Safe voltage for attys

[t3hp00ky]

I've seen people talking about 6v mods, and I know USB pumps out 5v, but what is really safe? Too much would fry the atty right? So what is actually safe? Has anyone gone over the 6v range yet?

5 volts is the best
in my opinion 6 volts taste burnt to me
most of the moders here use 5 volts some use 6
I know for a fact that 901 attys dont like HV

So 5v is a good range to do mods at? I was just wondering if I could hook a 12v bat up and start vaping away or if that would just blow my atty.

5v has been by many, to be the "sweet spot". It used to be the easiest way to hit that was to use a booster/regulator to get to 5v. Now with the increase in HV atty availability it sometimes makes sense to just do 6v or 7.4v and use a HV atty to bring the wattage back down to the 5v equavilent. If you haven't seen Ralph T's great chart showing different voltages with different attys here it is: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/71422-atomizer-battery-watts-chart.html

Oh and to answer your initial question, I'm using a pv right now running at 7.4v with a HV atty. Also keep in mind that depending upon how you're powering a usb device it might not be 5v (for instance through your computer).

I like the price of the reg. 510 atty
for the price of a HV atty I can make a 5 volt mod
