I use a Joye eGo MEGA atomizer a eGo mega carto. Mostly because I hate refilling the carts so often on the regular 501's. The ego mega holds 2.5ml and I refill or top off about every 4 to 6 hours or so.
Boge 510 blank catomizers.
For taste testing of different juices I'll use a joye standard atomizer with the bridge removed and drip.

Can't answer because I use cartos. 510 (just about any mfg.), 808 (also multiple mfg.) and 801 cartos.
This is an interesting (and good) idea. But, the poll may be too limited to be truly informative. As I have posted in other GLV threads (and others have posted throughout the forum), there are many atty factors. Ohms level is certainly a primary issue. 510 attys come in many ohms ratings from 1.5 - 2.0 LR varieties to 2.5-3.3 "regular" varieties AND 4.5 & 5.2 HV varieties. 901s come in LR (1.5-1.9ish), regular (3.3) and HV 5.0 ohms. 801 series (801, BE112 & 302) come LR, regular and HV - well, I have seen 302 in LR and regular and 801s in all three and BE112 so far only in regular. Additionally, and atty model can vary +/- .3 ohms. And this does not get into cartos.
So, I suspect the poll might be better off asking what Ohms attys people use and have. Beyond ohms, each atty style has its own "personality" of vapor production, TH and flavor production.
It is possible that the overall issue may get too complex.
In general, on my 5 V devices, I use 3.0-3.3 ohms attys. I prefer the 302 as I find it gives me the most flavor. The 302 can take longer to break in and also can be pretty sensitive to smaller variations in voltages. I laso like the 901 on my GLV2 but certainly prefer the 302.
As a side note, and I will soon have an aide that will let me test all my devices under load with any atty, I think the under load voltage is different from the rated voltage. different resistors and regulators behave differently. I suspect the GLV may be closest to 5V under load as my other 5V devices meter 5V at the connector (without being under load - so under load are probably less). i think this under load issue is why the GLV2 seems to hit harder than other 5V devices. However, I also think this contributes to why some may be having difficulties with burning. I still stick to my earlier recommendations - all these issues taken into consideration, the 3.0 to 3.3 ohms attys should provide the best all-around vaping (IMHO). Of course, some like the hotter vape of the 2.5 attys but (due to Ohms variations) that will continue to risk the possibility of burnt tastes.

There you go making are brains smoke again.....lol all that tech talk makes me want to grab my soldering iron and make something. naaa I don't think so right now. maybe tomorrow.
Sorry - I start out thinking I might have some little tidbit to contribute and then the sentences start flowing - I do not know why this keeps happening! 
How about this(?): try different attys in the 3.0 to 3.3 ohms range.

that will work. thanks. lol
Those are a problem at 5 volts. With a 1.5 ohm atty you're pushing 16.6 watts. That'll burn the juice and pop the atty coil pretty quick. I don't even use my 801 cartos at 5 volts. They have a 2.5 ohm resistance.
I use the Joye eGo MEGA atomizers also and the GLV2-5v turns it into a monster vape machine. Occassional I will use 510 Mega Atomizer but I like the eGo MEGA atomizer.
Here's something I don't understand. I got some 510 cartos from Ikenvape that are 2.5 ohms and they work great but my 801 cartos from Madvapes are also rated at 2.5 ohms and they burn too hot at 5 volts. Gofigger.
I think its with the coil inside the two. I tore apart one of each the other day. (ya I was bored) the 510 and 901 are just about the same. But the 801 coil is about half the size in diametor than the other two. I think that is kind of weird. but may say something about the "too hot thing"
Hmmm... I wonder how they provide the same resistance then. I assume they're both made of nichrome wire. Maybe the ohm ratings aren't accurate.
Sorry about dragging this thread off topic. Carry on.
While I cannot speak with complete confidence, I have read posts, from those I do have confidence in, that resistance can be a function of the length of the coil and/or the gauge of the nichrome.
I am not a carto user. I have some but rarely use them. I do know that resistance can fluctuate +/-.3ohms in attys and I would imagine the same applies to cartos. If you have a multimeter, these is easy and quick to measure and if you do it with each one you open, by the end of a box you will probably have some idea about variations. However, I have found attys, in general, to be pretty inconsistent. .2 or .3 volts variance can be a pretty big different in watts (heat) especially when you are using lower ohms on a 5V device (I consider 2.5 ohms lower ohms for 5V).
Yeah, I've found that anything lower than 2.5 ohms doesn't work well at 5V. 10 watts or a little under is my target.
I know that I'm beating a dead horse, but your poll is quite limited. This could be extremely useful if it was a bit more thought out. I too am curious to see what people are using and a colorful visual aid is easier on the eyes then reading each response.
