Voltage Question

[Stevowns]

So I've noticed the ProVari uses a 3.7 nominal voltage battery. My question is, how does it vape at 3.7+ volts? I was under the impression that one needs a 5-6v battery to be able to vape at that voltage (5-6v). So the 3.7v they provide is able to vape at 5-6v with no issues? I ask this because I plan on using it with a SR carto tank at around 3.0 ohms or more at 5v and possibly 6v (depending on the juice I have).

Basically it uses a step up TRANSFORMER to boost the voltage , I believe it is called a "Buck/Boost circuit " , buck down the voltage or boost up the voltage.
Someone with a better explanation will chime in.

I you want to use this type of VVPV at 5~6 Volts, I would Strongly suggest you use AW IMR Batteries in it.

All batteries are not the same. I think the AW IMR's are Good and worth paying a Few Bucks more for them.

There is a nice wiki page on this type of circuit...
