High Voltage Atty?

[Hard31337]

Ok, so I am looking to purchase a mod that vapes at variable voltages. I am wondering though, whats the best atty for this? Lets say the mod takes 510 attys, would a "high voltage atty", like this one - http://eastmall.net//Products/ShowProduct.aspx?pid=100000205

Would that be something ideal to use with a mod? Or does one get the same performance with a regular atty?

Depends on their design, the range of the adjust feature, what the main power source is, what regulator their using, etc.

I have designed and built all of mine so these factors are all figured in and known.

You might ask the seller/builder how it might perform. "Most" (I say this with reserve) should work well with the full range of atties out there if there was any thought put into their design. But the one you're looking at might not be designed for it.

Personally I love the HV atties smply because the amp draw is reduced substancially plus they offer great flavor, vapor and throat hit (never tried eastmalls tho) - The LR atties are nice too - but they sure "tax" the system.

Would you think a supplier with a good rep be a safe bet to say they factor in these things? I only ask because as of right now I have not decided on a unit. I have use Low Resistance attys on my Ego, and can't go back to a regular atty after doing so. I'm told it's supposed to be simulating a 5v vape. I have already read at different places that LR attys should not be used to vape at any higher voltage than 3.7v

Try Ikenvape.com for HV attys. They have some good ones.

Their prices are 200%-300% higher than the site I've already found. I'm interested in purchasing 300-400 attys at a time, and I can't see paying over 2k more.

You would need to stick (on average) with 3.7-4.0v(ish) for 1.5 ohm atties (perhaps 4.4-4.6 v for 2.0 ohm atties). The 4.2 units you're looking at would reguire a min loaded voltage of about 6.2 -6.5V (at 4.2 Ohm load) to equal your (~10 watt) experience with the LR. All voltages are LOADED voltage. You need higher output (6.8-7.3ish) if you go with the 4.5 and 5.2 ohm atties. Hope this helps -- again - contact the supplier for specs - that's my best recomendation. Or better yet - build your own. Let us know if you need help with that or PM me.

Regarding product of other suppliers..... I know of some that take little advantage of the available power many "mods" can provide. Others take it a bit further. It's all in how you do it. Nothing is a "safe bet" unless it is proven to perform at the levels you need and desire.

When you say variable voltages, do you mean variable voltage mod? Or do you mean one that vapes at either 3.7 or 6 volts. If it's the latter sure, it makes sense to get a HV atty for 6 volts. But if it's a true variable voltage mod you don't need a HV atty....that's kind of the point of a variable voltage mod..you just find the right spot for that particular juice/atty combo.

I'm sorry, but I am a little slow when it comes to all the technical speak. I'm not sure what to take from what you just told me. Are you saying a 4.2 ohm atty could not be used to vape at any voltage up to say 6.5v?

I mean variable voltage that has a switch where you can adjust the voltage from 0 to a certain number in increments of .1 or whatever. However, I do want to get attys that can handle higher voltage vaping, I mean, they cost the same price as the reg attys, so I'd rather have one that can do all voltages, as opposed to regs that can't do say 6v.

Basicly with the high voltage atty all they do is use a different size wire or wind more wire to make it a higher ohm atty. The only way i could see this being better is if in fact they use the same size wire but more of it. Then you would have a larger heating element which in turn could produce more vapor. Really not sure how they are made though. I have a friend that works for a place that makes variable voltage batteries. Bad thing is all the ones They have you have to adjust the voltage with a screw. That would be a pain in the .... to do all the time. Unhook the atty hook up a voltage meter adjust the voltage seems like alot of work. I would like to see one that has a led voltage readout and push button voltage adjustment to find that sweet spot nice and easy like. Now we just need someone to make one like that

As an example, a HV atty running at 7v should vape about the same as a regular atty at 5v.

Given that regular atties are usually cheaper and more available than high volt atties, the high volt ones are kinda pointless if you have a freely adjustable variable voltage mod. The high volt ones were designed for people who are locked into high volts.

Ok, I think I understand. So the high volt attys do not necessarily last longer than a reg atty when using them at higher volts than 3.7v. Is that correct? I mean, they are the same in price, so I don't mind getting either. But it sounds like If I'm going to be using a freely adjustable variable voltage mod, then the regular atty is just fine to achieve what I am looking for. I was simply worried of burning attys out really fast because I'd be vaping at voltages they were not designed to handle.
