The answer to that depends on the Ohms of the coil/atomizer that you can use on that tank.

For 5-6V, you would want a higher ohm coil, which in effect will reduce the total Wattage.

I personally haven't used over 5V. The 4.5-5V range on my MVP2 and now the 3.7-4.2V on my Mech mods gives me enough wattage if I build the right kind of coil for it

I use EVOD's and Protank 2's. They both take the same coil. I rebuild mine at 1.7 Ohms using 5-6 wraps of 32 kanthal on a 1/16th drill bit with cotton wick. They vape great at lower volts. You want your volts to be about 2 more than your ohms, so you'd want 3-4 ohm coils which is kinda strange. But easy to do. Just use 10-12 wraps of 32 kanthal..:) Any tank will work with 5-6 volts. You need the right ohm coil though or you'll just burn your juice and wick. I may be wrong but what you are trying to do is get a piece of wire the right temp to just vaporize the juice. High voltage like 5-6V you need to use a high ohm coil as a "throttle" to hold it back so stuff doesn't burn. Like cooking a hot dog over a campfire with coals you can get low (ohms). Cooking a hotdog over a bonfire you need to hold it higher (ohms) or it burns.

Now that I think about it. If I had a fat juice soaked cotton coil, with 12 wraps around it longer. It would make a lot more smoke. Heating up 1/3 inch of wick at once instead of 1/4 inch. Maybe there is an advantage to longer coils and higher volts. I'm a noob. You're giving me ideas :)
