Looking into ordering a GLV2/5v version. At present I only use the LR 510 attomizers-but on a 3.7 pv. Will my LR attys work with the GLV2 or will I need to switch over to the regular 510 attomizers? Thanks for the help.

With any 5V PV you do not use LR atties. I have not tried it but understand the LR atties will die VERY quickly at anything above 3.7V. This true for all all pv's not just the GLV2.
I am waiting the arrival of my GLV2/5v and will try normal 510, HV510 and other atties and/or cartos using adaptors but will try NO LR atties on any 5v+ device.

You would do best to use a reg 510's at 5v instead and use your LR 510s on your 3.7 device. You can try cartos on the 5v. I have used LR on 5v but they burn a little too hot.
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to attys. Attys, like juices, are a matter of personal preferences. Each performs a bit differently (different juices flavor comes out different in each atty as do amounts of vapor). so, if you used the same device and the exact same juice, it will feel and taste somewhat different with each atty variety you try.
There are many different ohm rating for different attys as well. For example, the LR attys you use on 3.7 are in the 1.5 to 1.8 ohm range. On a 5V device, these will pop because the voltage is too high. LR attys are designed to "simulate" higher voltage vaping but not designed to be USED on actual higher voltage devices.
Most regular 510 attys are 2.5 ohms but you can find them in other ohms ratings like 3.0, 3.3, 4.5 and 5.2.
901s are native 3.3 ohms as are the various attys in the 801 series (801, BE112, 302).
Personally, I like 3.0 to 3.3 ohms range on a 5V device. I find the 2.5 ohm attys get too hot for my juices. I use higher VG mixes and VG burns at lower temps so the hotter the atty gets, the easier and faster one can reach those burnt tastes. I also find that sweeter and fruit flavors tend to lose more flavor at higher heat levels. Using a higher ohm atty keeps the heating temperature down a little lower.
So far, my favorite atty on GLV2 5V is the 901. However, I do enjoy the others in the 3.0 to 3.3 range.
Many cartos are in the are in the 3.o to 3.3 ohm range. There are exceptions but I have several varieties (even tho I am not a big carto fan - I got some of a variety to try) and most meter in this range. Many people enjoy cartos on the GLV2 5V model.
Hope something is here is helpful.

This is incorrect. You can indeed use LR atomizers with the GLV2 using the "5v" endcap. When you put an atomizer with 1.5 ohms of resistance on a GLV2 using the "5v" endcap the GLV2 will only deliver 4 volts to the atomizer under load - which is perfect for LR atties.
Believe it or not the GLV2 does vary the voltage output - automatically.
Just in case you missed my show last night you can catch the replay by clicking the link below. Here's the deal: the GLV2 can use ANY atomizer without any modifications. I have tested the following atomizers:
1.5 ohm Cisco 510 and 306
2.0 ohm Cisco 510
2.7 ohm Boge/Liquid Xpress carto
3.3 ohm V4L coolcart
1.5 ohm 801 (non-Cisco)
1.8 ohm 901 (non-Cisco)
All of these atomizers on the GLV2 clock in between 10 and 11.5 watts. The GLV2 will adjust - without any changes or settings by the user - to produce a good voltage for the atomizer being used.
This was NOT intended when Great Lakes Vapor was designing the GLV2. But it works, and it works great.
For example, when using the GLV2 with the Liquid Xpress 2.7 ohm atomizer the GLV2 puts out 5.3 volts under load.
With a 3.3 ohm V4L coolcart the GLV2 puts out 5.6 volts under load.
If you put a Cisco 1.5 ohm atty on the GLV2 it puts out 4.0 volts under load.
I demonstrate this during my show - this particular segment starts at around the 20 minute mark.
This is safe, and it will not pop your atty....please note that this will NOT work with other 5v regulated mods....they WILL pop a 1.5 atty or produce a vape that is not pleasant at all.
So if you own a GLV2 (with the standard "5v" endcap) - you have yourself a swiss army knife. Enjoy using it with LR atties - it rocks!
I uploaded a youtube video that shows how I tested several atomizers under load with the GLV2. The data is included in the description on the youtube video.

I have also found this to be true. I use LR attys all the time on my GLV 2. Thanks for the info.

I'd like to make a full and proper reply but I received an infraction from my last posts regarding this topic from an ECF admin. I really can't post about this any further or create a new thread until I am clear on the rules here as the material that I respond with may violate the rules as my last post apparently did.
Thanks so much for your encouragement and interest. I will be glad to provide additional information as soon as possible but of course I need clarification about the rules here. I thought I was respectful with my post and the content provided but I violated the rules according to an ECF admin.
I can provide much more information to anyone interested in this topic but for now I have to do this as a series of DM-DM conversations instead of making public posts.
Thank you for your interest and understanding.

Hello to all of you GLV2 fans! Please stop by VapeTVLive tonight for continued coverage of the new and wonderful ways that you can use your GLV2.
I have collected additional data and have made new findings - I'll be going over them live tonight.
My show, Click, Bang! starts with music at 7:30 and the video portion starts at 8:00. I'll be going over the GLV2 findings sometime after 8:00.
See you soon! You can click this link anytime after 7:30 EST Sunday night.
