Adjustable Voltage or Adjustable Wattage Battery?

[Blind Guy]

I am currently using a Vision Spinner Adjustable Voltage battery ( from 3.3-4.8V). I like the idea of a adjustable voltage battery because i can turn up the voltage all the way, receiving the largest toke as possible. I am using the 550
I have ads for adjustable voltage batts that go up to 7 volts, but they seem to be for different sizes of carts than i use. Any thoughts on that, because I'd like to jump up my voltage even more with the carts i am currently using.

Also, have seen adjustable wattage batts out there. What is the difference? Benefits/Drawbacks to using an AV instead of AW?

It's all about watts. Watts are what give you the toke. A variable voltage battery simply allows you to fine tune the wattage to your atty indirectly.

Since your coil resistance remains constant, then boosting your voltage increases your wattage.

All is good until you change atty's. Now coil resistance may have changed, so you may need to change your battery voltage again to compensate for the different resistance in the atty.

A variable Wattage battery lets you set to a desired wattage and you will get the same performance even if you swap out attys. The battery will sense the coil resistance change and adjust voltage accordingly.

Other than that there is no advantage one over the other. If you don't mind tweaking voltage when you change your atty's stay with VV. (you have much finer control).

If you simply like to set to a set wattage and then forget it, go with variable wattage (kind of like a vv on cruise control).

Generally, they are referred to as VV (Variable Voltage) and VW (Variable Wattage) around here, just to clarify to help if you are searching ECF on the topic.
With the higher voltages, you'll want to use carts with higher resistance ratings (Ohms).
VV and VW are technically doing the same thing, behind the scenes anyway.
With VV, you need to be conscious of the ohms of your coil, so you don't burn out your coil.
With VW, you set the wattage where you like it, and the device will change it's voltage output to maintain your wattage setting relevant to the resistance of the coil in use.
VW is more of a "set and forget" type of device.

In general how high you want to turn up the voltage is going to depend a great deal on what atty/carto/clearo yuo are using, what juice you are using and personal taste. Pushing it too high for your device/juice combination can lead to some nasty burnt taste or extreme dry hits. If your device cannot wick enough juice to the coil you will get serious nasty taste.

So really the maximum volts number on the battery device is not a good indicator of where you will vape.

With variable voltage/variable wattage devices. I start at the lowest setting. Take a vape. If it tastes ok I crank it up a notch and take a vape. I keep doing this until I get the first hint of a nasty taste then I back it down one notch and vape at that level.

Many times these huge clouds you see in videos are a product of several factors. High VG juices. Rebuildable Atty set up with a coil and wicking system specifically built to produce a huge cloud. Clever photography.
