Title says it all really :D
Would I need to buy some 510 HV attys to go with my new 5v PT that I ordered? Obviously Id only be using the HV atty on the PT as I have reg 510 manual batts and I doubt theyd fit - or work right (I have no idea though).

What are the advatages (or DISadvantages) or using a high volt atty?

And lastly: where might I purchase some if I do need them? (the 510 HV attys)

Thanks in advance :thumb:

HV attys are used to reduce the power output. learn ohms law to figure it all out, but in short battery voltage divided by atty resistance = current draw. then take current draw and multiply by battery voltage to get Watts (Power). A normal 510 bat is like 3.1 volt and a normal joye 510 atty is 2.2 ohms, put a 5 volt battery on that 2.2 ohm atty and it is going to increase the power output (atty will burn hotter) if you have a problem burning up attys or don't like the taste of vape at that power you can put a higher ohm atty on it and effectively reduce the power. doing this you can really match batery and atty together for the vaping experience you want. Most people seem to like to vape in the 6 - 10 watt range, so i've read. dse-510 attys run in the 3.2 ohm range and drew (Nhaler) sells hv attys at 4.5 and 5.2 ohms. At 6volts some people use the 4.5 atty and at 7.4 volts some use the 5.2 (some also use the regular atty at these voltages also) you'll just have to experiment with all that, at 5 volts in my limited experience I would start with the joye atty and then maybe try the DSE-510, If I figure right the joye would put you at about 11 watts and the DSE would be about 7.8 watts - something like that.

No I've been using a 5 volt usb passthrough on my 510 for along time. One thing you should know, it's hard to go back to low voltage vaping though. At least I can't
Yeah lol I realise this may FORCE me to get a batt mod but oh well :)
I use the PT way more than my manual batts anyway.
Thanks guys
