6V PVs: Is that a new trend?

[maskgeek]

I keep noticing some PVs with the 6V power. (GG, ZiMoshi, Prodigy, Magnum, etc.) Is that better than the usual 3.7V power? Does it really give more vapor and throat kick? Will it not burn the atty or give it a shorter life? How about the flavor and juice, does it not toast it? I think those things consume more juice due to its power.
What are the pros and cons of the 6V PVs?

With 6v you need a shorter draw time shouldn't kill an atty any quicker.....just don't vape VG with it.

The down side is that if you hold the button down too long:

I love the throat hit and lots and lots of vapor. The draw feels like a real analog.
The juice flavor to me is improved. I just love the 6v.
They are big juice hogs. This means more driping,more carts refill.

On the plus side you can jump start your car if needed.............

just don't vape VG with it.

Hadn't heard that before.

What not?

Because rumor has it heating VG too high can produce that dangerous chemical arceolin or however it's spelled.

Well, crap.

I can't vape PG and I've preordered the Prodigy with the 6v batts. I guess I'll have to stick with the lower voltage.

Personally, I wouldn't want 6 volts of anything. That also makes for juice hogs. I guess it depends on the person. I'm trying not go UP in my addiction, but move down. I don't want monster throat hits and monster power and monster mgs of juice. I want to stay low and keep going lower. I know once you go up, it's hard to come down. So I'm satisfied where I'm at and with the 3.7 v.

I only vape VG, allergic to PG. I use a screwdriver so I am okay, no 6V for me! I think that may be overkill anyway. Here is a thread about it, that says what happens to VG at 6V

Well, you have a point there.

My biggest problem has been, so far, the smaller the throat hit, the more likely I am to crave an analog no matter how much nic I've vaped.

Sad that I have to cause myself a little pain to satisfy my addiction, no?

However, my little EVO usually does the trick with the right juice, so I'm betting the smaller voltage on the Prodigy will do me no harm.

More so because @ 6V VG will taste very bad............

Exactly, lets not start a panic abnout 6volts and VG being dangerous as stated otherwise I am sure many of the peeps on this forum would be dead.

It is the taste of the thicker liquid at that heat that gives a burning hit in the throat.

I used to cut my liquid with 40% PG and 10% VG and I even noticed it. My next batch will be 50% PG and 50% juice.

Luckily I am ok with PG and not allergic to it, which helps.

 

[Slea]

Risk of death? Meh. I smoked, didn't I?

Bad flavour? Now, THAT I can't handle!

The people selling these 6V mods should warn the buyers on this. Attys were designed for 3.6 volts only.
I guess you can also achieve huge vapor and throat hit with a manual 3.6v PV.
