One sure advantage I find is that with the LR atty's, you don't have to stack 3 or 3.7 volt batts.
This is true! How ever you still don't get a tue warm 6v throat hit! More like closer to 5 but not quite that either! And also i might add 2 LR attys using a 18650 battery only lasted about 2 1/2 weeks !!! So until the price goes down i'll stick with my HV! i have stock 510 attys thay i use at 6v's going 4 months now! HOPE THAT HELPS

I just tried 6v vaping for the first time Saturday on my BB. Untill then it was 3.7 regular or 3.7 with LR atty.
6V is no comparison. Heavy, heavy hits with tons of vapor. I would need 24 mg certain times for that needed hit and old jones. 6v with 24 makes my head spin. I can now drop down to 10mg with no problem. Soon I'll be nic free and it will be due to 6v.
I still switch up and use them all, but at least for now I will not have to buy anymore 12 buck LR attys.

Thanks Redrhino. Since Saturday I seem to be in a daze sometimes. Nicotine Buzz....way more than that. I forgot to mention a sometimes throat cough when inhaling to much. Haven't had that since quitting analogs. This 6v stuff can get addicting.
That's good news! I ordered a Chuck last month and am expecting any time now. I have two 3v batts for 6v vaping and also 2 HV atty's waiting for my newborn baby. Are you using HV atty's at 6v or regular ones? I'm already in love with my LR atty's, and if 6v is all it's cracked up to be I'll be a happy camper.
The true measure of how a PV setup performs is watts. This is the amount of heat generated by the atty, and it is directly related to both the voltage of the battery(s) and the resistance of the atty. Here is a chart I made to help you find the watt rating for various atty/battery configurations. Once you've found a configuration that you like, you can use the chart to determine how other configurations will compare watt-wise. The cells shaded magenta and gray are too high (>13W) and too low (<2.5W) respectively. The three voltages for each battery setup are minimum, nominal and maximum.

1 Battery VS 2 Batteries I guess is the biggest advantage. Also people that cant afford a 6v device can get a taste of what HV is like, although it isn't quite a real 6v experience.
But LR attys are not quite the same as 6v vaping.
I don't care anymore for 6v but LOVE 5v... 6v is a little too much for me, but there are those that love it!

Okay so from the looks of it, my regular 510's might get a little too hot in my Chuck at 6v. I may try it once to see how it is, thanks for the helpful chart!The true measure of how a PV setup performs is watts.

Well now, looking at the chart: a 1.5ohm LR atty with a 3.7v batt gives you 9.13 watts while a 4.5ohm HV atty at 6.0v gives you 8.00 watts... therefor LR atty's and a 3.7v batt should be better then HV atty's @ 6.0v.
LR atty's FTW!

I have read a lot on the LR attys and it seems that the life of the LR atty is much shorter than a standard 510. I'm doing a comparison with 2 of my pv's that are exactly the same. using them one at a time until the atty craps out to see which last longer. I just started today so it may be a while before I report back.
I ordered a few earlier. Now I almost want to buy a multimeter so I can test the resistance of them when they arrive. I wonder if they will be 1.5Ω like the nHaler LR atties or if they will have more resistance to increase the lifespan. Since the eGo/Tornado has a 3.1V battery we would get 6.4W with a 1.5Ω atty. That's compared to 4.2W with a normal 2.3Ω 510 atty.
It's not quite 8-10W (the so-called 'sweet spot'), but I'm not even sure if I would like that much power. I got to try the LR atties from nHaler for a while and I think the power was about perfect if not a little too much for some flavors. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before they were all dead so I didn't get to test them out as well as I would have liked. Hopefully the Janty ones will last longer.
Sorry to hear about your Nhaler atty's. I ordered 16, 12 for me and 4 for friends. Only one of them has died and it was my own fault, left it soaking for almost 2 days in alcohol. It never fired again.
I have read that using them, with the cone on the ego makes them die faster because the cone restricts air flow so they are running warmer. That is a good thing for a standard resistance atty but means an early death for a low resistance atty
I use stock joye 510 attys at 6vs all day on my big chucks
You gotta keep them good and wet! Sure i've blown a few attys ! SO what they are cheap compared to my tobacco habit! And 6vs with my coffee and afther meals is a must have for me !
