i have always wondered this... what is the main difference between them.. i am using a vv/vw device? also can anyone recommend decent vv/vw settings for them?

It's called sweet spot, to find your sweet spot.
Set your vw at 4 or 5 watts, now go to your vv settings at the lowest setting, take a draw and go a bit up till you think it's fine, now you can start with the vw setting, just the same as vv setting and again till you say it's all fine, you should be set ;)

There are more ways, everyone do have its own way.

1.5 ohm, the coil will get more hot and faster hot then a 2.0 ohm coil, but your battery will be empty faster with a 1.5 ohm coil.
Just try it, but mostly there will be not really a huge difference between it, with a vv/vw battery you can always bring it to your sweet spot.

Lower resistances tend to require more current and will run warmer. Your VV/VW has an amperage limiter built into the PCB... using Ohm's law will tell you - if the amperage output specs aren't published for your APV - what your lower resistance limit is.

For example: If this is an MVP2, they have a 3 amp/11 watt output limit. Punch those numbers into an Ohm's Law calculator, and you get a minimum resistance of 1.2-1.3Ω. To go lower than that is a waste of time, because you're output is at it's maximum.

Not to differ from what has already been said above, but its all a matter of personal preference whether to use lower or higher resistance coils. Generally speaking, lower ohm coils will give a warmer vaping experience, while higher ohm coils will provide a cooler vape.

Lower resistance is most popular for single voltage (fixed voltage) devices such as non-variable voltage eGo's or mechanical mods (not using a Kick). Standard or higher resistance coils are more popular for variable voltage eGo's and regulated VV/VW devices because they allow a wider range of power output into the coils.

The Safe Vaping Power Chart is often shunned these days as being out-dated, however it is still useful for novices and gives a visual graphic to see the relationship between ohms, voltage, and wattage and how they interrelate with vaping.
