quick 5 volt question:

[obrian93]

Just so I'm 100% clear on this:

The bulk of higher voltage batteries/passthroughs are, in fact, driving the same 3.7v attys I'm using now, and they're just getting much hotter much faster?

Assuming my first bit of assuming is rightly assumed: the life of the atty would then be reduced by about half. Is this so?

Very curious about this whole business. Thanks (and thanks for this whole goldmine of information).

There is a shorter life span using attys at HV but well worth the advantage of getting much more vapor and a more satisfying experience.

It is impossible to tell how long any atty will last.

Yes, you will use more attys and more juice too..

Well worth the extra cost IMO..

Its all a matter of opinion.

Is it worth it to me? No..

I actually enjoy a much more relaxed type of vape......

Long inhale.. enjoying the flavour and the vapour.......then exhale..

This I get perfectly well from a 3.7v combined with an 801 atty. We are all different, we all like different things.

The Vapor is soooooo much better it is well worth it.

I have vaped at 5 volts and 6 Volt for the past 2 1/2 months or so and I will never go back to 3.7 volt.

At 6 volt I did seem to burn through a few atty fast. To me the 6 volts never tasted good.

I use 5 volt exclusively now and my atty still last a month or more. 5 Volts dosen't seem to have a burnt taste- maybe that is why my attys are lasting longer at 5 volts.

The 8$ atty can burn out at any time.

Hobbiest not a Manufacturer

If you have a 6V device, can you just put different batteries in it to make it a 5V?

At present there are no 5v batteries.
So no you cant do it..

5v is achieved by using a combination of 2 batteries at 3v ea or 3.7 ea and the 5v is achieved by using a resistor or regulator.

5v is the perfect vape as far as Im concerned.. It is an opinion but until you try, you'll never know..

Personally I think the higher voltage makes the atty work better but maybe not longer. Back when I used to use 3.7 my atties always got clogged up and it didn't take long either. On 5 and 6 volts my atties never seem to get clogged..the last drag is as good as the first.

Thanks for the clarification, Doots. I always wondered what a resistor did.

I hope it's true that the atty's get less clogged with higher voltage!

No Problem.

I find the clogging issue is much less also when vaping at HV..

Thank you all for the replies! Looking forward to giving HV vaping a go.

I absolutely LOVE vaping at 5v. Unfortunately though I have not had any luck with it and my 801s. (all homebrewed mods) I've been told that the 510s can handle a lot more punishment, but have not had a chance to try it. Still waiting for my connectors and adapters.
