6V Mod works with any cartos?

[BrandonSi]

I picked up a VZ 6V mod from the classifieds and it has a 510 thread, which is the same as all my other batteries.. but I've never had anything other than the standard 750mah/1100mah batteries that I believe run ~3.7/4v. Is it OK to use LR atty's / cartos with 6V? I have some 2ohm and 1.5ohm single coils, and some 2ohm dual coils that I was going to use, and maybe a LR atty with tank cart.. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to explode something in my mouth..

Also, the VZ 6V says it takes the CR123a batteries (2x 3V = 6V).. I have some Lithium CR123A batteries (non-rechargable) that I use for camera equipment.. OK to use those before I order the rechargeables?

Thanks!

At 6v, you need 3 ohm and higher resistance. Beyond 4.2v-4.5v, low resistance atty coils die rapid deaths and you wouldn't like the taste from burning liquid at higher voltages. Even at 3.7v, some of my juices begin to take on a harsh taste in a LR Boge carto. I like most juices at the 3.4v regulated by an eGo batt.

The ultimate vaping tool is a variable voltage mod that allows you to change the voltage to find the ultimate level for the best taste. Sometimes, a quarter of a volt change can make a noticeable difference.

This one is $35 from Madvapes and gives you a 0v - 7.4v range to play with using two 14500 batteries. It's a cheap way to enter the VV mod arena and experiment. It doesn't have a voltage display, but uses a thumbwheel to vary the voltage and Madvapes also sells a digital voltmeter for $14.99 that screws onto the 510 connector with a connector on the other end for your 510 atty. It's a quick way to set the voltage under load for a particular atty. Then you remove it and vape (or leave it connected).

Thanks! I do have a couple standard resistance attys w/ tank carts, so it sounds like that might be the best way to go until I can order some standard resistance cartomizers.. Thanks for the heads up, that was what I was concerned about, not having used high(er) voltage stuff before.

Thanks for the link, i'll check that out!

I had a fixed 5v box mod once and it popped my sr atty within minutes.

BrandonSI, You can use the 2.0 dual coil cartos on 6v. That is my favorite setup..

Ah.. Thanks guys.. as it turns out, I only have 1.5ohm dual coils.. Guess I'll go look for some 2.0 or SR dual coil cartos..

Those will work also... The 1.5 duals

Confirm.. Running the 1.5 duals from COV @ 6v. Expected it to be a lot hotter than it is given ~24 watts (net).

As expected, battery cycles are pretty short; "safe" batteries strongly recommended.

I was using a regular singe coil atty when mine popped. The dual coils can handle the higher voltage.

Sure, stuff happens..

Typically in a single coil setup people push around 7-10 watts (12 gets nasty to me). But at 24w (v^2 / r ) there is a rapid discharge as it takes more amps to feed provide that power. Just something to consider.
