You don't necessarily have to go to 'high volt' (usually understood as 5 or 6 volt mods) to get better performance with the 901. Many of the 3.7 volt mods will do very well too. Most mod 3.7 volt batteries perform better (run at a higher average voltage - 3.6-4.0V for a much longer period of time - several hours) vs. the "3.7Volt" regular ecig 'kit batteries' which run at around 3.1 volts and last a few hours. So you'll see a big difference between the regular kit batteries and the non-proprietary mod batts.

Here's a battery data base which tells at what voltage the various mods run at:

If you really do mean 'HV' (ie. 5 or 6 volts), then I know from experience that the regular stock 901 atty works well at 5 volts, and would be what I'd recommend for a true HV mod, although I prefer the 3.7v mods because I like the 510 atomizer and 5 and 6 volts run it too hot. (For more info see below** which gets into the more technical explanation - you might want to just save that for later reading . The regular atomizers cost less and you'll still maintain the good taste that you can get from the 901.

Here's one viewpoint I respect from scubabatdan who goes by the numbers:

901 3.3 ohms resistance recommended voltage 4.6
801 3.8 ohms resistance recommended voltage 5
510 2.1 ohms resistance recommended voltage 3.7
Cartomizers 3.0 ohms resistance recommended voltage 4.4
Ceramic 2.7 ohms resistance recommended voltage 4.2

So the formula is Votage(V)/Resistance(R) = Current(I)
Watts or Power(P) = Current(I) * Voltage(V)
6.5 watts seems to be the wattage the attys respond best to IMO.

Others have different views on 'sweet spot' - I like between 6 and 8 Watts. Others like a bit more, but over 10W can be really hard on atomizers.

So the 4.6 recommended voltage for the regular 901 atomizer would still work well with a 5 Volt mod - giving you 7.5 Watts, whereas if you go to a 6 volt mod with the regular 901 atty, that gives you 11 Watts - too hot - so you'd have to get 'HV' 901 atomizers which have a higher ohm rating.
