Why Use HV attys at 5v-6v?

HV atomizers have higher resistance and are designed for use at a higher voltage (i.e. 5v and 6v mods). They consume less power and should keep you vaping longer.
HV atty - 4.8 ohms @ 6v = 7.5 watts
Regular atty - 3.2 ohms @ 6v = 11.25 watts

yea I get that but but they dont hit nearly as good as a regular atty at HV so it kinda defeats the purpose of going HV.
For 5V you shouldn't be using an atty over 3.5ohm, for 6V a 4.5ohm is good and for 7.4V a 5.2ohm should be great.
ok well try throwing one of Issac's new HV-510's on one of your PV's anywhere at all from 5v-6.5V and you will see why I swear by them. I've tried every dam HV Atty on the market, nothing has come close to this Atty and that includes a Cisco for sure, used his 4ohm this week and out of 5 of them everyone tasted burnt and was horrible, no comparison what so ever not even close. Ikens newest Batch has all American internals in them and they don't even get hot like a normal HV Atty @6v they are the smoothest HV heck smoothest Atty I have used to date bar none.!!!
I've never tried using an atty before but recently got a 5V GLV2. It's got a 510 connection and I use an adaptor so I can use my 808 cartos with it but do have some trouble with juices burning, at times. Would this be a good 1st atty to try (with this device)?
I'm going to have to order some new attys soon for the first time and want to make sure I'm understanding this.
Generally I've found my sweet spot to be around 4.2v using a 2.4ohm atty which = 7.35w.
If I were to use a 3.4ohm atty at 5v = 7.35w in theory the performance should be basically the same but the atty should last longer and battery life should be better due to drawing less amps?

I've been using HV atomizers on my Prodigy V3.1 @ 6v for a couple months now.
Let me revise that. I've been using ONE HV atomizer for the last two months since switching to HV. In my experience HV atomizers last WAY longer than normal resistance atomizers @ 6v and I can't detect much difference in the hit they deliver.

I have been using HV 510's from Ikenvape for almost a year now. HV atomizers last longer in my experience compared to standard 510's. I am currently using a standard 510 on my big kazoo and I can tell a difference between the two. To me the vapor is cooler from a HV atty but the vapor production seems to be more and flavor isn't distorted as much. When Ikenvape gets HV 510's back in stock try one, they are worth the money.
I've used standard 510 atty's on 5v and higher and they work fine except for the fact that they get really hot and I have to wait a minute or two for it to cool off before I take another drag. I burnt one up after two days because I was not letting it cool off. Thought about buy some HV resistance now that I have my Darwin but these standards are working out just fine.
YES....YES...and YES !! BUT...good luck getting one !! I love Ikens attys and Isaacc is a GREAT guy, just no stock.
I have several VV devices so I can use any atomizer I want.
I choose to use HV atomizers at higher volts because:
1. The flavour doesn't get burnt out.
2. I find that HV attys (regardless of brand) leak less.
I gave up on LR attys because I got sick of constantly getting juice on my hands.
Does any body else experience this and why?
Is it because of greater surface area in the atty coil?
For me the difference is not in the electrical calculations, but more in the mechanical variance.

Music, I fine they are a much smoother vape all the way around from 5v up to 6.5v !! especially compared to these hot son of a B's 1.5ohm LR's. Issac's are the best I have ever used, his latest batch have all American internals in them and there just super. !!! Even his 2ohm Attys are also very good, I just prefer 5v-6.5v depending what juice I'm running but all in all it is a much smoother vapor with fantastic flavor, I'm not saying I dont ever use the 2ohm I do, especially the Mini 801 it is one of my favorite Atty's but this latest and greatest batch of HV-510's is just super and I'm glad I loaded up on them for sure

Providing I can get my hands on one, do you have any tips for a first time user? Would hate to ruin it because of some newbie mistake!
I've wondered about this too, and even voiced the question in the forum, without a reply.
So, you go to an HV or VV mod. And, you use a HR atomizer. Yeah, seems pointless to me too.
TFN, I'm happy with standard voltage of 18650 and LR atomizers.
I'll be toking on one soon. Looking forward to it... 
I'm using an IKV 801 tall 3.5Ω with two Tenergy 3.0V Li-ions. The flavor and vapor is tremendous. The battery life, not so much...
