Part for part whats in a 6v mod.

[germcage]

I'm wondering what kind of battery/'s, regulator, switch, and what ever else is needed to use for a 6v mod. I'd like to build one to get more power from my 510 attys and hopefully a better experience.
Or if some one could point me to a "DIY" 6v mod kit that would be great.

Find and build one of bigblue30's variable voltage mods. If you follow his guides you'll have a great mod with the proper components. No skimping or RS 'almosts'.

Many '6V' vapers are using a pair of 3V Tenergy Li-PO4's. They are actually vaping at 5V not 6.

After a little more research i discovered that regulators come in 5, 9, 12 volt so i see why 6v mods are not so popular.

I would say true 6V mods are not so popular due to the extreme harshness, heat and the their atty popping nature, and a 6V regulator would probably need about 7V to operate. Hard to get that for more than a few minutes with a pair of batteries that start at about 7.4 under load.

6V mods typically refer to stacked 3V LiFePO4 batteries. Usually they are rcr123's but some use CR2's.
Commonly they are made by Tenergy, AW, and ultrafire. There are DX generics as well.
Most 18650 mods can be dual purposed to take 2 stacked Cr123's.
6V is likely to burn a 510 atty. I only use 6V on 901's and 801's.
The set up doesn't require a regulator just 2x 3V batteries (preferably paired).
Loaded voltage is not 6V, its closer to 5, but in some cases as high as 5.7V

5V mods refer to regulated mods.

You should always use a 3amp rated swtich, or a mosfet.
