Schlitz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hiya gang, So, I finally received in my supplies to start using my new GGTB(which, by the way is AWESOME!) and I have a quick question about the attys y'all are using at 6v The GGTB takes several different battery combos, and my first run was with a 14500 and a 901lr atty. I must say, I am really pleased with the lr901, particularly the air flow and the flavor. Works really great. For my second test, I went to run 2 tenergy LiFePO4 batteries to try at 6v vaping. This is my first run at 6 volts, so I'm not too familiar with it yet. Since I have read that standard 901's aren't too great in the vapor production, I opted to get some adapters so I could run a standard joye 510. The combo actually works great. Nice kick, good vapor production, and flavor is what I was expecting at 6v. I have noticed that after about 3 drags, the atty heats up quite a bit, and I haven't experienced this with the exception of chain vaping at 5v. My question is this...What do you use at 6v for an atty, and is it common for a relatively quick increase in tempature at 6 volts? I just don't want to stress the atty or batteries more than needed. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hey Schlitz, I was popping 510 attys like crazy on my SB at 6V until I got the hang of using it. You are right it heats up quickly. I had to learn to keep the atty lubed and not to chain vape it so much. I had to let the atty cool down a little. I haven't been vaping at 6V to much anymore. I kinda settled in the 4.5 - 5V range.

Brian Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I was using the same batteries you have (Tenergy LiFePO4s) for 6V in my BSB with a Joye 510 atty (you're actually getting 5.2 to 5.4 volts under load). I was averaging about two weeks on at atty, and would occasionally pop one on the first hit. I started using my Joker AV in September pretty much full time and set it to 4.9 or 5v. Since then I've been getting 4 to 6 weeks on my attys. On the BSB at 6V I did try a few different attys (HV atty, SLB higher ohm attys, BE112s, etc), but didn't really notice much difference in life.
