Question for you high volt users?

[nordoe]

I just got my first 6v mod, the indulgence. It tastes great when I drip on the HV atomizer that it came with. Problem is, I am not a dripper. I have on hand 2.6 to 2.8 clearomizers and 3.0 to 3.2 clearomizers. Both give a really harsh burnt taste. What do you guys use on your HV mods?

 

[Nomoreash]

I wouldn't go below 3.5 ohm with anything single core at 6v, that's still slightly above 10 watts.

The clearomizers run hot anyway, my 3.0 clearos can start to burn at just at or over 5v, they do make a 3.5ohm clearo which I haven't tried and suspect even those would be really hot or burn at 6v.

The do make a 2.5ohm Dual Core carto meant for HV vaping which might be worth a try at 6v.

There are a ton of 6v users, do they all use hv attys?

Heyas nordoe,

Madvapes has a number of cartos in the 4Ω - 5Ω range. You might try those. As stated earlier, ce2 types seem to burn easily for me. You might try a normal carto at ~4Ω. That would give you about 9w of power throughput at 6v.

thanks guys, I appreciate all your help.

What he said.

And, if you're stacking two rcr123as (16340s) to get 6 volts, you're probably getting a fair bit more than six when they first come off the charger. (I think those are 3.5 or 3.6 volts hot off the charger- soemthing like that, anyway) So in your six volt vape, you're really looking at 7 volts to start.

7 volts into 3 ohms is...16 watts, maybe?? (No calculator handy. But about that.)

I've really never vaped about 12 watts, and even that, I didn't care for. 10ish is pretty ideal for me. Anything about that gets really hot and intense.

Best,
Ande

I have never used the Smok Tech carts, I assume there is polyfill in them?

Yes, polyfill.

I use about a 4 ohm carto/tank on my 7.4 volt, nice hot vape

 

[hairball]

I use either Boge 3.0ohm cartos or 1.6ohm dual coil cartos at 5-6V.

 

[hawkizefan]

I agree with hairball on the dual coils.

 

[nordoe]

I tried dc once, it was the ego dc clearomizers. I didnt like them at all, but I know they are not the same. I think that I am gonna try a few differnt types for the hv.

Remember if you are stacking batteries in an unregulated device using 2 3V LIFePO4 batteries you are probably starting out a bit higher than 6 volts when you first put in the batteries. My AWs come off the charger just over 3.3 volts. That is going to fry most cartos under 3.0.

I test drove the 4, 4.5 and 5 cartos from madvapes and they all performed well a 6+ volts.
