HV atty on a KR808 PT?

[tokengirl]

What happens if you use an HV atty on a non-HV unit?

The only 901 atty I have is HV, and I've been using it on my KR8PT. Just wondering if this is... ok?

Volts and ohms n such has always been over my head so I have no idea the consequences of this combo.

not trying to be over your head, but the HV atty has a higher resistance. basically it will put out less heat and may change the taste of your liquid. ive never tried a hv atty on a low volt device but if anything i would think it would be less stress on batteries or PT. so, not harmful but maybe cooler vapor and less flavor

Thanks pirate, not over my head at all. So if I gather correctly, its safe to use this way just not desirable in the enjoyment aspect.

exactly, if anything, it puts less stress on your low volt device since they are made for high volt devices. now putting a low resistance atty on a high volt device is a different story, but the atty would blow before any damage to the battery in that case.

Please try it and tell us how it goes?

I blew a normal 901 atty on my KR808 PT (mostly my fault didn't keep it wet enough). The KR808 PT is supposed to be 5 volts.

I ordered a few LR 901's which will never see the pass through aside for burn ins.

the kr808 pt is 5 volts? i didnt know that i thought it was 3.7. if its 5 volt then the HV atty on it would be roughly the same heat output as vaping a regular atty at 3.7v. so either way it shouldnt hurt the passthru or the atty

I believe there are 5v and 3.7v passthroughs.

Or it could all be in my mind.

I have two passthroughs from V4L, the newer gen one definitely hits harder than the other (when plugged into the AC through a powered USB hub, my computer doesn't seem to handle the PT on it and I rather short a cheap USB hub than my desktop).

Here's a thread on it.

From a computer USB port they seem to put out the same but worse than the stock 3.7 batteries.

Can't find the exact voltage from V4L but found this.

Descriptions says full 5v's so I'm guessing the newer ones are 5v's.

If you don't have enough power going to the USB port I think the atty will be underpowered.
