How old are the 510's that you've been using? I'm curious what the resistance is on them...
Actually I just received the 5 pack from Totally Wicked last week, and the HV atomizer I just used tonight was also received just last week as well. Both practically brand new
I bet your batteries PCB is being tripped. The link to the HV atomizers do not give the actually resistance, but even with a 5.2Ω atomizer at 6v your max drain is 1.15a, with a 4.5Ω atomizer your max drain at 6v is 1.33a. The max drain on the blue Tenergy 900mah batteries is <0.9a.
The max drain rate on a battery is figured by taking the mAh rating times the C rating and then dividing by 1000. The C rating is assumed to be 1, unless it states otherwise, like ultrafires with a 1.5c rating and AW LiFePo4 with a 10c rating.
I would suggest gettting theses for 6v vaping: AW LiFePO4 3 Volt Lithium Rechargeable Battery
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I think I will definitely look to buy a new brand, as these Tenergy batteries, at least in my personal experience, are too temperamental for my liking
Lots of people like the yellow Tenergy 750mah batteries cause they are Lifepo4 (safe chemistry) and do not have a PCB. But the max drain rate is even lower at <0.55a, so while they will not trigger a cut in current they are still well below the required max drain for HV vaping. I would go with the AW LiFePo4 that I linked, this way you will be sure not to exceed the max drain of the batteries.
Thanks a lot. I just ordered a few. Hopefully I will have better luck with them. Thanks for your suggestion

No problem, I hope it works out. In the mean time, one way to test if your PCB is being tripped is to try and use them, once they stop working, take them out and throw them on the charger, then immediately remove them (this should reset the PCB without having to wait), then put them back in your GG and they will probably only work for a short period again (PCB tripped again due to exceeding the max amp draw). This should validate if that is the cause of your problems, until you receive your AW batteries.
I just ordered a cheap Multimeter so when I get that I guess I will be able to really see what's going on. But I have 2 other brands of unprotected CR123 3.0V batteries which I don't use because we are told to only use protected ones on the GG...HOWEVER, I have tried them just to see if they work and both brands work just fine without the problems that the Transcend ones give me. So I am going to say it is definitely a problem being caused by this specific brand in my case anyway, so I think it's a good bet that a new brand should solve the problem. I do have a silver bullet too. I have used all 8 of my Transcend batteries in it in 6 volt mode with no problem whatsoever. Just the GGTS. Anyway it's ok as I think I will be retiring all of my Transcend CR123 batteries manufactured by them
