i was wondering when it comes to batteries, does it matter what i use? i would like to use an alkaline 6V battery as a prototype. is a 6V just a 6V or are there differences that could mess up the atty? thanks.
Planning to make a mod, quick question...

Alkalines may work for testing purposes, but they do not seem to last very long. I recall some discussion about the chemistry of an alkaline which does not permit the necessary current needed to properly run an atomizer. My experience with alkalines has been pretty poor. I have used them just to test that voltage is flowing proerly through the mod. I would think you should purchase some lithion-ion rechargable batteries to get the best use from your new mod.
There are no 6V alkaline batteries and there are no 6v li-ion batteries that you can use for a mod.
The only alkalines you can use are 1.5v and are not rechargeable, you would need at least 3 batteries to make an atomizer work, 4 if you want 6v.
Li-ion batteries are either 3.0 or 3.6 volts which is the "normal" voltage required for an atomizer.
I very rarely recommend someone not to make a mod, but in this case I have to.
Obviously you have a long way to go before trying to make a mod, my suggestion is that you read through the threads in the battery mods area.

The only 6V batteries are "lantern" flashlights (which are really just a box with 4 alkaline cells inside) and 2CR2 battery packs, which are two lithium primaries in a single package (or sometimes two Li-Ion's with a voltage regulator). There aren't any single cells that produce 6V.

All battery has lifepo4 3v cr123s, they're nice, but their peak voltage is around 3.6v per, so your 6v mod will actually be 7.2v on a full charge. I'd really recommend looking into a voltage regulator, preferably a boost, and just using a big protected battery like an 18650 or an 18500.
