My charger recently died on me and the only battery and charger combo I have is rated at a higher voltage than standard. I already killed a reg 510 bat trying to charge it on the charger for this battery. As they are both 510 I was wondering if using a reg atomizer on a higher voltage battery will damage the atomizer or not?

From an electronics standpoint - it all depends on charger output, battery output, atomizer resistance.

If you've got a 3.7v charger, you'll never push more than 3.7v into the battery, and may damage the battery (but I'm not sure).

If you've got a low resistance atomizer, you'll push more wattage through it than with a lower voltage battery. Most wattage over 11 is pretty smokin' hot. Even the Evolv darwin will limit to about 12.6w (if memory serves.) My personal sweet-spot is in that 8-11 watt range for 306 atomizers. Either way - if you're in the 3.4-3.6v range, and your atty's / carto's are in the 2-3ohm range, they SHOULD be fine, but you'll be running hotter, increasing vapour, flavour, and TH, but reducing the life of the atty, and possibly the battery if it can't handle the drain.

Simple calcs.... I=E/R, P=I(I)*R

(Typical cartos)
3.3v @2.5 ohm = 4.356 w (Is this thing on?)
3.7v @2.5 ohm = 5.476 w
4.2v @2.5 ohm = 7.056 w
5v @2.5 ohm = 10 w

(Some LR atomizers)
3.3v @2.0 ohm = 5.445w
3.7v @2.0 ohm = 6.845w
4.2v @2.0 ohm = 8.82w
5v @2.0 ohm = 12.5w

(Typical LR atomizers - huge current draw here...)
3.7v @1.4 ohm = 9.75 w (Crackle)
4.2v @1.4 ohm = 12.6 w (Sizzle)
5v @1.4 ohm = 17.8 w (POOF!)

(High resistance atomizers for VV units...)
3.3v @ 5ohm = 2.178 W
3.7v @ 5ohm = 2.738 W
4.2v @ 5ohm = 3.528 W
5v @ 5ohm = 5 W

It depends - what is the voltage? 510 is 3.2 to 3.4v. The atty can probably handle 3.7v but some 3.7v batteries are 4.2v right off the charger - that may be dicey. And I would not put it on anything higher than that if you don't have spares. Attys can also die for no apparent reason. If you use atomizers you need to have spare atomizers. And you should have some 3 ohm Boge cartomizers as a backup for if you ever get caught with no atomizer. Most people prefer cartos anyway. And for any ecig you depend on, you should have spare everything.

Re chargers -
Blu or FS510 charging cable - can kill all normal 510 and Ego
510-T charging cable - seems to be able to kill normal 510 and Ego types batteries
Ego or Riva 510 etc (fat battery 510 models) charging cables are fast chargers and can damage slim 510 batteries
