if the wattage is the same then yes.... the lr atties and cartos where originally used to simulate higher voltage vaping on 3.7v devices. all wattage means is temperature, how its reached is irrelevant too many. if you like 12 watts you can get it using a lr or hr just that you would be at a different voltage.
Actually....
A higher resistance atty/carto typically has more coil wraps, therefore giving a stronger vape at the same wattage.

Thanks for the info. I can't spring for a Provari yet, but have been pretty satisfied with 4.2v and lr attys. I do eventually want to get into rewicking and doing my own coils on my Vivi nova (love it!), but not there yet.
BUT, a regulated power output PV, preferrably where watts are regulated and not volts, will provide a more consistent vape than LR attys/cartos. They degrade more quickly.
Even though the wattage will be the same, the amperage draw will be higher, when using a lower resistance carto and lower voltage, which will result in shorter battery time before needing recharge.
For example: If you have a 2.0 ohm carto, and used it at 3.2 volts, your wattage would be 5.3. However your amp draw would be 1.6 amps.
Now, if you used a 3.0 ohm carto at 4.0 volts, your wattage would also be 5.3, but your amp draw would be 1.3 amps.
For longer battery time between charges, if you have a variable voltage device, you are better off with the higher resistance cartomizer.

Low at High or High at Low?
I dunno.
What I've have Always done is chose an Ohm that works Best on my Non-VV eGo. That way if I want to screw a Carto onto an eGo and walk out the door, I don't have to think about what ones Will work or which ones Won't.
Any ohm will work with my VVPV's so I might as well pick an Ohm that works on my Non-VV PV's.

Yes Ohms law states that. I you want to calculate the watts here is the formula. Volts x Volts divided by ohms. The goal is to get less than 10 watts and more than 3. To much you burn the juice, shorten the life of the atty, it burns you throat and can shorten the life of the battery assy.. Here is a link to a chart I use.

watts are watts. Just ohms and volts by them selves mean little.
Hope this helps.

@ AaronDx,,,
In trying to answer your question, I'll go about it as follows.
Watts are not Watts are not Watts in regards to your question,, example, taking say 9 Watts to say a 1.5ohm coil and then taking that same 9 Watts to say a 3.5ohm coil will not result in the same vape. Changing the resistance , the resistor (Atty,coil) makes a huge difference I'n the equation. However most like to vape at a certain set wattage this is when Watts are Watts are Watts but what's on the other end that's accepting those Watts can change the outcome. By that,, specificallY the flavor outcome, personally I find my sweet spot ohm's wise between 1.3ohms and 2.4ohms depending on what type of set up I'm vaping, and what juice,, but with a higher ohm coil say a 2.8-4.0 coil I find the flavor is not as intense , also with HV vaping I find a different experiance then LR in the actual vapor, the HV is a bit heavier of a vapor with a bit more of a muted taste. Different juices vape differently as well and the nice thing about having a regulated wattage device is being able to fine tune that device to match up the resistance your using and juice your using and dialing it into your perfect sweet spot or likings, everyone is a bit different in what there perfect Watts/ohms set up is, then you also have to throw in what type of wick you like best as well, Silica, cotton, bamboo, SS mesh , or XYZ, so many different variable that go into it all, so bottom line is having a variable wattage device is nice to have
these are my own personal findings and opinions Only.
