I have a vamo and it does fine for me at 7 or 8 watts,no complaints.What is the VV part do and is it worth worrying about?
Does VV do anything VW doesn't?

Good question, I've wondered this myself. In playing with it, I have not noticed a difference over using VV
Variable voltage lets you fine tune your vape a little more. It goes in increments of .1 where wattage goes in increments of .5. Believe it or not there can be a difference in the flavor of your juice from 4.2v to 4.3v. Personally I have found VW useless. I try it with different juices and clearos but always find myself going back to VV. The "set it and forget it" of VW just doesn't seem to work for me. But it is all about personal preference.
It's two ways to get to the same thing. In VV you are directly controlling the voltage to the coil. The device then delivers that voltage irregardless of the resistance of the coil. In VW you choose a wattage. The device measures the resistance of the coil and then adjusts voltage automatically to produce that wattage at the coil.

While it's true that VV has smaller steps, the difference in wattage steps between VV and VW is not very different because the volts are squared.
P(watts)=(V^2)/R(ohms)
In the example of going from 4.2V to 4.3V and using a 2ohm coil, you would have 8.82W at 4.2V and 9.245V at 4.3V. The jump in watts is 0.425W, which is only a slightly smaller increment compared with 0.5W in VW mode.
The one advantage of VV is that, at least with some PVs, you can output a lower wattage in VV mode than you can with VW. So, if you're interested in vaping at low wattage, VV might be your only choice.

The only advantage VW has over VV is when changing to a different ohm atty VW will keep the same power level. Using VV you'd have to adjust to get back to the same power level but you'll most likely adjust anyway as two attys will rarely vape the same, even at the same ohm rating with the same juice. Otherwise it's just two different ways of getting to the same place.

Always have been more comfortable with VV. I started with ego twists, bought a Provari, got real comfortable with VV, then bought an MVP2, and always switched to VV because that's what I know. I understand the merits of VW, but I pretty much have a mental picture of what volts I need to go with for what ohms my different devices run. Never bothered with the charts, just learned and now, the proper adjustment of my volts is just second nature.
Nothing against Variable Wattage though. As I said before, I'm just more comfortable with the tuning process of voltage. I know that if I run a protank II with a 1.8 ohm coil at 5.7 volts, you will see me in the hospital tomorrow haha.
Do what works best for you. As other people said, it's essentially different methods of accomplishing the same thing. And it was also stated that no 2 devices are different.
I run my 2.5 ohm RSST coil at 6 volts. Try that with a Protank II 2.4 ohm coil. I run my 2.0 ohm Kayfun coil at 4.2 volts. I just adjust to my needs. Works for me
