I never understood the point of any voltage above 5V

[paulw2014]

IMHO, and from the experience of many others, it seems 5V gives plenty of power and strength, even for a resistor of 2.4 Ohms. Also, you can get even more power by using a lower resistance resistor. Beside, I don't even vape at 5v most of the time because it has a tendency to get dry hits. Therefore, I don't see why some PV offer voltage at 6V or above. Can someone tell me the benefit of that? It seems to me all that power is an overkill when the wick has limitations on rate of juice replenishment, which can lead to dry hits. thanks

it's all subjective. People want more flavor, people want more vapor. Those two are the common reasons for higher voltage (power)

There are certain attachments out there that are above 3 ohms. I personally haven't used any of these, but Grimm green on YouTube mentions certain attys he has that require a mod that gets up to at least 6V for a good vape

Some people like warmer Vapes, and getting dry hits from tanks or cartos may be more of a wicking issue.

I suppose it's more for rebuildables where there is a lower tendency of dry hits.

I tend to forget that people use rebuildables on VV mods. Good point.

Wonders why my VV is set at 3.6v with a rebuildable on it. (OH, and no dry hits)

Vaping at a certain voltage won't necessarily give "plenty of power and strength." You should be calculating the wattage that you're vaping at. That's the value that's important. Everything else is a matter of battery life, heating lag with your coil, and other factors.

You do know that 99.9% of mechs are 3.7v devices, right? Does that .1 difference really mean you are going to get dry hits? Better start checking other aspects.

Mechs are battery dependent unless kicked so 4.2ish fully charged and drops as it goes.

True, but 4.2 fully charged lasts for about 5-10 minutes IMO with standard aw imr batts. It lingers around 3.7-3.5 for most of the charge cycle before quickly dropping off and signaling it needs a recharge. I can usually tell when it goes below 3.5 by flavor alone. This is just my personal experience with the batteries that I use.

i stick to 4V and a 2.1Ohm clearo and it works great for me...on my e-go twist i love going up and down the voltage range to experience different nuances of flavor and throat hit...all the way up at 4.8 it tends to be a little too hot i really dont see needing to go up much higher than that i get great clouds

I've used a bunch of Boge cartos at 2 and 3 ohms. I find these puppies allow a lot of power without giving burnt hits as long as you keep the coils wet. I get close to 5 volts regularly with the 2 ohm Boges and when they get to end of life I take them over for a while to prolong life for a bit. With the 3 ohm I rarely go below 5 volts. Hope this helps.

Lol i was just vaping a2 ohm boge f16 carton tank with mbv hazle nut coffie at 5volts!

Taste like warm coffie
