    Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage: Which is better and why?

    So, in other words, trial and error. How is that a better experience than just setting your favorite number for a given flavor/atty combination and having it vape just how you like it? I'm not saying it can't or doesn't work. I'm just saying there's a whole lot less fiddling with VW. Exactly...

    Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage: Which is better and why?

    This misses the point I'm making. Obviously if you prefer to vape different liquids at different temperature levels (wattages), you're going to have to make adjustments on your device. With VV, you're also going to have to measure each atty/carto that you use, do the math to find the right...

    Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage: Which is better and why?

    With the introduction of the Darwin and, more recently, the Kick, Evolv has changed the face of theAPV market by introducing variable wattage APV's. This has led to much confusion about whether variable voltage or variable wattage is the better technology and why. A long technical discussion...

    How dangerous is stacking for 6v? prove it.

    This is exactly why I say how we term these devices is based on the user interface. On a VV device, you adjust a control and the visual output is reported in volts. On a VW device, you adjust a control and the visual output is displayed in watts. Same physics. Different user experience. The...

    How dangerous is stacking for 6v? prove it.

    I couldn't find anything on watt monitor, but thanks for the description. The little potentiometer is the part of the circuit I was trying to describe earlier.

    How dangerous is stacking for 6v? prove it.

    You have a datasheet or schematic for this magic chip? How is the desired power output set? There has to be some input telling it what to output. That input, whether it's a digital or an analog signal, is going to be translated inside the chip to a circuit that ultimately varies either voltage...

    dripping... no flavor - am I doing something wrong?

    I have a 1.5 ohm Cisco 306 that's labeled as a 3.0 ohm. Thankfully, I use a Darwin so it adjusted my voltage down automatically. Can't imagine how fast that atty would have blown if I put it on a straight 5 or 6 volt PV.

    How dangerous is stacking for 6v? prove it.

    Yes, a variable wattage circuit could vary resistance, however in the case of the Darwin it is most definitely varying voltage. As I said previously, you can watch the voltage change on the fly if you activate the Darwin and twist the dial. Once again, wattage is regulated by changing...

    How dangerous is stacking for 6v? prove it.

    Yep. Indeed it is. Exactly. The comment I was replying to said "though not technically VV" when technically it is VV. We call them variable wattage to differentiate the end user experience. Inside the circuit, the voltage is what is being varied. If you're not clear on why this is the case...

    dripping... no flavor - am I doing something wrong?

    Quality control varies widely on attys. I'd almost bet that it's a dud, especially since you say the vapor production is not what you'd expect. Dripping definitely provides a strong flavor when things are working properly.

    Why did you get into vaping? How did you find out about vaping?

    Nope, I had no intention of quitting. I was just sick of sitting around the hookah waiting for the hose to be passed and then having to smoke whatever flavor was loaded. I still smoke an analog now and then, but I don't smoke a pack a day and I don't crave them at all anymore. Most of the...

    Struggling with the whole 'language' thing...

    I change my terminology based on who I'm talking to. If a complete stranger asks me and I don't feel like getting into a long conversation, I call it an electronic cigarette. I've found that over the last 6 months to a year, more people are familiar with the fact that electronic cigarettes exist...

    dripping... no flavor - am I doing something wrong?

    While it's true that given the same atty, a low voltage PV will produce less heat at the coil than a PV running at a higher voltage, the atty will still heat up and work properly at a lower voltage. It sounds like you're putting your own preferences into the definition of an atty working...

    How dangerous is stacking for 6v? prove it.

    The Darwin is absolutely VV. It just has a different user interface and some logic built in to set the voltage based on the user's desired wattage and the resistance of the atty/carto. You can hold the button down on a Darwin, spin the wattage wheel, and watch the voltage change on the display.

    Why did you get into vaping? How did you find out about vaping?

    I just wanted a "personal hookah" to take to parties. Two days after I got my first PV, I stopped smoking analogs.

    Looking for suggestions on a durable, hard hitting e-cig?!

    I'm going to offer another option since he likes the ego form factor, and suggest a Pure Smoker Icon. It's roughly the same size as an ego. It's all mechanical, and will hold up well to rough treatment. The batteries will last about as long as his ego. PV's using the 18650 batteries that...

    Worst juice I ever tried. Hopefully your taste buds appreciate it though.
