Any Material To Reduce Voltage?

[Sir_Lawrence]

I have a silver bullet and like it at 6v. But, for some reason, I keep burning up 801 attys. I'm doing everything right according to everyone's tips. So I would like to reduce the volts to 5v. I've tried making the resister disks someone showed on this site, but for some reason, it didn't work with an atty attached to the mod. It worked in the mod using my voltage meter, but not with an atty. Odd!
So, I'm trying to find some type of material already made that may work to drop it down a volt.
Thank you

the problem with the resistor disk is not only does it drop the voltage it also drops the amperage which meand poor atty is starved, get a 5v regulator from radioshack for a few bucks never used one myself but never heard anything negative about it.
