HR atty required on 5v passthrough?

[Knowone]

I just ordered a 5v 510 pass-through from MadVapes. It'll be my first device that runs higher than 3.7v.

But, now I just realized that I only have regular and low resistance 510 attys.

I know that I can't run the LR attys on the 5v device, but can I run the standard resistance attys? I'm pretty sure that they run at 2.2 ohms. I'll test them when I get home to make sure.

Looking at the Liberty-Flights site, I see that they sell 510 attys specifically for 5v devices, and those are 4.0 ohms. That's a big difference from the 2.2.

Can I use my 2.2 ohm attys? Or, should I order some HR attys to use with the 5v pass-through?

I've run my 2.4 omh atty's for almost 5 months on my 5VT direct PT without a problem if it happens to be the atty I'm using at the moment but they do get hot fast and you do have to pay attention and let them cool down. Do suggest that you do pick up some higher omh atty's for the 5 VT PT for the majority of your vaping time with it. My 3.5 omh attys work very well on it.

3.0-3.5 would be best at 5v/

Just remember that you don't have to hold the button the entire length of the draw. I'm using a 5V PT with an 2.8 ohm E2 at the moment. I hold the button about one second for a four second draw. That doesn't produce much vapor but loads of flavor. You can experiment a little to find your 'happy' point.

I've always just used my standard resistance attys with my 5V PT's and haven't had any problems. Like JD1 posted, you'll have to adjust the length of time you hold down the button for your draw. I think I hold mine down just a couple of seconds and I get loads of warm, delicious vapor. I've also used 3.0ohm CE2 cartomizers on them, but I've had mixed results with those. Sometimes they work fine and other times the juice tastes burnt. You'll just have to experiment to see which works best for you.

Hmm... I got my PT yesterday, and none of my attys work on it. They don't fire at all. I tried two type of attys, and two type of cartos.

The light on the end lights up, but the atty doesn't get hot.

Could the PT be defective, or is it possible that I'm doing something wrong?

I would think it's the PT. For the longest time I used regular attys on my GLV and never had a problem

I new to 5v as well and regular 510 atty was little to hot and killed the taste of main juice I like to vape. but it made waffle taste so good lol. Different juices will taste different with different ohm attys and volts. I got 3.0 atty now and my regular juice flavor came back. That why my next vaper going to be vv.

What are you plugging into. You need at least a 2 amp port. If you are using a computer usb it may not be providing enough power. More likely a bad PT.

could also be that the connections aren't connecting, try raising the middle connection a little.

A 2.8 ohm atty on a 5v passthrough works great for me.
About the same as an LR 1.5 ohm atty at 3.7v.
Both configurations are ~9 watts.
