LR vs 5-6 volts

You will get a difference of opinion on this topic. I have used both and I believe there is a definite difference. A good 5 volt PV provides a better and more "consistent" throat hit than an LR atty on a small battery PV. There is nothing wrong with using LR attys, mind you. But I find that they don't hold up as long and deteriorate more quickly than a standard atty on a 5 volt PV. Plus you can't use LR attys on small battery PV's as they either won't work at all or kill the switch. Plus they drain any batteries much faster than standard attys. But depending on your set-up and your particular needs, they may work just fine for you.

its pretty simple really......It just depends on how many WATTS you want to vape at. The more watts(heat) the more vapor you will create and at different wattage's the juice will take on different flavors. I would recommend never vaping under 4.5 watts and never over 12 watts. I would say most people sweet spot lay's somewhere in between that. The higher the wattage the hotter the coil is getting and the more stress you are putting on it, in theory the shorter its life span. But its just a crap shot really. Cisco Attys always hold up and last a long time for me. here is a cart to help you out.

I love LR cartomizer or the dual coil cartomizers paired up with an 18650 battery. I also love dual coils and standard resistance cartomziers paired up with my 5v mod. As far as atomizers go, I find a LR 901 atty again paired up with a long life 18650 a lovely vaping experience and just as satisfying at my 5v vape. They all have their place and time for me. It's all about what YOU like...so try EVERYTHING. 
When you say "MV" what are you referring to? I use mini-801 and BE112 atomizers and 801 cartomizers about 95% of the time on my variable volt Darwin. I used the same set up on my two 5 volt PV's. I also use a 510 Storm Tank from time to time.
Some people love the LR attys. And if my only option was to vape at 3.7 volts (under load, 3.2 volts) I would be using LR atty's also. I've found that standard atty's hold up better (just my experience) and I don't want to be limited to only LR attys. Plus, as I said, I think there is better consistency with standard attys on a 5 volt or variable volt PV.
For the best throat hit, consistency and flexibility you can't beat a variable volt PV that uses regulated, boost circuit technology like the Darwin does and a few others. You can really open yourself up to different and sometimes a better vaping experience. I never like the 801 style atty on 3.7 volt PV's. But on a good 5 volt PV, such as the GLV2 or variable volt, like the Darwin, I find the BE112/801 or the mini-801, provides a much better vaping experience than the 510. Good, consistent throat hit but not hot, just warm.

Ya but you are using a Darwin where you are setting your wattage. so it really doesn't matter what resistance your atty's are at because your Darwin is just gonna auto adjust the voltage to get you at the wattage you set. So to you, on the Darwin it doesn't really matter what resistance your atty is. But to someone who doesn't own a Darwin they have to match their attys to different voltage's to get the wattage they want
I agree. But when I used 5 volt PV's, I found that the 801 type atty (about 3.0 resistence) was very nice where as the standard 510 was too hot. But even with the Darwin and being able to set it to different wattages, attys vape different because of how they are made and their "air flow" properties. I still prefer an 801 or 901 type atty over the 510.
I agree why anyone would use a 510 atty on anything is beyond me. 901 is better in so many ways. But if your thread is 510, you can still use a 306 atty which is comparable with the 901 IMO
my wife prefers LR cartos, while I prefer a higher voltage @ a 3ohm (or more) carto, she like the way mine hits, but it's not uhmm.. "pretty enough", or it looks like you're suckin on a peice of pipe. bah, who cares what it looks like.
I highly prefer HV over LR. I use a Provari, so I'm always between 4.8-5.5 depending on liquid. I use Ikenvape HV atties. Much more flavor/vapor/throat hit.
I think LR does a DECENT job of emulating high voltage though, just not perfect. On my girlfriends Riva, we ONLY use LR. Standard resistance atties at 3.7v just don't do it for us anymore.

There are a few on ECF that are more concerned with "looks" over performance and I'm talking about guys, not the ladies. I have no time for that level of foolishness.
yup, there are, but I'm not one to care much about what people think of my looks. if I cared how I looked, I'd probably be dead, not here at this moment.
to each his own.- Status
