Prodigy V3 Performance at 6 Volts

Looking at them here, the max discharge rate looks pretty dismal on those. Based on the posted specs, they get overloaded even with a standard resistance atomizer.
If you're talking about the 1.6Ω dual coils, you'll be trying to pull almost 4 amps at 6V. You need high drain batteries. Plus, that's going to be a hot vape. Unless you like a really hot vape, you may not be that happy with it. I suppose you could try it with the LiFePO4 batts, but you'll probably get so much voltage sag, it won't be be much better than the 3.7V 17670 cell the Prodigy normally takes.

Thanks for the head's up. I'll post my results once my batteries arrive.

never tried them with the 3.7v, but im pretty happy with it at 6v. i tested it before under load, and i believe it was around 5.8v with a standard res atty. ive been using a standard 801 atty dripping, and i get huge clouds with it. like the 801 atty way more than 510 now, just need to cut the length down with a tubing cutter now
Have you ever tried the shorty 801 atty? They are about the same length as a 901. Check out Ikenvape's site. He also sells the Cannon with has 510 threads but is as big around as a shorty 801.

First, The V3 kicks .... with DC's at 6V using AW LiFePO4's. I don't like Tenergy batteries. Never tried them, but I am suspicious they may not provide enough current.
Second, Iken's Cannon is different from both 510 and 801. More flavor than 510, less than an 801. I use one occasionally. Still prefer BE 112's.

Mine kicks azz at 6V with the 2 3v lifepo4s. 6V was just way too strong for me.............I like it just under 5
That would be what I expect. The LiFePO4 batts have much higher internal DC resistance. Considering they come off the charger at 3.6V and are 3.2V nominal, that's a big drop. Assuming nominal voltage, that's a 1.2 volt drop at 2.5A which implies ~500mΩ. That would be ~250mΩ per battery which is even higher than a NiMH batt. An ICO 18650 has around 50mΩ internal DC resistance. An IMR 18650 has around 25mΩ
Oh, and BTW, if using the 1.6Ω dual coils, I calculate 1.6V sag with the LiFePO4 batts and the numbers above. That would be 4.8V on the cartomizer. Like I said, not a whole lot more voltage than the 17670 the Prodigy also takes. Plus, the 17670 has much higher energy density and wastes a lot less power internally so you get much longer run times.
