I didnt realize I would need a HV Atomizer for the 6v. Can i get a link to a recommended one?
You don't have to use a HV atomizer. You might want to use a HV atomizer. It all depends on your personal preference.
Voltage and resistance determine current and current through a resistor produces watts/heat. So it depends on the heat you prefer.
Here's a link to one of many Ohm's laws calculators. You can plug in a voltage and a resistance and it will tell you the current it would draw and the watts produced.
Ohm's Law Calculator
You basically have 3 choices for battery power.
3.7v that your 18650 will give you. Those charge up to about 4.2 volts and quickly drop to 3.9/3.8v. You can vape down to something like 3.5? volts where it cuts off I think. So for these batteries you might want to plug in 3.9v or 4v into the calculator.
The 3v batteries you have will charge to 3.6v and you're not supposed to run them down lower than 2.5v or something. Note: there is no protection circuit built into the battery to shut them off. The charger will stop charging them at 3.6v but there is nothing to stop you from discharging them below the minimum voltage. If you run them down below 2.2v or something like that there is a very good chance they won't take a charge again and they're ruined. I assume you will notice the dramatic reduction in performance as you go below 3v. With these batteries you could plug maybe 6.5 into the calculator.
If you use 2 3.7v CR123s then you'd be generating more than 7v and you'd put that in.
Now you can choose atomizers... by resistance.
LR atomizers -- 1.5 to 1.8 ohms
Joye 510 atomizers -- 2.2 to 2.4 ohms
Other 510 atomizers -- 2.5 ohms?
901 atomizers and KR808D cartomizers -- 3.0 to 3.3 ohms
HV atomizers -- 3.5, 4.5, 5.2? whatever ohms.
Plug these resistances into the calculator and you can do a relative comparison of watts (heat) and find a combination that's to your liking. Some people like some juices hotter and some cooler, PG vs VG, drip vs cartomizers, etc.
There are limits. I would not expect a LR atomizer to last very long at all at 6v. If it didn't burn out immediately I would expect it to burn the juice rather than vaporize it
Regular 510s may or may not do so well at 6v either. I seem to get a solid 3 or 4 days out of my 901s at 6-7v although I suspect I'm rather hard on them. There does seem to be a huge variance in atomizer life. Some only last a day or less and some way more than a week and I think I'm using them all about the same... Here is a chart I copied from somebody's thread on here (hope they don't mind my posting it again). A whole lot of people seem to find a Joye 510 at 5v to be their sweet spot. You could use that as a sort of reference point for watts and go from there. The chart gives you some sort of reference for how much difference something might make. It's all personal preference, the juice you prefer, etc.
An inexpensive digital multimeter is a useful investment to measure your batteries, check you charger, measure atomizer resistance (yes, they vary a bit from one to the next) and you can use it for all sorts of other things around the house
(that thumbnail didn't work out so well. maybe an img -- drat, that didn't seem to work at all ... oh wait! there it is haha)
