What does 5-6V do over 3.7 -4v (more vape? more throat hit?)

[JuniorNA]

Im trying to figure out what everyone is loving about the modified or custom 5v+ PV's but I can't find too much information on the subject. Can someone point me in the right direction to a post, or maybe an online store which sells 5-6v e-cigs? Do you need a high voltage atty for the higher voltage? Sorry for the newb questions, but i have a J510 and 4 batteries, with a PCC and usb-passthru so i'm not really sure if I need or want a 5V+ but was just wondering if this is a custom mod for the 510 or if this is sold in areas like the prodigy V2, etc.

I dont think i would go for it just yet until my 4 510 batts die, but was just wondering what you guys show me, or link me so i can learn about it more.

5V / 6V will give a harder throat hit and produce more vapor than 3.7V batts. As for the BB (Big Battery) mods that will do it, there are many (too many to mention them all). The Chuck, SilverBullet, and GG just to name a few of the most popular. Most of the BB mods are made to take a 510 atomizer, but with adapters, you can use just about anything.
You can use HV attys with the BB mods, but it kind of defeats the purpose (IMO), you definitely don't have to use HV attys with them.

One thing to keep in mind when shopping for a BB mod is that most will take a large 3.7V batt to run normal voltages. A large battery running 3.7V is going to hit way better than the 3.7V stock 510 batts that you are used to, so you may find that the higher capacity batts give you enough of a performance increase that you don't even need 5/6V. Plus when you stay with a high capacity 3.7V batt, you will get 2-3 days between charges instead of 2-3 hours.

I'm with highping on this one...

Not only "a harder throat hit and produce more vapor than 3.7V" but I have also found that the actual flavor of the juice is enhanced and is a lot more enjoyable on the higher volt PV's.

I'm sure you know this, highping, but thought I would add this. The higher capacity 3.7V batts actually, because of higher wattage, can add about 0.5V to the atty coil. Reg 510 batts give a coil voltage of about 3.1V. 14500 batts bring it up closer to 3.7V. Big difference in overall vaping, and I suspect ( and so does Scottbee, who did the study) that the atty will be healthier longer. This is why the box mods are becoming so popular...they are a low cost way of really improving all aspects of 510 vaping.
