can you use a normal 510 atty at 6v?

I didn't know that there are HV 510 attys.
What happens if you use a normal 510 atty at 6v?

Many people are very successful using a "normal" atty @ 6v. The key seems to be short hits (2-4 seconds) and keeping the atty wet..........

Getting those two points right seems to take some practice. If I had wanted to Chuck at 6V, I would have also purchased the battery and charger for 3.7. That way I would have a fall back plan (the lower voltage), if I found I was popping atty's right and left.

It is also possible that some people have 510's that are knock-offs, or from a bad manufacturing run. Unfortunately there is no way to tell until they pop or don't pop.

is there a specific way to tell that an atty is running dry? Low or no vaper perhaps? but that could be due to a flat batt too right?

HA, Just don't buy crap attys like I did. I'm not really sure what brand to buy yet though so ill take any advice on that point.

Don't get atty too hot. Let it cool for a couple mins after a few good hits.

I personally won't try a HV atty. I like the normal attie at 6v. If it gets too much, or washes out the flavor I'll use 3.7. To me getting a HV atty is just a 3.7v experience at 6 or 7.4 volts. This is just the way I see it, I am probably wrong.

I would recommend folks who are new to HV vaping use an 801 at first, they are much more forgiving than a 510.

With that being said, the above advice is good, keep them wet, keep the draws short, and if you get even the slightest hint of burning flavor put it down for a few minutes before topping off. Also, with freshly charged batteries you are probably getting about 6.4-6.6 volts, be very careful until the batteries drop a little bit.
