I'm not a fan of "vs" posts, which is why I changed the title to reflect having both variable volts and variable watts on one device. For myself, I prefer variable wattage over variable voltage because I can switch from one accessory to another and stay at the same watts. Or I can adjust watts and not worry about calculating whether the volts are ok with the ohms - the device, such as the Zmax, adjusts the volts automatically to the right level.
With variable voltage I have to use ohms law and make sure I'm running at the right resistance for the volts I've set the device at. If I really wanted to do the math I'd switch to variable voltage on the Zmax, since it has both variable voltage and variable wattage. But in my own vaping I prefer watts over volts about 98% of the time. I rarely use the variable volts. I use variable volts for dry burning coils and that's about it. I just prefer adjusting watts, and the rest takes care of itself. I don't want to do math before I vape something if there's a way not to. If you saw me first thing in the morning you'd get why I prefer watts. Its not that I don't have to use math in my life, but for vaping I use variable watts to keep it convenient and easier to use. I have both options on the same mod and I know which I like most.
I can also adjust watts with different juices, and again not worry about volts and ohms being mismatched since it adjusts the volts automatically. Since I have a lot of different juices this works well for me. Sometimes I just change the watts with the same juice - depending whether I want it a little cooler, or I feel like getting the warmer taste. I like some juices at more than one temperature. So I adjust the watts, which is the power, with a simple click or two and vape.
What I've been reading by other vapers using variable wattage is that they find it very convenient, and like being able to switch accessories or change the power without having to worry about the volts and ohms match. If some-one uses the same delivery system, with the same resistance, and the same juice all the time then sure, they could use variable volts or variable watts and not really vary either. But a lot of people use several juices, try out new juices, and like to try new juice delivery systems. So variable watts can be a good way to vape with different juices and delivery systems, without worrying about ohms and volts.
I'm not still looking for my perfect vape - I would say it's that I've found more than one vape that I really like. There doesn't have to be just one vape that's great. And I do like to try new things sometimes, whether its juice or delivery. I'm going to try Dekang when my next order arrives - haven't tried it before. I like the simplicity of just changing watts up or down and vaping.
Variable watts is not new. Variable wattage has been around for quite a while now. The Darwin is a variable wattage mod. However they are virtually impossible to get. A lot of vapers added variable wattage to their pvs by using the Kick - a small piece of circuitry that can be put on top of a battery. Having variable volts and variable watts on the same pv is new tho.
Some people think variable watts is a fad. That's a bit funny because some people said variable voltage was a fad when it first appeared too. I've been thinking about how the ego twist made variable voltage very popular. I wonder what the watt limits would be on a smaller disposable device if it had variable watts. Is it viable to do? If it is then expect to see them become quite commonly used. In the meantime variable wattage mods or APVs (advanced personal vaporizers) are becoming quite popular, and we'll be seeing a lot more of them.
