Regular 510 atty's with high voltage batteries?

[goodtimes]

First, I'd like to welcome myself to the forum!

Okay, on to my question. After a few weeks of using a generic ecig from the local convenience store my wife and I upgraded to the standard Joye 510 kit. It was hit and miss until we discovered the clear tank cartridges (SmartCarts) with blue foam, at which point we really found our groove. Recently, however, I've been liking the idea of a bigger battery. I'm leaning strongly toward the E-Power kit. Since we have a stock of standard 510 attys, I'd like continue using those. Will the higher voltage of the E-Power battery shorten the life or otherwise harm a standard 510 atty? If not, will I get similar performance out of the 510 attys to what I'm getting now (vapor volume, flavor, etc.)?

Thanks!

It will not harm your attys...actually you will notice a better vape. More vapor..better throat hit. I used reg 510's at 6 volts for quite some time. Still do and at times. prefer them to HV attys.

The only thing you will experience , is better vapor , and more of it . It will not shorten your carto's , in any way . And on the plus side , you won't be running to the battery charger, every hour .

Correct me if I am wrong but Epower is not high voltage - I thought it was 3.7 volts? 3.7v is the top of standard power. It will give some extra heat to standard resistance atomizers and cartomizers and you can also use the hotter low resistance attys and cartos (which you cannot use on slim 510 - LR can damage slim batteries)

High voltage is generally 5-6 volts.

I haven't tried clear tank carts, but I use blue foam in regular 510 carts to hold more juice. When I switched to a Riva 510 750 from little 180 mAh batts, I noticed the flavor is stronger, but burns easier if juice is not flowing properly. Whereas I used to hold the button for a good 4 seconds on the 180 batts, I have to let go the Riva button sooner. At times I miss the longer drag on the little batts. The little 180 batts worked for me, but I got tired of the charging marathon. I'm not a fan of TH though.

You're correct, the E-Power is 3.7v.

I'm a little concerned with more heat just because that burning taste you get when the wick gets dry is the single biggest source of frustration. It occurs significantly less frequently since we started using the clear tanks with the foam, but it still happens. Overall, it sounds like it may be worth the tradeoff.

Thanks guys!

He is talking about clear cartomizers
I recommend attys for testing juices and dripping thicker juice (only drip on manual battery setups_
I recommend cartomizers for your favorite thinner juices - I use Boge 510 standard resistance (2.8-3.2ohm) plain old stuffing cartomizers on my 3.7v devices (partly because I share the cartos with my slim 510 and slim 510 cannot use the lower ohm ones). Some people prefer the hotter Boge 510 2.0 ohm ones which also use your charge faster and would be less forgiving of not being kept damp enough. And if you can find them, there are medium 2.5 ones.

boge 510 are the most popular cartos on 510 threaded devices and must most consistent than atty+cart. Plus no need to clean attys

5V+ on Regular 510 Attys = Vaping Bliss

The 510 atties are great at HV. I bought a few to use with my Darwin to try dripping. I've become a dripping convert, and love the standard ones (not LR, HR, etc.) for that - lots o' vapor and TH. Winning!

Were you referring to me? If so, I was talking about just the clear tank (eg THIS) used with a standard 510 atomizer.

3 ohm Boge 510 cartos at 6v and I get instant burnt metal taste... but suspected that would be the case so used one on it's way out.
The same are just fine with 3.7v on whatever device I've tried (Little Gem, Copper, Screwdriver, Mini Copper).

Also tried my 1st LR cartos today (Boge 2.5 ohms) and they're like 6v vaping (using a HV 3.4 ohm Boge). Can't understand why anyone would need to go lower than 2.5 though.

I took one of the fittings from a dead battery and wired it up to a USB plug to use with a 1500ma power supply from ebay with variable voltage choices. Sticking a variable resistor in aswel means control over both the voltage and current. I've found the sweet spot for me with 510 standard attys is 4.5 volts, and it draws about 1200ma. Things taste a bit funny as the voltage goes up imo.

I agree wwturner! Keep your atty WET tho...

That seems to be the rule of the day regardless of atty, battery, voltage, etc. I figured out pretty quickly that dry atty's are bad news.

Actually...everyone says to keep attys wet. I dry burn them using http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/69834-my-atty-resurrection-method.html, quickest way to clean but takes practice at first. The attys are bone dry when cleaned. I haven't lost an atty yet since they came with a kit 2 months ago (knock on wood).

When vaping though, it's a different matter. Make sure they're wet then.
