Just got a new MVP2. Does raising one automatically raise the other? whats the relation between the 2. should i go by volts or watts?
can someone explain volts vs watts please

This should help you out greatly... should keep the information around to read
more than once or twice... see
Taking The Mystery Out Of Variable Wattage - Spinfuel Magazine
Watts equals the relationship of volts and ohms. Volts squared divided by ohms equals watts. Neither can exist without the other. Watts equals the "power" or "work" being used or done.
In other words, if you use watts to adjust the power you are changing the voltage to get there, if you are using voltage, you are changing voltage to get the watts you want.
Play around with this calculator for a bit, Ohm's Law Calculator start with 8 watts and 1.5 ohms then change it to 2.5 ohms at 8 watts and see how the voltage changes to achieve this. Also note how the amperage changes as well, this will determine how long your battery will last, less amps, longer battery life, to a point! But I've got you confused enough we don't need to get into the myth of VV and VW battery run times!

If all were perfect and all clearos were exactly at the ohms as advertised using voltage would be great BUT many cartos/ clearos can be out by as much as 10- 20% + or - ohms wise. When using wattage the APV will automatically calculate the exact same power level regardless of the ohms of the carto/ clearo. Having said that realize some juices taste better at a higher or lower voltage/ wattage.
+1 on the above. Also on the MVP you are only using one or the other, if you set the voltage to 4 volts then go set the wattage to 8 watts, you're in wattage mode now. The last thing you selected is what you are using
Volts you set your self a easy rule of thumb is add 2 to the resistance of your delivery device. Watts the mod checks your resistance before it fires and adjusts the voltage on its own. There really is no difference its just a different way to achieve putting DC current to your coil.iF you like VV or VW is really just preference. Vapor and flavor are the same. The coil dose not know if you are using VV or VW
Volts = water pressure in a hose.
Amps = size (diameter) of the hose.
Watts = volts X amps.
Watts is a measure of work performed. Of Power. That's why your electric bill is in 1000 Watts per hour. (KWH). Voltage alone doesn't mean much.
It's the ohms of the coil that determines the amps, along with the voltage.
Basically, it all works together. It's mathematically related. If you change one thing, everything else pretty much adjusts (ohms tend to say fixed).
So if you up the voltage for any coil, you up the watts too....if you know it or not.
The real question is....why do you care for vaping????? And the answer is that variable wattage stuff auto-senses the coil that you screw on and adjusts itself to achieve the wattage you set. Say...8 watts. That may or may not work well depending on if you use similar or dissimilar coils. You may end up adjusting the wattage anyway to suit. Thus, either VV or VW will let you control the heat of the coil They are both "variable" and adjustable.
VW senses the ohms and adjusts the voltage for you (ballpark).

I'm new to vaping. I have a VV VW device and it seems all the same to me. Meaning I can achieve the same 'hit' at any of the range of voltage or wattage of any device I have tried. At 3.7v take a slower more controlled draw holding the button longer. At 4.2v take a faster draw. Same amount or vapor either way. Some might say the heat of the vapor is different at a different v or w, I think juice will vaporize at a specif temp and not get any hotter after that point. It's just a matter of how much it cools between your atty and throat which is determined by how much air is mixed with the vapor, ie how fast you draw. I've heard some folks say higher w or v equals hotter vape, actually it's the opposite.

Watts = Volts * Amps
So if you raise your watts, you raise your volts. If you raise your volts, you raise your watts.
Variable wattage devices are really nice because most of us have an easier time explaining our sweet spot in watts. No matter what the ohm rating of our coil is, wattage is just the power going through it. Lower ohms would equal lower voltage to get the same watts. High ohms, higher voltage.
But if you set the watts, you don't have to do the math in your head. The device simply adjusts itself to the ohm setting of your coil, which is handy if you have many coils with different ratings.
