it's just flavor and taste. Really it all comes down to power over the coil. you could vape at higher voltages but with a higher ohm resistance have a lower power than a 3.7 with a low resistance atty.

check out ohms law. A lot that comes through is going to be battery cost and mah per battery.

Theres a lot of differences in battery and combos, also two brands may not be the same, i have the same 16340's in ultrafire, trustfire and lifepo that should all be the same, but they swing .04v variances and some drop off sooner than others.

OK!
6volts with a 3.5 ohm atty = 10.28watts
3.7volts with a 1.5 ohm atty = 9.12 watts

6volts with a 4 ohm atty = 9 watts
3.7volts with a 2 ohm atty = 6.8watts

So...(generally) higher voltage with higher resistance still has the power advantage over lower voltage with lower resistance. I like HV setups. But being able to get a new experience with just a different atty seems easier to many than buying new batts (and maybe a charger) and a new atty. And HV might not be an option on the PV one uses.

Even if you get comparable wattage with low volt / low ohm setups the high volt / high ohm still gives different (imo better) results for another reason: coil length (resistance length). You can easily see this in the iatty: diy resistance of say 1.5 ohms uses less resistance wire that a 4 ohms one. Less wire means less surface the liquid comes in contact with.

Not to metion the amperage draw and stress placed on the batteries...
3.7v / 1.5ohm draws approx 2.5 amps / delivers 9.12 watts
6v / 4ohm draws approx 1.5 amps / delivers 9 watts
(both above are very similar vapes but the one clearly puts less stress on the batteries)

Less amperage drawn means less stress placed on the batteries and will give longevity to the lifespan of the batteries. :)
