Can I use a Lr atty on a 5 volt box mod? Or is it too strong and will burn it up quick?

what attys would you recommend I just placed a order for one and haven't bought any atties yet because I dont know? Regular atties?
Regular Joye 510s, ~2.3 ohms, work very well at 5V. You do need to keep them wet though to get long life out of them at 5V.
You can get 10 of them for around $46 at Vapor Kings.
1.5 ohm atty at 5v pulls over 3 amps. Some protected batteries won't even work at that current draw.
I just use standard atties when I'm vaping at 5V. Using LR is just asking to lose an atty, burn your lips or both.
This. Also, FYI. A "regular/standard" 510 atty is 2.8 - 3.1 Ω, not 2.3. I use 3.0 Ω atties too at 5 v.
Use V * V / R to get watts. You probably want about 7 or 8 watts for any given setup. YMMV.
So, if you use 8 watts as a target, and re-work the equation, it's Voltage squared divided by your target watts.
Thus: 5 * 5 / 8 watts = 3.1 ohms. See? Now you just need to know your personal ohm target. 7 or 8 is usually in the ballpark.
A 2.0 ohm LR atty at 5 volts is (using V * V / R) 25/2.0 = 12.5 watts. Yeow! Too Hot. 1.5 ohm even worse!
Summary:
V² / Ω = watts
V² / watts = Ω

FYI, they are branded with the VK logo just like in the picture but I think the logo looks pretty cool so I don't mind at all.
Thanks, I was on my iphone and it was hard navigating and looking for it.
