6v versus 3.7 with LR atty

[chose2live]

Hi guys,
I know there has been some discussions regarding this but i have some specific questions.

1.Are there many of you 6v vapers gone back to 3.7 and LR. Please comment on why.

2. When vaping at 6v did you use Hi res atties or normal ones. Also did you use any special juices?

I just recieved my silver bullet and want to explore the option so would value your advice.

Thanks.

I've owned several 6v devices and went back to 3.7v. E liq tastes better to me at 3.7v with a LR 510 atty. Also at 6v you use ALOT of liquid and easier to fry attys. I've never used an hv atty

Thankyou. Looking forward to the comments from the community. A lot of experienced vapers here.

Thanks Rimp.

I use both. At home I always use a Chuck at 6v with an HV atty (801). When I'm out like at a casino or something I take my Riva with an LR atty (510) because it's smaller and easier to carry. I don't see a lot of difference in taste, both are great. All the juices I use are from Tasty Vapor.

I've used 6 v with a regular atty and HV atty. HV attys died too quickly for me. In now using a Riva with LR atty and thats my preference.

I found that 6 v you loose flavor, but with the 3.7 and LR I have flavor again. I'm not even interested in mods any longer.

I have used both HV and LR. Both are good to me.
No special juices for me.

The 4.5 ohm resistance HV 510 are very good at 7+v
a 3.5 OHM AT 6V

LR 510s I prefer at 4.5v using a vari volt PV... better than 3.7
But 3.7 will do. There is a lot of merit in 3.7 PVs depending on the atty used.

I use HV atomizers with 6 volt and LR atmoizers with 3.7 volts. I still prefer the 6 volts. If I don't use HV with 6 volts I burn too many atomizers.

I use a LR atty at 3.7V...but not on an eGo type battery....or 3.2Ω cartomizers on 6V

Modified Electronic Cigarettes and their types

There are 4 main types of devices

I. 1. battery powered , no regulation ( no voltage control , power to the atomizer follows the battery voltage )
2. Fixed Regulated ( they are a preset voltage output )
II. 3. Switched regulated ( they have several preset voltages that are selectable )
III. 4. Variable regulated ( they are continuously variable within a range of voltages )

Advantages / disadvantages

A . Battery powered
i. Advantages: No circuitry to fail ,
ii. Disadvantages : No load regulation , the voltage will droop with the battery life and you will loose power and vapor , No protection circuitry

B. Fixed regulation :
iii. Advantages : Regulated output voltage , consistent vaping voltage over the life of the battery
iv. Disadvantages : No control over the voltage

C. Switched regulation
v. Advantages : Regulated output voltage , switchable voltage values
vi. disadvantages : values are fixed and can not be adjusted

D. Variable regulation:
i. advantages : Complete control over the output voltage to the atomizer
ii. disadvantages : you will fiddle with the voltage until you find the spot you like .

PS: not all regulators are created equal , most have built in protection circuitry but not all so ask the manufacturer.

Types of regulators : there are 2 main types of regulators

1. Linear / analog types , these types of regulators drop voltage across them to control the output voltage to the load (i.e. Atomizer or cartomizer ) they require a certain amount of minimum voltage across them to operate ( LDO types requires less voltage drop across them ).
2. PWM or ( pulse width modulated ) this type of regulator uses pulses of voltage switching on and off to charge a capacitor and regulate the voltage output , there are 2 types of basic PWM regulators A. Buck and B. Boost , a buck regulator drops the voltage down and Boost reg. Boosts the voltage ( there is another type that does both )

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type BUT any regulated device will control the voltage and keep it stable throughout the battery charge time .
Many people have found that uncontrolled voltage to an atomizer can cause them to open up and go bad , or cause the flavor and temperature of the juice to taste burnt or too hot for the vapor .

Great! Lots of info,just the kind of thing i'm looking for..thanks.

Ermm, Buzz?, I think you've posted to the wrong thread mate.

Ya I did ? how the hell did that happen ???? weird my bad sorry

i used 3.7v and LR attys for a while and recently started using 6v and regulated 5v with regular 510 attys. as far as flavor and throat hit i like the 6v and 5v much better, i dont see myself going back to 3.7 full time at least for a little while. I havent used the HV attys yet and the juices i use for 5 and 6v tend to be dominating flavor type "earthy" flavor juices. the lighter fruitier ones seem to be too light and taste burnt to me sometimes so i still use those occasionally at 3.7v with LR attys. Also i did burn out 2 attys at 6v so far so it may be more cost effective to stay at 3.7 but its too early to tell, maybe i just didnt keep them wet enough.

Bob you can go variable regulated with some of the new stuff out there , this helps to make the juice flavors pop out and work really well

 

[keyzygirl]

For me 3.7 is weak,better w/LR atty
6v is to hot and burns up my attys and cartos too fast.
Im going to try 5v and hope its going to be better.

yea i was eyeballing the buzz. this would definitely make swapping out batteries for different voltages a thing of the past. im still in the early stages of collecting mods so im sure ill be checking it out.
