When you change voltage you are also changing wattage, a simple chart can show the nominal wattage you are using with different resistance attys/cartos. A 1.8 ohm carto at 4 volts is going to vape at about 9 watts for example. Using the chart you can easily use and eGo twist and find the wattage you want to vape at.

For the most part the reason I'm curious if there's eGo-T sized PV's with VW is I already have an idea of ideal wattage(~5.5W) and I'd like to be able to just set that and forget it(aka lazymode)
Right now I have an eGo-C tank @ 1.6ohm, 1 clearo that I think is around 2.4ohm, another mini-clearo at 2.3ish ohm, and I'm planning on picking up a T3 and probably a Mini Nova.
Like I said, I just kind of want to be lazy, set the PV to ~5.5W and let it auto-tweak the voltage for me, just in a package about 15mm wide.
Eh, if such a device doesn't exist, I'm flexible enough to aim for a Twist or an eVic

Thanks for the chart by the way.

This is the kind of answer I was looking for

Nothing that small yet. Closest you'll probably get to "small VW" is the vamo in mini mode which takes a single 18350. Even if you aren't looking for something that big (they're not even that big, an 18350 is almost exactly the size of a 6ml juice bottle), might be worth it even as an "around the house" device for the cheap price they're going for these days.

Oh, if they've gotten a VV as small in diameter as an eGo, then it's nothing to add the VW circuitry to the chip and not increase the size of the battery compartment. A little additional length isn't the problem. I just don't like the idea of holding a 55 gal drum in my hand.

Have you ever held one? I used to have the same way of thinking and once I actually had one and used one, that made me realize the insignificance of the slightly bigger size. I actually prefer something like the size of my buzz to something as skinny as the ego.

No, I haven't held one, but I've seen videos of the larger ones and they look huge to me.

On a funny note... In the beginning I was using the cig lookalikes and I thought at that time the eGo battery was huge, now that's what I'm using.
However, the clearomizer I'm using (Kanger T3) has a diameter just slightly larger than the eGo battery which brings the perception of size back down where it looks normal.
If I would put the T3 on a larger battery I would think it looked like Beetlejuice when he was sitting next to the witch doctor and his head shrunk down to almost nothing... :D

Everything you see online looks huge.. most of the time it's a LOT smaller than you think it is. When I first got my Buzz I was expecting this fist engorging piece of self-gravitating machinery and it still surprises me to this day how light and small it is, and my Buzz probably weighs the same as a full 30ml bottle. Actually the first time I held a Provari in person I was like "wait, this is it? Where's the rest of it?" because they all look MASSIVE in pictures.

I remember my first ego battery too. My first was one of the original Joye 650's and coming from cig-a-likes I remember I couldn't bring myself to get a bigger one because I thought even the little 650 was going to be too big. When it showed up in the mail I remembering worrying about losing it every time I turn around because it was so small. And it did get lost often!
