Leo to 510 adapter

I believe the Leo battery is more like 3.5V. The optimum ohms resistance of the atomizer, cartomizer, or tank varies from vaper to vaper. I think that most of us would want LR with that voltage. Even the 2.4 ohm MAP tank would produce only 5 watts on that battery. [Many vapers regard the "sweet spot" as 6-8 watts.]
So I'm not sure that the Leo battery is optimum for MAP tanks. They probably fair better on 5V and variable voltage mods ... or even on a true 3.7V (i.e., 4.2V fresh off the charger) mod or fat batt. For example, at 3.7V, a 2.4 ohm MAP tank would give you 5.7 watts.
Before switching batteries and buying a fairly expensive MAP tank, you might want to try that 510-to-Leo adapter (e.g., $10 at VaporNine or $12 at Avid Vaper) and Smok Tech Mega Dual Coil cartomizers (e.g., $9/five-pack from LiteCigUSA). The dual coil cartos don't have as large a juice capacity as those huge tanks, but they vape great at 3.5V (and at many other voltages).
The adapter that I am waiting/hoping/wishing for is 510-to-Leo, so that I can use the wonderful (but not very low resistance) Leo cartomizer on variable voltage.

The Leo battery is a good, solid performer as far as "stock" batteries go. With a 510 adapter, you basically have an eGo.
The CE2 cartomizer in a MAP tank will work just fine on a Leo battery. I haven't used mine on anything but an eGo or a mod at 3.7v. Any resistance will be fine and produce a ton of vapor but the lower the resistance, the better the chance for throat hit. The CE2 cartos (used in the MAP tanks) defy logic in how well they perform on standard voltage batteries.
The Leo to 510 adapter will open up many doors for experimentation to find what you like best. The dual coil cartos as Don mentioned are also a good choice. People have had mixed results with tank atty's but I enjoy them on occasion.
The added bonus is once you have a 510 connection, you can get adapters from 510-anything you might want to try. I have quite a few adapters and atomizer types.
@ Don: If you can find a sacrificial Leo battery, PM me and I'll help you out wish your wish.
