Yes, because they are pretty much the same thing.
My mom has the volt and v4l and occasionally still uses them. Carts, batteries, chargers are all interchangeable.
I really like green smoke red label tobacco and absolute tobacco and tobacco gold....i know wont get cigarette flavor which I definitely do not want...just a good tobacco flavor

I just got a Volt too, it is a Xmas gift for my step daughter but i tried it out to be sure it worked. It is about identical to my HAlo G6. I do notice a slight difference in the drag tho, it must be the air holes, I actually prefer Halo G6 for the inhale part, just a bit smoother, the Volt whistles just a bit. BUT I love their Volt 555, I thought it tasted great! ha ha Different taste buds I guess. I am saving the other flavors for my SD to try. ALso waiting for some Ms T's to include in her gift package, then off it goes for her gift! But I am going to get a sealed auto batt or two for myself, that is awesome they have that now. And it works with G6 cartos too which I have a bunch

A lower battery voltage does not mean a battery cannot handle a lower resistance atomizer or cartomizer. If anything, a lower battery voltage is generally preferable, as lower voltage means less current draw. What does matter is the current drive capability of the battery, and the maximum safe current for the electronics within the PV.
Fundamentally, the battery inside a PV has a maximum current draw rating,maximum discharge rate, the "C" number, where C is the capacity of the battery. If I have two 400 mAh batteries, one with a max discharge rate of 2C, the other with a max discharge rate of 5C, then the first battery can only provide a continuous 2x400 = 800 mA draw, while the second battery can provide sustained 5 x 400 = 2000 mA draw.
Now, many, if not all, PVs may go beyond that nominal C rating, since they are not really continuously "on", firing, but that gives a good starting point -- a battery with lower baseline C (capacity), or lower max discharge number before the C (say a 2 instead of a 5) is less able to drive a lower resistance.
The other aspect of low resistance, actually of higher current, is the current handling capacity of the electronics in a PV. Older eGos and Rivas, for example, had a MOSFET switch that was rated at 2 amps. Some MOSFETs could handle more current okay, but that was just due to production variability and engineering margin. That switch, and all of the voltage regulating stuff packed into the PV tube will have a maximum current rating -- driving beyond that rating may work, but it equally may lead to an early failure as you drive the electronics outside of their spec range.
Take a 1.7 ohm atty. Put it on an older eGo, driving 3.4 volts. 3.4/1.7 = 2 amps draw. You're within the spec of the MOSFET switch.
Take the same atty, put it on a 3.7V PV. Current draw = 3.7/1.7, or about 2.2A. If that second device has a 2A MOSFET switch it may work, but it may equally have an early failure.
Take the same atty, put it on a standard sized 180 mAh 510 battery, 3.4V. 3.4/1.7 = 2A, so the electronics may be fine if it has that 2A MOSFET switch, but since you've only got a tiny 180 mAh Capacity in the battery you are driving it very hard. You're pushing it at 11C (11 x 0.18 is about 2A), can expect to cook the battery, early failure.

Like like the 555 from SI too but the volt and V4L are pretty much the same battery why not just buy some of there cartos from V4l and try them. or maybe buy some juice and blank cartos and go that route. if you're going to buy another pv why not go with a different style pv like a riva or kgo

Is a ego or riva cigarette style? This is what I like best I am working on getting juice and cartos from v4l now
The Guy mentioned the halo above ....so this is compatible with the volt I take it based on what he said ....does anyone recommended halo cartos? I like not having the air holes on the carto so I don't suck so much air

Ego and riva are fat batteries. Not too big. But not cig sized. I think they are about as wide as a dime. Length? Not sure. But not huge.
eGo and Riva are "fat batt" PV, normally with a 510 connector (though you can also get Riva with a 901 connector). They are thicker and a bit longer than, say, a standard 510 or KR808D-1 battery. Riva from Liberty Flights (their site has a link to their current Discount Code) is a good price point.
If you buy V4L cartos to use on an eGo or Riva, you will need a 510batt-808carto adapter, a little mechanical widget. Liberty flights sells them, as does good prophets and many other places.

I feel like I'm sucking too much air through carto holes does v4l have them as well?
Looking at blank wow v4l cartos which allows you to choose a color....is the faux filter the one that looks like a analog filter?

Bloogplanet has the same cartos and possibly the same juices as SmokelessImage. Halocigs G6 may use the exact same cartos and may have some of their own well-loved tobacco flavors - I never looked. V4L - try the WOW Tobacco Shop carto sampler (where I found MY main tobacco) and there are some other tobacco carto samplers. And check what Cigeasy has for prefills. Prefileld sampler packs are probably the cheapest way to try a bunch of tobaccos that are suitable thickness for cartos.
I have 15 greensmoke cartos left so going to order some cartos today....sucks I cannot do one big order right now because Idk what I want
V4l discount codes?
Anybody try the new cigeasy gold cartos? It says they are larger can someone verify size?

I have 2 Volt sealed Auto's that vape perfectly, and 1 that vapes "airy". I still haven't figured out why. I just go with the flow, and use the airy one for hands free times like playing xbox. No airy-ness at all when it's held between the teeth and choking me with too much vapor at times lol.
I really don't like the airy ones but good point....when in playing mw3 it don't even cross my mind. Green smoke pulls minimum air only through the ash tip not the carto and tip like volt does. I'm just used to the harder pulling greensnoke which produces more warm vapor which I prefer....

Dice32 will give you 32% off anything at V4L and is good through 12/7 at 11 AM central time.
You enter it when you're checking out, at the bottom left where it asks for discount codes or something of the sort. That code is from an email I received from them yesterday.
