Huh. Maybe I'm just easy to please but it seems the 8 does give more vapor?

Could be the kind of topper you have. When coils get TOO hot, it leads to less then desirable results.

First, you can only be in one setting at a time as variable volts and variable watts are essentially the same thing. With variable volts, or the U setting on the MVP, you are manually adjusting the volts to taste. If it isn't enough of a hit, you go up to the next volt setting and so on. With variable watts, you are still adjusting the volts. The thing is, once you find the hit you like, you can leave it there and the device will adjust the volts on it's own, depending on the resistance of the coil you are using. Basically, its a set it and forget it mode. If you set it at 10 watts with a 1.5 ohm coil, and then switch to a 2.0 ohm coil, it'll increase the voltage on it's own to get to 10 watts again. That's what watts is. A calculation between ohms and volts.

So, if you aren't getting a good enough hit at 10 watts, or 10 P keep going up until you find what you like. As long as you stay in P mode, or watts mode, it'll just give you that same hit like no matter what tank or coil you switch to.

Ya know I am going to have to reread this tenbillionty times to understand this fully (through NO fault of yours) but this is definitely shedding more light for me. So basically I am going to have to invest/learn about some substantial tops. That's ok, though. Whatever works.

Thanks so much for all the time you took in replying, but I bet you could do this in your sleep.

A PT2 has 2.1 ohm resistence I believe. Go 2 volts over your resistence or 4.1volts. Increases current to 2 amps, which will efficiently fire your coils. VV devices came first & should be adjusted first.. Good luck..

Congrats and the MVP will not let you down

Thanks for all the luck!

I'm ready to take this information to eBay. Lol.

I feel like a Dumb"...." -- I have the freaking "PT2" with the 2.5? coils. Durp. Ok, now I understand.

Thank you. Right on. That seems to be the consensus. Thank goodness.

Play with this ohms calculator. It'll show you how the math works.

Ohm's Law Calculator

In simpler terms, using U or variable volts is like driving a car in stick shift. You need to adjust the car yourself depending on how fast you are going (ohms=speed in this case). Variable watts, or P on the MVP is driving an automatic. It'll adjust the volts itself.

BINGO! Now *THAT* I understand. thank you, so much!!!

You probably hit the U last and at 3.5 volts the watts would have been somewhere around 6 depending on the ohm coil you are using.

Just bought the Aspire Nautilus topper. I am SO set.
