If I move up from a Joye510 to an Ego or higher voltage mod that uses the 510 attys, can I expect my attys to expire more quickly?
Higher voltage = shorter atty lifespan?

I believe the the Ego is a 3.7v device as is your normal 510.
If you move up to 5 and/or 6v YES, you can expect a shorter life to some extent on attys. How much will depend on certain variables that really cant be measured..
keep your atty wetter at higher voltages..

The EGo/Tornado is 3.7v. I am also wondering what 5-6v does to the lifespan of a 510 atty. Obviously it generates more heat, but can it handle it? Reasonable longevity or would I expect to replace it after a week. What doots says makes sense, guess I'm wondering if anyone has any longevity exp with it. Curious..

At 5V and above - it's more likely. At 3.7V mod battery, I think they last longer from running warmer and not letting juice gunk up the coil.
So a 3.7v mod battery will run hotter than a stock 3.7v 510 battery?
Not that I'm aware of, but I'm still fairly new too.
Voltage is Voltage. All the 3.7v mods do to my knowledge is provider higher mah (milliamp-hour) ratings, which give more consistent power for longer periods of time between recharges, and utilize generic batteries that are available from many sources for cheaper/easier-to-find parts...

Think about it like a pro athlete(football or bball) vs a common person! Who's joints will be hurting the most when they are 50...
Agreed on the higher voltage part, just to clarify to the OP Mod vs Stock 3.7 is still just a difference in available mah.
Oh absolutely. That's is really, imo, the main benefit of the 3.7V mods and the 14500/510 combo - big vapor without burning out flavor which you can do with the HV mods, imo. Well you can dumbdown an atty to do better with the HV's, but why? Of course the battery life is a big part but if there was a mod that got me supermini vapor that lasted three days - I'm not interested. But get the vapor from a Bartleby or Protege even for 4 hours (I can get 8 rather easily), then I go for that one.
The reason is, is that the non proprietary/non -oem batts can, first, _reach_ peak volts - see Scottbee's post on "Battery - Surprise" and then hold peak volts for hours.
Wow, thank you very much, Kent C. That I did not know and its info certainly worth knowing when one is just getting his feet wet in this endeavor. I'm already daydreaming about my next pv and that helps a bunch.
I use 5v exclusively and I dont really see a difference in lifespan from 3.7 to 5v on my atties. As long as you treat them right and keep them moist I dont see a difference in lifespan

Glad I could help. It took me a while to figure it out - in fact, you really don't know until you've tried one - then it's 'oh, that's what the deal is with mods - wish I would have know that earlier' ;-) And it really helps when you stumbled into the right starter kit too. lol
You're right, except for me, I tend to be 'absent minded' when vaping -enjoying the flavor and vapor and I tend to forget this part - 'As long as you treat them right and keep them moist'. Lol. With the 3.7V it's more forgiving for that stuff. I still have and vape the 5v but with cartos where the wattage isn't as great than with the 510 - something like 6.5 vs. 17w which can go dry rather quickly.
Yeah at 3.7 they are definately more forgiving. When you get up to 6v and higher its better to get a HV atty as they are made for those volts and higher but same principals , must keep them wet as can be and they will run for a long time. Ive only had 3 atties die on me in the last 4 months and 2 of them were my fault cause I was doing dry burns on em and went a tad to far LOL
In 9 months I've lost 4 - the first was a dry burn gone bad ;-) I lost two on a 5V not paying attention (2 in one day even - d'oh). And one was a bad switch on a Protege that kept burning after I set it down. None have died of 'old age'.
Yeah Kent they really are durable and cause of all the juices I mix I have to switch often so I have about 16 on rotation and after a week or two I usually give them a CPH Crest Pro Health soak, rinse with hot water and then about 20 minute soak in Vodka, blow out and let dry then its another 2 weeks. I like fresh atties for testing.
