What kind of atties for a 5V device?

[Bootsand]

I've been using a Riva for a while now with LR 510's and 306's, and am looking to move on up in the world.

I've been looking for a good VV mod, but I'll wait to get one of those until the Eclipse or VVPV are released.

In the meantime, I'm considering the GLV-2, as people say 5V vaping is excellent. I'd still be able to use my LR atties I have on hand at 3.6V as well, but what atties are used for 5V? Is that in the range of HV atties? Or are those for 6V vaping?

Thanks

You can use regular attys for 5v, but at 6v anything under 3.3-3.5ohms is too hot for me.

I've used my Maxi Roughstack at 6v and it takes a 3.5 ohm atty or higher. Even at 3.5 ohms it's a really short draw or you'll burn the juice. At 5v I'd say something in the 3.2 to 3.5 ohm range is probably where I'd start. If you want to try 5v it's really cheap to see if you like it. Just order one of these 510 high voltageManual USB Passthrough, and one of these 2 amp AC to USB Adapter, ideal for Passthroughs, and you can give it a shot before investing in a mod. And 5v is considered HV and when you go up in voltage things get kind of finicky pretty quick. When you find the right combination that works for you, you can get better vapor production and flavor. That's the sweet spot.

@ cskent WOW! Thanks so much for the HV passthrough link, I'm ordering one today! You, my friend, are awesome.

Just use regular attys. Prefer 901/BE112 attys at 5 volt because they have the largest coil of any atty.

If you want the best VV on the market, it is the Darwin. I tried it for the first time last night and there really is no others that come close to what the Darwin provides.

wv2...

What's the biggest difference between a Darwin and a Provari? Curious as to how the provari does not even come close....

Thanks in advance,

Jack

This review from another forum member will give you much more information: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ressions-newest-pre-production-prototype.html

But the big difference between the two is that the ProVari regulates voltage and is done so manually by the user. So if you put on a 510 atty and want to vape at 5 volts, you go through the button press process to set it at 5 volts.

With the Darwin, it has a microprocessor inside that automatically adjusts the power to the atty based on how you set it with just a turn of the small wheel when you first start vaping. So if you put a new atty on and find the power level that gives you "your" preferred vape, then as time goes on, the Darwin automatically changes the setting to keep the atty vaping the same as that first inhale. As you vape over a two, three or four hour period, your batteries will weaken some and the resistence of you atty will also change. The Darwin senses this and self-regulates the power to keep the atty performing just like when you first put it on the PV. The consistency of the vaping experience is unparalleled. And you as the user don't have to do anything. Unlike any other VV device, the Darwin regulates wattage instead of volts.

I was also told that the batteries, which are internal, will run the PV at that perfect level for up to 48 hours.
It has a two year warranty which I believe far surpasses any other device.

The ProVari has a regulated output which keeps the voltage the same with each puff - regardless of your remaining battery power. As the battery drains, the device will keep the voltage consistent giving you the perfect vapor all day long.

The above sentence was taken from the Provape Website.....

I guess the main difference is the way you change the voltage.

I plan on getting both of them anyway, I was just curious as why you thought the Darwin was that much better.

Just took the time to read that review you posted. It's more than just turning the wheel. lol. Very cool how it constantly checks the ohms on the atty. It's soo neat being on the ground floor of the ecig thing, and seeing all the new tech coming out. I am starting to think that I am going to be wanting to but the "next best thing" every other month.

Thank you pointing that out. I think the ProVari is a really cool PV, also but know a little more about the Darwin.
