I have a 510 and am planning on getting a 3.7v. Now I am wondering if I should go straight to a 5v because the 3.7 might not be that much of an improvement over the 510. Is there a big difference between a 3.7v and a 5v?
I can tell you as the owner of two 3.7V mods and from personal experience that there is a huge difference between a 510 and a 3.7V device when using LR atomizers. 5V vaping is another experience entirely from 3.7V. I like both, but for different reasons. Some juices might get a burnt taste at 5V, but I haven't had any taste burnt at 3.7. I still get nice warm vapor, the right amount of TH and the taste is fantastic.
Hi sweetpuff, I'd be happy to. But you need to know that these cartridges are hard tip cartomizers. They come in a pack of 10 only, and unless you are planning on purchasing 3 or more, the price is pretty steep.
Having said that Smoketip
I actually posted a review in the suppliers forum Which has a link for prices ect.
I ended up liking the coffee, almond, and chocolate the best...but I am still in my first order ever. Turns out the Menthol which I didn't like to begin with, has improved as my tastebuds improve, and the Clove is way too overpowering. They offer a variety of strengths including 0 mg/nic and they are all %100 PG. I only know this because when I first had a reaction, the CRS over there explained the possibility of being sensitive to PG and apologized that they offer only the %100 PG. {turns out it wasn't the PG but the nicotine level that I was sensitive to}
And i don't know if this is a byproduct of of the PG, but if I vape for any length of time, I need plenty of water or else my mouth, nose and throat get extrememly dry - but only when I vape too much, like now with the USB passthrough on a weekend day ;-)
If you don't find the information that you are seeking on the ST site, there is a help forum where you can ask for help, and it's been my experience that no matter what time of day or night, they get back to you almost immediately.
I hope this helps.

I've vaped at all power levels and the difference is very significant. More than just better throat hit is that 5 volt PV's just provide much more consistency to the vaping experience. And I have never had any problem with "burning" of juice at 5 volts. Now 6 volts is a different story. I have experienced that "burnt" taste at the 6 volt level. There is no comparison between the TH at 3.7v and 5 volts.
flora, in my limited experience, i have found a HUGE difference between my 3.7v kr8 and my kr8 5V passthrough! with the 5v, the vapor is much warmer, the flavor of juice more intense, and the TH w/ a few of the carts/juices is stronger as well. I find myself using the 5v in the car and at the computer all the time, and don't touch the 3.7 unless i'm out and about. THe only downside i've found is that 5v blasts through the carts about 3x faster than the 3.7v...which means a lot more refilling carts. I haven't tried a 510, so can't comment on that aspect.
a throat hit comes from juices made with alcohol or PG based juices or high mg nicotine content juices
I have to agree with dormouse, although there is no question that the warmth of the vapor and nic level and PG-VG ratio do indeed affect TH, they are not the only factor.
I have several liquids with the same nic level the same pg/vg ratio all used on the same unit, menthol flavors give more throat hit than some of the others.
Dont believe me?... try adding a drop or 2 of vodka to your cartridge or tank.. you will get more throat hit ( chuckle ) I tried that... and it was more than I was looking for.
The biggest factor in my experience is the PG/VG ratio… at 80-20 I get great TH, at 50-50 with the same nic level and the same unit, all TH is gone. However some flavors give it more than others even with the same PG/VG ratio.

Barely on the PGA or PG, maybe 2%. 98% comes from more power (bigger batteries) and higher nic strength.
If one has never vaped using a 5 volt or variable volt PV, there simply is no means to compare the throat hit provided with these devices against a 3.7 volt device. If one only vapes with mini or KR 3.7 volt PV's and uses nic strength at 4 - 6mg, it seems highly unlikely that what ever throat hit there may be can be compared to vaping with a 5 volt or VV PV using 24mg nic strength. To me it would be similar to someone stating that their car (a VW Beatle) has little pick-up and they want to get great pick up and their friend telling them to get a GEO instead of Camero.
wv2win...I don't have a mod, but have a 5v passthrough...do you think the experience is similar to a 5v mod? I've always wondered...maybe someone can tell me if the two give a similar vaping experience?
Been thinking about getting a mod, but not sure if it'll be any different from the PT.

That's a good question. In my experience with passthroughs (PT) and from reading what others have stated, I would say no. It's definitely much closer than 3.7 volt vaping. First with a PT, unless you are using a 5 volt/2 amp USB to AC wall adapter, you are not getting true 5 volt vaping. Your computer USB just doesn't put out that much power. I have also read that they use such cheap and small wires that it also degrades the experience. I think a good 5 volt or better yet, variable volt PV will give you better throat hit and more consistency than a PT.
