Im pretty new so cant really get detailed but watts is your total output power. Volts(Battery) and Ohms(Atty) will make up your watts. The exact equation to figure it out is Volts x Volts/Ohms=Watts. If you are talking about VV devices and VW devices then VV decices allow you to change your watt output by adjusting your voltage output. VW devices you put in your sweet spot in watts and it reads your atty and adjusts your volts accordingly. Hope this helps

Power, in watts, is equal to current times voltage. So at 2 amps with a 3.4volt battery you're looking at 6.8 watts. How do you get the current? Easy, too. Current = voltage divided by resistance. So, a 2.0 ohm atty running at 4.0 volts is drawing 2 amps. In this example, the wattage would be 2 amps times 4.0 volts, or 8 watts.

    The easiest way to understand all that stuff is to use this Ohm's Law Calculator

    For example if your PV is set at 5v and you use a 3ohm cartomizer you will find that you are vaping at 8.33watts. So if 8.33watts isn't hot enough, and you want to vape at 10watts, just type in your 3ohms and 10watts, and the calculater will tell you what voltage to use.
