LR atty on a 6v device would likely kill the atty.
Depending on the resistance of the atty @6v you could be getting up to 24 watts of power.
Watts = Volts^2 / Resistance
24 = 6^2 / 1.5
That would also be pulling 4 amps which would likely result in battery protection kicking in (hopefully). When I vape @ 6v I use atomizers with a resistance greater than 4 ohms.

No, you can't use an LR atty at 6v. You'll pop it pretty quick and probably burn your juice in the process even standard ohm is to low. They make HV 306 for HV vaping.
If 6v doesn't kill a LR 306, it will damn sure curl your hair and make vapor come out your ears!
The whole point of higher voltage is to be able to use higher resistance, and still get the same wattage at less amps.

What about a standard 2.5ohm 306 at 6v will that work ok?
My girlfriend bought some 2.5ohm 306's on accident. She's a Riva vaper. I just got my Silver Bullet and I'm about to pick up a couple sets of AW rcr123 3.0v LiFePO4 batteries for 6v vaping. I love the 306 and want to continue using it. Or should I switch to standard resistance or HV 510 atty's instead? What is the ohm rating of a HV atty? Someone here said they make HV 306's but I can't find them anywhere.

ikenvape.com sells a HV 306, it's 3.5 ohms you can find hv 510s and 306s other places as well. It's all about wattage which = heat, to much will kill a atty. I generally like to stay in the 7-8 watt rage, some prefer higher but if you go to much you'll risk burning the juice and/or popping the atty. You can play with some numbers at the link below. You might be able to get by with a standard resistance atty which are usually 2.5ish to 3ish ohms but it will produce a lot of heat and at the very least shorten the life of the atty. Be easy on the button, take short draws and let it cool in between. HV is the way to go at 6v.
