It is a PV's power (measured in watts) that determines the intensity of the vape. Many vapers consider 6-8 watts to be the "sweet spot" (although you might prefer something higher or lower).
And power is derived from the battery's voltage (volts) and atomizer's resistance (ohms), per this formula:
5 ohms on 6V yields 7.2 watts of power. [Yummy!] 4.5 ohms on 6V: 8 watts. 4 ohms: 9 watts.
None of those attys really are appropriate for 7.4V. For example, the 5 ohms would yield 11 watts.
[NOTE: When matching atomizer resistance with battery voltage, the amps current (which can burn out atomizers) should also be considered. However, none of these attys on 6V would be a problem. There would be more strain on 7.4V, but still not at alarming levels. See this article for the relevant formula for current and more on volts/ohms/watts/amps and HV and LR atomizers.]
