So if it's above 5.2 then will it turn green? I read the "instructions" on vaprlife and just got more confused haha, but I think I'm getting it now! Thanks guys yawl are the best!

Yeah - the "instructions" are pretty weak. LOL!

Yes, over 5.2V keeps the LED green.

Just to make sure no one is confused, Brian is talking about the battery voltage not the output voltage of the unit. You can set the output voltage to far lower and that will not effect the LED color. As long as the Battery voltage stays above 5.2v the LED will be green, and will change to blue when the battery voltage drains to below 5.2v

Now some info on the atomizer you are using. The standard 510 atomizer is only 2.2ohms, and will load the batteries down more than some other choices. I use a 302 atty, and that is typically between 3.0 and 3.3ohms, but if you have a 510 fitting on your unit that won't be an option. You might get away with using an adapter on an 801 atty, and that would have similar resistance to the 302. I'm not sure, but I think a carto might be slightly higer resistance than a 510 atty. Just understand that lower resistances will put more drain on the batteries, so the higher resistance attys will vape longer before the LED goes blue.

As Brian said before, going to 3.7v cr123 batteries might also be an option. I've used them in my Joker, and they seemd to function just fine with no difference in what the LED tells you. That should give you longer vape time on your 510, but I would also keep an eye on how warm the 3.7v batteries get.
