i have a ggtb although i enjoy vaping at 6 volts i would like to tone the voltage down for cartomizers. the only thing i have heard of is the terminator... if any one has any advice pls let me know. i am looking into the hv 901 attys.
toning down my 6 volts

Why not use 3.7v with royal smoker Ce2 carts best cart i'v used only problem is you only get 2 to 3 good ones in a pack but thier cheap enough and are as good as 901 or 510 l/r atty
soso,
Hey man, There is many different High Voltage attys you can buy that should tone down the voltage some. They seem to work quite well....
Another option would be going back to 3.7volts and use low resistance attys.... Witch simulate high voltage vaping... witch is also a good option...You get some pretty good battery life too if ya use a 17670 3.7v battery in your GGTB... with low resistance attys...
I dont use high voltage attys much, but I am sure someone here can recommended a specific kind....

i use the 3.0 ohms ce2 v 4. i love them but as you said 2 or 3 work well in the pack the rest have problems. which is why i wanted to tone it down a bit. guess i can't stand that they don't work to well. i tried them on my ego and still tasted nasty and harsh the others worked fine. i tried removing some of the plugs, that worked for a bit but flooding occurred. i like the warm hits off of the high voltage and the almost instant vape production so i don't have to drag as long.
the e2v4's steel also look great on my ggtb!
My friend got the Terminator. Seems a bit pricey for what it is but so far it's working perfectly for him.
thanks tim,
i really do appreciate your feedback i seen u helping a lot of ppl... i am very much considering moving to a 3.7 with low attys. i don't get much batt time on two 3 volts... my only concern was how long the lr attys last. but it seems better to buy a few more than carry around batts.
Im really excited about imeo's plans for an avs/afs for the ggtb. if it comes out ill be ecstatic!
Steel battery spring won't accomplish much at all.
As previous posters mentioned, a high voltage atomizer is your best/cheapest bet, short of a new mod. The increased resistance results in a decrease in power.
Fwiw, I find 4.5 to 5.5 volts with 3.2 ohm cartos to be the sweet spot, juice dependant

SOSO,
Have you tried 510 Empty Cartos from Liquidxpress they are great at 6 volts!! They come in at 3.2 ohm's which is perfect IMO.
Xpress 510 Cartomizers
Sosolidgold, you need to get the CE2R4 version 2 final release, 2.8-3.0 ohm XL = These work excellent but not at 6v. I have 2 terminators and they do work if you don't mind the extra length
Adding resistance does reduce power but also adds load which reduces battery life (think throwing an anchor overboard on a boat to slow it down instead of simply reducing power). The Terminator uses a pulse generated modulator (supposedly, haven't looked in detail yet) to decrease power which, in theory, will actually increase battery life.

Exactly JV,,, and they do work I have been using two of them on 2 different set ups, only downfall is the extra 1-1/2 or so they add to your unit.
you guys may want to double check if the terminator utilizes PWM.
here's my two cents, but take it from someone who once used cartos and now pretty much detests them. most if not all will run too hot at 6V and taste burnt, a combination of factors, but the inability to wick juice to the coil fast enough given the increased heat at higher voltages is probably chief among them. regardless, if this is your experience and you prefer 5V, go the other other way with a big 3.7V battery and a LR carto. the AW17670 in the GGTB or the AW18650 in the GGTS coupled with a LR carto rated at around 1.8 ohms will offer you greater runtime than two stacked RCR123 batteries, and certainly more than even smaller cells.
yes it's a fact that PWM could regulate the voltage rather efficiently and extend the battery life, and it's a fact that higher resistance means lesser load and greater runtime for the batteries, but when you're dealing with big boys like the 17670 and 18650 you'll get pretty much all day vape time or more with a LR setup, plenty of time between charges, cells with vastly improved energy densities, batteries that are fully capable of handling the amp draw, and you'll still be using an all mechanical, easy to diagnose device like the GG should any issues arise.

I'm talking about the battery spring "trick". Scrubbing power through heat is wasted energy.
I have had pretty bad luck with atties at 6.4V and 7.4V. I wonder if it would pay to make the GGTS out of less conductive materials as a way of limiting voltage. Do people with other devices made from say steel find atties last longer at HV?
This goes back to when I got my V2 GGTS-AVS after using a AVS-AFS. Atties suddenly were lasting longer, at the time I thought it was the AVS, now I think it's the materials...

I know one thing, my 3 wood box mods seem to be the best hitters I have when it comes to Attys, especially HV, the contacts are great and my HV Attys seem to last as well as all Atty's lasting long. I don't know if its the wood and the contact points or what but dang they run great.
