HV510 atty question

[mikecup]

I have a problem. I have an Omega.
For the first time I installed 2 tenergy protected 750mah 3v rcr123
batteries. I installed a Hv510 atty. I have a digital volt meter that screws into bat connector
it reads 6.7 v. I dry fired the atty once for a few seconds, it glowed nice and crackled like new.
Then I installed cart with PTB, went to vape and nothing happened atty was dead, I tried another HV atty,
I did the same procedure, second one died. The Omega works fine with the 18650 bat. So its not the device
I don't want to fry any more HV atty's. Is the dry burn the problem, or is it the batteries?

yea dont dry burn at high volts ... i dont blow attys on my v3 when i have the same setup but try adding around 5 drops first and taper off to 3or 4 from there on out .. just keep it wet with any mod with 6 volts plus battery power.. your going to go through alot of juice hints it cooks it in the atty faster at high voltages ...

Thanks lawman
I tried it again dripping about 5 drops onto atty.
I'm a cart user so this dripping is going to take awhile to get used to.
Lots of gurgling, yes I know its flooded but at least the atty is working, oh well I fried 2 at $3 each, live and learn.
6v is different for sure, its going to take some practice on how not the flood the atty.
