Help with Cartos at 6V

[totalchaos]

I have been using my V3 at 6V and I can't seem to get a carto to taste right on fresh batteries. I have to use an atty for a few hours so the batteries die a little before I can get a decent flavor out of them. Am I doing something wrong or is there a place I can get Cartos that work well right out of the gate on fresh batteries.

You'll need a carto with at least a 3.5Ω resistance to even get close to a decent wattage at 6V. Most cartos are around 2.5Ω. At 6V that's 14.4 Watts. Just about any juice will burn at that level. Not to mention the filler fibers. Even at 3.5Ω you'll be above 10 watts. Cartos aren't really made for 6V.

How do you tether the volts? Can you do it on the V3?

I was wondering why are there urges for higher voltage? I noticed that on other post too. Unless manufacturers embark on making cartos or attys for higher voltage, I do not see the need of 6V as yet. I am just curious.

I love 6V dripping with an atty. It just seems to be warmer with better vapor production IMO. It just get a little bit of a hassle trying to drip and stealth vape at work so I have been looking for cartos that will work at 6V. I got tired of wasting money on trial and error so figured I'd ask.

May I suggest the Joye mega cartos? They hold more juice but need some time getting used to. They produce lots of vapor.

I have a 6V V3 and the standard resistance Boge cartos work great. I get mine at MadVapes because they've given me excellent products and great service. They measure 3.1-3.4 Ω. Puresmoker also sells their BE510 cartos that run at 4.5Ω.

I think anything around 3.5 ohms would be ideal for you. I have used 3 ohm Boge cartos at 6v and while they did taste pretty good, anything over a 3 second draw got very very hot.

I know you are asking about cartomizers here but I have to mention Ikenvapes HV 306 (3.5 ohm). This dripping atomizer is fantastic at 6v and will provide great th taste and ridiculous vapor production.

CardinalWinds hit it on the head. Definitely try the standard Boge cartos if you really want to stay with cartomizers at 6v if you like a very warm vape that is.

The KR8 cartos had a strange taste to me whenever I tried them at 6v. Just thought I'd toss this in here.

Those are what you want. I'm using a Buzz variable voltage mod most of the time now and don't usually turn it up above 5.5 volts. I have bad results with regular (2.5Ω) cartos above 5V.

I have one of the IKV HV 306 attys that Sorrid mentioned and I prefer that at 5.5 volts. I'm sure it's fine at 6 though. That's about 10.2 watts. I aim more for the area between 8 and 9 watts these days. But hey, I guess some like it hot so to each their own, right?

808's can be used at 6v, providing that you have a good 3rd gen mod that can keep it perpetually wet, like the GGTS AFS/AVS or the Reo Grand.

808 at 6v with some Havana Gold from AVEjuice...that's some fine vapin'!

I think I am going to give the PS BE510 Cartos a shot. Maybe I will give some LR cartos a try with the high drain 3.7V from PS any suggestions on LR cartos?

Those BE510's are fine, I just prefer the Boge's a little more. But if you want a carto over 4 ohms, that's the way to go.

I just got a ProVape-1 (nice 3.7V mod) for my mother and they included 5 Boge LR cartos. As opposed to the standard resistance ones I recommended for 6V, I tested these today and they ranged from 1.9-2.1Ω. Popped one on the ProVape after filling and they work great. ProVape sells them, obviously, as does MadVapes and I'm sure plenty of others.
