5V. or 6V. What's More Universal?

[mOJAVEpROVIDENCE]

I'm looking to either get a 5v or 6v device. With the array of high resistance atomizers and cartomizers out there, will i have more options using a 5v device? i hear that's the "sweet spot", but i am a heavy vapor and it seems as if i could "always use a little more punch" in my vaping experience, so i wonder if 5v will be the end of the line for me in my quest for brutal vape.

i love the idea of HV vaping with drip style cartomizers, v4l coolcarts i hear are the way to go, if i go 5v instead of 6v, is my cartomizer experience going to be better? and will i have more options when it comes to purchasing accessories?

thanks!

p.s. i'm looking at either a GGTB @ 6v. 901 atty or a GLV2 @ 5v. 510 atty.

I find 808 cartos easier to handle at 5V. At 6V they can get a little hot/dry/burning. 5V at 2.5-3 Ohm, 6V at 3.5-4Ohm, 3.7 V at 2-2.5 Ohm is a good range. Coolcarts are around 3-3.2 Ohm. Perfect at 5V. BTW, LiteCig's premium and Vapornine Turbos are the same.

id go with the 5 volt and get get an adapter that lets you use the 901s too, imo youll be happier with 5V instead of 6V, 6V can get alot of juice too hot and give it a bad tast, 5v seems to be the popular choice too. i use my 901 atty at 5v and love it hope you figure out what you want, have a good noght!-)

Just as another option, why not take a look at a variable voltage mod? That way, you can have every voltage in one unit, and can fine-tune it to the exact voltage that suits whatever atty and juice you are using.

If you want to give 5v a try on the cheap just pick up an HV PT for about $15 and a 2 amp wall adapter for $10. That'll let you know if you want to go with 5v, and it'll give you a HV backup rig if you ever need it.

I'd go with the glv2 at 5v with the 510 atty. JMO though

i'm leaning that way... looks like they are on back-order.

I know it looks that way on the site, it's due to the fact that they are custom made. So it's more of a "pre-order"; I ordered a GLV2 on 1/8/10, and it should be here today. So if you'll excuse me, it's time to stalk the mailman...

I am waiting for my GLV to arrive. I picked it for a few different reasons. However, Angus has a very valid point, and my next device may very well be variable voltage.

As far as wanting 510, 901, etc . . . adapters are all of 99 cents at places like GoodProphets, so that shouldn't be a factor. I would just get the device you like best. If I were to go GG though, I'd go GGTS, just because you have more battery options.

Man, I ordered mine on the 9th (Technically the 10th I guess.) Everybody is getting theirs, and now I'm getting excited!
