6volt vaping?

I believe it means whether you use one 14500 battery at 3.7volts or two cr2 batteries at 3 volts each. If your looking for a range the Buzz from notcig has every voltage setting from the 3volt area to the 6volt area and anywhere in between because it is adjustable.
When are those heavy duty attys from notcigs gonna be available?
Also, if you have one 14500 battery then you cant vape at 5v? you need the cr2s?
To vape at 5 volt with one 14500 battery you would need something like a TI booster to boost the power to 5 volts. Two 14500 with a regulator would also give you 5volts but I don't know if either of these options are used in the silver bullet.
The buzz I was talking about is a mod not an atty. I didn't know they were going to have HD attys.
If I may just for clarafication...
The SB takes an 18650 battery and the BB takes the 14500 battery.
You can't double either of those batts unless the device was really long.. LOL..
You can use the CR2 batts for the 5/6v vaping but you will need to be super careful..
Please look around and go to the supplier forums and seee what they all have to offer and ask in their respective forums your questions about the 5/6v vaping..

Good advise. I personally suggest any mod that uses the 18650. this battery has a really long charge life. most people get 1/2 to 2 days out of a charge.
Any mod that I've seen which uses the 18650 can also accommodate 2, CR 123 3volt batteries for a 6 volt option. I use 2 CR123s on a regular basis with a high resistance atty. I'm hooked on this set up.
Yes, the SB takes one 18650 for a true 3.7V vape. Or 2 CR123A's 3V's for a 6V vape. The stacked CR123A's are not 'endorsed' by AltSmoke.
I get 22 Hours out of the 18650, but the SB has become an extension of my hand now, so YMMV. It's a pleasure to not have batteries plugged into every outlet and USB port in my house!

I also had a question in regards to this. High volt vapeing (5-6v) uses the low resistance atties right? Or are they two different things entirely?
Amen to not having batteries everywhere only to get a few hours vaping.
I am one of those hooked at 6v. If your gonna stack batteries-you have to always be aware of your unit, how it's functioning, keeping the sets together as one set and remember to change the stacking position. When one battery in the set dies-they both should be thrown away. Inspect your batteries on a regular basis.
There is much more, but this is a start. Others that know more will most likely chime in.

Not really much reason to go through the trouble of stacking batteries for 6v, now that there are low resistance atomizers. The 18650 SB with hot spring and LR atty is pumping about as much juice through your juice as a couple batteries would.
Thats exactly what I was wondering! Is 3.7v with LR atty as good as 6v vaping? I'm not gonna bother with a 6v mod then.
Wrong. Low resistance attys allow more current to flow through, they're meant to increase the performance of a 3.7v battery. High resistance attys restrict current, and are meant for high voltage (6v+) to avoid popping atty coils and solder points, the downside there is losing some of the current you're trying to achieve by stacking batteries. This was the 'new thing' before LR atty's came out, which just make more sense safety-wise and in the pocket book.
The best "HV" experience to me is 5v supplied by a TI regulator or booster, the circuit boards supply a tight, consistent vapor cloud, and flavor is still there.

IME it's about the same, better or worse depending on the juice used. Sometimes it's like 5v. 6v can really kill flavor, but my LR attys@3.7v even leave a burnt taste if I fire them too long. This is the reason I prefer 5v boosted or regulated circuits, the flavor is still there, I can fire them longer without a burnt taste.
It's probably close but maybe not quite there. Also, many people say you might not want to use an LR atty on a standard battery. In other words, you would want some type of mod that uses the (for instance) 18650 discussed above. I hate that fact, since I'd like to occasionally use one on a standard 510 battery in public. Another thing is that the LR attys "might" not last as long as a standard atty. A lot of this is partially speculation since the LRs haven't really been around as long as standards.
I use LRs from Altsmoke (1.8ohms) on a 10440 Precise. They say not to do that, it stresses the battery, but honestly it's the only way you're going to get me to mess with a 10440 and not chuck the thing out a car window. It drops the Precise's voltage under load down below 3v, but it still lasts me about 1hr before noticing a loss of performance, and overall the performance is twice as good as a Precise with normal 510 atty..
Wow, thank you for clearing that up for me, it's appreciated.
I almost made a costly mistake there.
I've built mods in both the 510 format and the 901 format and I indeed get a burnt taste from some juices at 6 volts with a high resistance 510 atty but the 901 with 5.2 ohm resistance seems really good to me. I have never tasted any burnt taste with them. Perhaps the wattage is closer to the range it is with a regulated 5V?
I hope somebody posts the math for figuring wattage, because I can't remember it. Sounds right though. I have to try some LR 901 (do they make those?) and see if I like them better than LR510s. The burnt taste of the LR 510 is the only reason I'm heavily using my 5v mods and busting out the solder to fix them once a week. I don't have any true HV attys to compare, only a 3.4ohm slb 510 that I use on my 5v mods, makes them work even better IMO than a regular 510, smooths it out a bit more but still in HV territory in terms of vapor and TH. If I hit it long, I don't get a burnt taste as much as "toasty" which is about as close to a real cig as I've found yet.
