Am I onto something here? Anyone else notice this?

Ok so I've been vaping on a standard 510 and a 901 for the last week or so and it's been great.

Today I thought I'd try out vaping at HV to see what all the fuss is about. At this point I couldn't be bothered making an actual mod so I just took a 510 atty and used a benchtop Power Supply along with some wires and just touched them on the atty to test while the atty was in my mouth. cool: I know I live on the edge)

I started at 5V (which was a little more pleasant than regular) and worked up to about 9V (only in short bursts to keep temp down).

Now everytime I increased the voltage by about 1-2V I got that yucky burnt primer taste you get when you use a new atty. I just puffed on this without inhaling untill it went away THEN YUUMMMMYYY- the flavour became so good and strong. I thought WOW it is much better (even though I only vape 0mg).

Now here is where I think I may have come across someting to improve the performance. I put the atty back on my 3.7V regular battery and WHOA the flavour is now 2-3 times stronger and much more enjoyable compared to before going HV.

Has anyone else noticed this?
Could taking it up to HV burn off crappy residue/primer which allows better vapour production and taste back at standard Voltage?

You used a regular atty to vape at 6v and above? I surprised it didn't blow! They make special atomizers to vape at 6v and 7.2v.

I know if a reg atty can handle 5-10 sec @ 1.5amps a very wet atty wouldn't really have a problem working @ 3-4amps for 2 secs a few times... It's all about temperature and I was only testing and if I killed it so what.

possibly, but imo a soft dryburn like explained on a few spots already with a max 90% charged manual battery is better. the HV only kills residue if the atomizers is not to wet, but the atomizer fibre and coil get more damaged with that much Watts.

personally i'm going fully back to 3.7V. a cleaned even dryburned) atomizer is better than stacking up batteries in my opinion and driving clogged ones to death

if you want a hell of a Vape get a G120 Greencig cartomizer and put that on a mod.

I'm a HV kinda guy myself and I wasn't so lucky with the low voltage attys on an HV mod. Every one I put on blew in just a few seconds... Now I buy the HV attys and they work well for me. Oh and you are living on the edge... hehe

btw a stock battery is 2.8 3.2v Standard. Initially you may get higher volt when new but charge it a few times & you should be between those ranges at all times.
(Should) all 3 my batts always were 2.8-3.4 (I say 3.2 cause the 3.4 was for a short time)

Jumping it up to a higher voltage probably did a good job burning off stuff.

I personally can't stand the stock batteries anymore. Using a 6dollar box mod. with a 14500 Meters in other room or i would give u my idea of the voltage on it as they claim 3.6...
but i prefer the 18650 over the 14500 *now to find a simple box to fit the 18650 & add terminals*
been doing like u but with batteries.

I have a paasthrough with a vaiable power supply I find over 4.5 volt, there is a greater tendancy to vape dry and burn the bridge material of the atti. Over heating the fluid makes it dissipate at a rate that is hard to control. Hence you end up with a burnt taste in the atti.

I'm certain that even the 3.7V mods that run at peak voltage for hours, 'cleans' attys as they go. At the 3.0v level of the oem batts it doesn't seem to be enough and other methods of cleaning are needed. I don't recommend dry burns - on a 510 one can scorch the atty thread/wick to where you get the burnt taste after a dry burn (not always) but a 'wet burn' at HV can do the job better than any soak.

Exactly! This is what I think happened and it's still tasting better today with the stock battery then before I did the HV 'wet burn'... I did the dry burn before this but I didn't get the flavour to come through like I do now.

I was just looking to get some feedback from others who may have come across this whilst messing around.
