Smok Tech 5 ohm 510 Cartomizer might get you into the mellow range with decent vapor. I have a pack but haven't broken into them yet. Just got em late last week.
Additionally, I've been using these on straight 5v devices.

The madvapes cartos you suggested tasted burned to me at 5V. I've got two packs of them, maybe I should try a couple more before throwing in the towel.
There is definitely something wrong if they taste burnt. 3.2ohms is fine for 5v.
You know, I just thought of this. I wonder if doing a 'test vape' on a lower volt device (3.7v or typical 3.2-3.4v 510/eGo) would help avoid that occasional insta-burn on a higher ohm/higher voltage combo.
I've found a relationship between the amount and tightness of the filler and the burnt taste in cartos. Ikenvape has been having their V2 cartos made with a looser filler and a denser material for the tube that is around the coil. The taste you get from these are amazing and they hold more juice and wick better. The IKV Gold V2 510 is my current favorite and is awesome on my 5V GLV2. Their 801 fusion is just as good. Can't tell them apart in the dark, really.
My experience with 5V was that 510s and 901s on average popped very quickly (some lasted a week or so but some popped as soon as I hit the switch). Cartos (808s) lasted as long as I could use them but that was only a couple of days at most before the burnt taste was just to much. I tried 801s and to me they are perfect. They last on average over a month and hold a lot of juice. No burnt taste on the ones from valuevaper. I am sure there are cartos out there that will work, but the 801 with a drip tip allows me to keep the wick wet and any carto that you don't mod will rely on wicking to supply the liquid and they just weren't designed to supply enough liquid for 5V operation.
I'm running those 3.2Ω Boges from MadVapes at 6V, and while they certainly heat up fast, I haven't gotten any burnt taste in the five I've gone through. I will give those 5Ω Smok Tech cartos a try though, just to see the difference.
searcher. You should try the IKV V2 Gold Drip Style carto I mentioned in my previous post. There is a huge difference between those and any other carto I've used. I used the last one for 4 weeks with one rinsing after two and a half weeks. I tried a second cleaning but it was still a little funky after the second cleaning. These have less filler and are wrapped more loosely and that makes a big difference. the material that the tube around the coil is made from is denser than that of a regular carto too. Isaac really does have these things made to a different spec. than anybody else and he really got these right. The 801 Fusion cartos are made the same way and I can't tell the difference in performance between the two.
People have torn them apart after they're spent and they don't seem to burn either.
I've had no problem running any 3.2Ω cartos on my 5V passthru. I think the Genuine Joye 510 Cartos vape on it best though.

Been waiting on Issac's Carts, but he is waiting on his new shipment also. Looking for substitutes if there are any 
I've had very good luck using V4L's Coolcart blank cartos on my 5V PT. They run at approx. 3.6ohms.
