Does the resistence of a clearomizer demand a specific voltage or can you raise it?

[rammstein]

I'm wondering because I don't want to spend extra money on a vv/vw battery if I can't raise the volts for a better throat hit without causing damage to the clearomizer or it's coils. I took an electronics class in high school but remember absolutely nothing about it.

A rule of thumb is that you can add to up to 2 volts to the resistance coil. Example 1.8 ohm coil add two volts and you can vape at 3.8 volts. It's all what tastes best to you however, but going to high with the voltage will burn the coil.

It also depends on what kind of coils your using a cartomizer I wouldn't go too for past 3.8 but protons and nautilus tanks can handle higher voltage

A vv/vw battery will allow you to dial it in to the best vape for you. I'd certainly recommend getting a adjustable battery. There are plenty of good ones out there depending on how much you want to spend.

Higher wattage, higher volts for the same resistance, will be harder on the coil.

The major reason for using a variable voltage/wattage device is to get the power level you like best. Do you think the additional expense of replacing coils more often is worth the difference in taste or vapor production or whatever? You are the only one who can decide for yourself.

The cost of coils, for me, is nothing compared to the total cost of vaping. I like vw.

You can both raise or lower the voltage (within a certain range, of course) you use with any coil to achieve the wattage that best suits you. That's the beauty of variable voltage devices. With a set resistance and set voltage, you're forever stuck with one wattage only. And it's all about wattage. More on the subject, if you want to know more:

When I started a few weeks ago, I tried a non VV (I guess 3.7V) and I was not impressed. I ordered a Spinner II and a Mini Protank which came with 2.2 ohm coils. So far, anything lower than 3.8 doesn't give me a throat hit. For me, the above setup works well vaping between 3.8-4.3.
