I see the volts did indeed go down, when I usually vape on a 1.8 ohm coil, the volts usually show 4.4. But on the 1.6 ohm coil, the volts now show 4.2. Still not a very big difference, but I guess the volts vs watts difference is still somewhat lost on me.
Oh my... perhaps I can make it easy (though I am sure others have tried).
If I set my power at 10 watts:
with a 1.5Ω coil, it will produce 10 watts;
with a 1.8Ω coil, it will produce 10 watts.
I hath commanded it to stay at 10 watts and it doth obey me.
It stays at 10 watts by automatically adjusting the voltage to whatever level will produce 10 watts with the resistance of the coil being used.
If I put it in voltage mode and set it at 4.0 volts:
with a 1.5Ω coil it will fire at 4.0 volts;
with a 1.8Ω coil it will fire at 4.0 volts.
I hath commanded it to stay at 4.0 volts and it doth obey me.
The difference is that when it is set in the voltage mode, you are setting the input, irrespective of the output, so:
with a 1.5Ω coil fired at 4.0 volts ≈ 10.6 watts are produced;
with a 1.8Ω coil fired at 4.0 volts ≈ 8.8 watts are produced.
But as Sir DP related, one really should vape by taste. I posted the above only in hopes of clarifying the concept.
This is both the best and easiest way to understand the difference between V.V. and V.W.
