I have tried making a mode out of 3.7V, 4.8V (3.7V + 1.2V) and 5V (manual USB Passthrough). They all worked well.

I also made a 7.4V (2 X 3.7V CR123A 1000mah) mod and it worked with my RN4075 atty, when I tried it with 801, it killed it.

I am no longer satisfied vaping with 3.7V power. Higher voltage gives me a stronger hit.

I would like to make a 6V (2 X 3V) mod this time. Do I need to add a diode for this. Do you think 6V is the maximum that an atty will take?

I noticed that GG is powered by both 3.7V and 6V. Is the Prodigy similar?

Do you think 6V is more suitable for 901s, 801 or 510s?:confused:

6 volts is fine if you adopt good practices when using the device with a penstyle atomizer. I posted some tips on another thread. Essentially, do not overheat the atomizer, do not drip on a hot atomizer, limit yourself to 3-5 good draws at one time, and have other vaping devices to use while the high-voltage device cools down. As long as you do not try to cremate the atomizer, it should last a month or more.

After a bunch of experimenting and fine tuning here are the values I use to balance throat hit, taste, juice consumption, atomizer life, etc. It is completely subjective and I'm constantly adjusting.

801 atomizers - 5.2 v
901 atomizers - 4.5 v
401 atomizers - 4.3 v

The problem is that there is a range of resistances even within the same atomizer model so the best you can do is ballpark it. If you're gonna use 6v + as your power source you can get close easily using the following:

801 - Use a UCC283-5 5v regulator
901/401 - Use a UCC283-5 5v regulator with a 1N4001 rectifier diode.

Thank you!
So, I tried using the 7805 and attaching it to two 10440 would not start the atomizer (just two-three separate times i managed to have some vape). Using the voltmeter, I found out that the voltage drops to 0.2volts as soon as I attach the atomizer.

Is it working with this UCC283? What i want to achieve is a nice steady 5v on batteries!
