This could be true Mike. If people are taking really long drags or vaping with normal attys at 6 volts, especially if the atty is not fully saturated.

For me, using 5 volts means I don't have to sit here and huff on this thing to get a hit. What takes me only a second or two at most, others at lower voltage takes two to three times as long. With shorter draw time, I doubt I am reaching any higher temperatures than those who have to take longer draws.
Unlike some, I never get a harshness in my vape at 5 volts, and for me the flavor is enhanced. But I usually always drip at 5 volts even if I have a prefilled cart attached.

6 volts is however too much IMO for the normal atomizer. People have now resorted to using higher resistance attys. I have yet to try one of these, but I may get a couple to try out at 6 volts, just to see if it is tolerable. For this, the only reason I see a use for 6 volts, is to be able to achieve the K.I.S.S. method, that is, without having to use a regulator or a resistor to step down the voltage, instead just increase the atty resistance, keeping it simple.
If one of these HV 510 knockoffs can perform at 6 volts like a Joye 510 at 5 volts, then we will have something.
