Here's some #'s to help simplify all the electrical terminology:
with standard joye 510 atty:
3.7 v @ 2.4 ohms = 5.7 watts
4.2 v @ 2.4 ohms = 7.35 watts (fresh charge)
5.0 v @ 2.4 ohms = 10.4 watts
6.0 v @ 2.4 ohms = 15 watts
with Magnum Low Resistance atty:
3.7 v @ 1.5 ohms = 9.1 watts
4.2 v @ 1.5 ohms = 11.76 watts (fresh charge)
5.0 v @ 1.5 ohms = 16.66 watts
6.0 v @ 1.5 ohms = 24 watts (dead atty)
Most 18650 batteries will stay at or over 4 volts for a good while until they settle down to their rated power of 3.7. I put a fresh AW 18650 in my P. Woody last night and as of now it is still reading 4.07 volts, giving me 11 watts of power to the atty.
The main benefit as I see it is getting roughly 5 volt power from the magnum atty with just ONE protected battery...thus, the risk associated with stacking lithium batteries becomes unnecessary. So far, so good in real world performance too

Increasing Ohms to reduce power at higher voltage:
using a 4.5 ohms 510 HV atty:
6 volts @ 4.5 ohms = 8 watts (2 3.0 volt 123 batts)
7.4 volts @ 4.5 ohms = 12.17 watts (2 3.7 volt 123 batts)

3.7 v @ 2.4 ohms = 5.7 watts
