When Will They Come Up With An Atty For 5-6v?

I want to know why no one has come up with an atomizer that will handle 5v or 6v of current! I don't mean the ones that reduce it by 2 volts... that just puts you back where you started. I mean attys that have a larger heat coil that will not burn out under higher volts. Tons of people love the vapor and throat hit of higher volts, only to be disappointed each time they have to shell out another 7-10 bucks for another atty. Come up with one and charge, say $20 for it. At least let it last as long as vaping on 3.7v.
Anyone hear of anything in the making?

i put 2 CR2's in my BB today and it was at 6v
I use my atty's at 5v and 6v. But they don't last that long. The question is why don't they make an atty that will last a long time at those volts, like they make them for 3.7v? I know they will work great a 6v, but they were made to be used at 3.7.

The high volt attys don't reduce the voltage they increase the resistance. They do it by using a larger heating coil. Basic electricity.

from my experience its the solder connection that goes first.... so to sort of answer the OP would be to answer why don't they make atties with the coil already available but with a stronger connection..... BUT my normal atties last me a "long time" @ 6v is it luck or user care I don't know... but I do use em hard ;)

Are these what you mean, or am I missing something? I would like to know if these 'just reduce the voltage' or is a true HV atty as I was going to get some in my next order.


The East Mall EM5-HV (510) is specifically designed to be used at 6 volts. It is 4.5 OHM (+-0.3) and will produce excellent vapor without boiling e-liquid or suffering from pre-mature failure.

Please Note: these atomisers are not suitable for regular 3.7 volt or 7.4 volt power sources.

I might be wrong, but a heavier coil usually means higher resistance. Higher resistance means more voltage required to produce the wattage required for the ecig to perform. Higher voltage, higher resistance, equals minimal increase in performance over the ecig at 3.7 volts.

It's the other way around. A heavier coil (larger diameter wire) means LOWER resistance.

5V and 6V isn't a current... its a voltage... amps are current!

just thought you should know :)
Thank you for correcting me... I guess no one else could figure out what I was talking about.

Well if you read Scottbee's voltage post you'll see that most e-cig makers have designed their atties to run at 3.1V. I would imagine if there was a market hot running, high voltage, vapor cloud producing, self-cleaning, no leak atties could be made. Unfortunately they'd probably cost about $60 and would probably require a specific propriatary liquid at an equally high cost.

Pushing the atties past their designed spec seems to be what makes HV vaping what it is. Adjusting the ohms, using the same/current technology doesn't appear to be the answer. That said my 2A powered, direct wired PT pushes my Joye 510 atties at about 4.7V under load (my cheap meter dances a bit). This seems to be my 'sweet spot' as it's a nice combination of increased hit vs. cost of atty replacement.
