High Voltage

[Endosidney]

What is the difference between vaping at 3.7 with a LR atomizer and 5 or 6 volts with a HV atomizer. I assumed that was the whole idea the LR was that it was essentially the same as HV.

I have heard they are very close. You just have less choices of atomizers if you go high voltage

if you want more oomph I recommend a variable voltage device that does all voltages from 3.4 or 3.7 to 5v

Then you can put LR stuff on and use the low end, or standard resistance stuff and use the low to midrange and as high as you can go without popping an atty or HV atty and run near the top

Provari is a favorite variable voltage.

You can get good performance at 3.7v w/ LR.
Similar to 5v w/ a standard atty.
Watts are a good indicator of performance.

3.7 with a LR is made to simulate HV and it's as close as you're going to get at 3.7 but there are differences. In general the coil on HV attys are more robust and last longer. HV with a high ohm atty also pulls less current from the battery so you'll get better battery life, assuming we're comparing the same batteries, this also contributes to the atty lasting longer. Also you don't need to take as long of a hit to get the same vape. At 3.7 it can take very long drags to satisfy me. At higher voltages I can get the same effect with a much shorter draw, about the same as a normal cig in many cases, this also contributes to longer battery life due to not holding the button down as long for each hit.

Due to the higher voltage the vape will be warmer and you'll get more of it as well as TH. Lots of people find they can lower the nic level at higher voltages due to getting more vapor with each hit.

I ditched 6v vaping when I tried the LR. 1.5 ohm atomizers on a 3.7 mod. Still like 5v occassionally for reasons Dormouse mentioned but 6v is finicky. That voltage can easily burn your juice and wreck the flavor. The VV mods didn't work out for me but many love them.

Can use ohms law for an indicator of batt life. Amps=Volts/Ohms

A 1.6 ohm 306 atty produces vapor almost instantly at 3.7volts.

Have to be more careful not to overheat LR coil.
