So tell me about 5 volt ?

[kgeiger002]

I pretty much have only been vaping 3.7 v (Riva/Egos) I drip into 510 attys - prefer 2.0 to 2.2 resistance...The TH and flavor are great. So what makes 5 volts so much better to many? Is it more flavor and TH? I'm already getting plenty of vapor so that would not sway me.

If someone can just enlighten me? ... what's their impressions on the two voltages and what dictates preference I'd be much obliged? I'm assuming 5v gives a better TH. What about flavor? Specifically with FSUSA's Wyatt Earp (My everyday vape).


Just curious? - Thanks

Specifically 5 volts will be a bit hot IMO , I run at 4.6 - 4.8 volts ( I tried Wyatt and it liked 4.7 volts or so ) 5 volts was too hot for me .
Rule of thumb higher voltage = less flavor over 4.3 volts or so . we have tested this a LOT ( voltage vs flavor ) the best flavor for individual juices varies but over all 4.5 volts tended to be the avg. sweet spot for most juices.

More vapor and throat hit basically... at the expense of some flavor.... and higher voltage sucks juice quicker as well.

IMO however 5v is the sweet spot for high voltage vaping... mainly with 2.5-3 ohm atomizers. 6 volts is a bit too much for me.

5v gives warmer vapor with better TH.Not hot like 6v.

It's not the voltage alone, but the combination of voltage and resistance. A 3.7 battery with a 2 ohm atomizer/cartomizer, or a 5v battery with a 3.0 to 3.2 ohm atomizer/cartomizer both provide somewhat warmer vape and more th than say a 3.7 battery with a 3.0 to 3.2 atty/carto.
voltage*voltage/resistance = watts, and it is wattage that gives better information on what to expect from the vape. Most consider the sweet spot to run between 5 and 8 watts, generally between 6 and 7 overall.
