Any good videos or posts on VV Mod basics?

I just watched RiP Trippers video on the protank micro coil rebuild and I realized that I don't know very much about vv mods. The mod that I want to gain the most knowledge on would be the iTaste Vtr. I would also like to learn the importance of voltage wattage and ohms. Although I understand a bit, I don't wanna order the mod and be completely lost upon unboxing lol. Thanks again guys:)

Theres not much to learn about VV mods. They make volts, you turn it up or down to suit your atty. They are more foolproof, and IMO beginner oriented.

Rebuildables are more in the territory of mechanical mods. Also, if you are going to be rebuilding attys, get a rebuildable atomizer. While you CAN rebuild a protank, putting the same effort into rebuilding a proper RBA will give better results. A protank is a disposable atty that CAN be rebuilt. Not a rebuildable atomizer.

The most you need to learn for VV mods, which applies to all mods actually, is basic (basic) electricity. Electricity is electrons flowing through a substance, literally moving along in a river, rivers have current, current is how much flows. Resistance (ohms) is how much the substance tries to stop the electrons, Voltage is how hard you are pushing the electrons, to get past the resistance.

More push (volts) at the same resistance means more current.
Less resistance (ohms) vs the same push, means more current.

Current means heat, as all those electrons rushing through the substance create "friction".
Heat makes vapor.
 
VV/VW are both similar. VV you are picking the volts and based on the resistance of the coil, you will end up with so many watts. To figure it out, its volts x volts / ohms. On prebuild coils and wicks, most people aim for 7-9. VW does that calculation for you and you only have to pick 7-9, no worrying about what volt you need based on the coil. Makes moving to a Variable device a little simpler. Different watt levels will effect the taste and the range you can use is highly based on the type of coil and wick you have going. Grimm Green's suggestion for starting out is a decent one, turn the device all the way down and go up till you dislike the flavor, then go down 1 notch on the setting you are using. Will eventually just come down to preference.
