So I have a Chuck that I run a 3.7v all the time.
I love it and it is perfect for me.

I tried 6v vaping but it makes my juice taste burnt unless I take really short drags.
I don't like short drags, I like taking big long drags, at the very least 5 seconds.

Then I got an LR 510 and just tried it on my Chuck.
Well, it most certainly does simulate high voltage vaping.
:)

If I took a drag longer than 3 seconds my juice tasted nasty.
I have been trying all day, and the result was consistent for me.

Then my wife says, hey, why don't you try that on your stock 510 batteries.
Well, I have read many times that these should not be used with such batteries.
But I have never really seen it discussed as to why that is.

Anyway, I figured I have 30 510 stock batteries I hardly ever use unless I am going out.
So if I blow one out trying it, big deal.

Now here's the problem...

I LOVED the LR atomizer on my stock 510 180mah batteries.
They simulated using a regular 510 atomizer on my Chuck at 3.7 volts.

I am sad when I have to use my stock 510s anymore, because of the dropoff from what I'm used to.
But using the LR atomizers on them I don't have to suffer any dropoff from my Chuck anymore!!

So the question is, why should I not do this?

Thanks!

I don't know why the limitation on mAh - makes no sense to me because the combination of volts and ohms are the only consideration on current, Not how long a battery lasts.

That said, I use LR attys on megas and have used them on regular batts as well with no ill affects and an enhanced vapor like you've experienced. The lower mAh batts, of course, will need charging earlier.(likely the reason for the restrictions but I assumed you already knew that ;-) I burnt out 2 regular 510 atty on a 5V Bart in one day by not paying attention. And have burnt out a few LR's on the 3.7v Bart as well. There's virtually no problem with 10440 batts with the LRs and I think ScottBee reported burning out two TorneGo batts with the LR 510 at 1.5ohm. There are newer SLB 2.0 ohm 510's now and I have some on order. SLB isn't my favorite 510 though. We'll see.

The 3.7V battery you use in your Chuck is a true 3.7V. The 510 battery is more like 3.2V.

Also, a battery's voltage is a range. A true 3.7V battery starts out at 4.2V fully charged, gradually dropping down to around 3.2V before demanding to be recharged. A high mAh battery stays at closer to 4.2V for longer than a low mAh battery.
