so I just got my SVD in the mail today and i was wondering does it adjust vv and vw or does it do vv or vw. Do you have to adjust both? Any recommended settings i should try? Sometimes ill get a good taste then hit it again and it'll be different. Thanks in advance

You only have to do one and the last setting you adjust is what it will power your device at. Try 8-9 Watts and see if you like that..
It depends on the resistance to help find the perfect wattage.

it will help you find the perfect volts/wattage range for your resistance.
It varies from user to user. If you use the wattage setting, which i prefer. the voltage will automatically be set for you. Just find your sweet spot and vape away.

Here is my go to for any starter on a new resistance. Check it out and adjust slowly as needed, some juices need more heat and some less. BTW, I started with my first apv set up the same way.

P.s. I love elipses and parenthesis...
you can use one method or another ( VV/VW) I have mine setup in VW ( variable Wattage mode) makes it "seem" more consistant when different coil resistances are used.
I have the SVD. It's a nice mod, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. A tip for you, be extra careful about dropping that one. I have several mods, and yes drop them all. The way the buttons stick on on both sides of the SVD made it a little less forgiving of my clumsiness. Still works but one side button is tricky now. My fault! Also your watermelon e juice should be great in it. I use watermelon from High Brow, excellent, if your into Jolly Ranchers.
Volts or watts settings are simply a different path to get you to the same destination. I generally prefer watts because I change toppers alot and don't want to fiddle with voltage changes for different resistance coils. With the wattage setting I just set 6 watts and leave her go. She does the work for me and adjust things to my preference automatically. When I use voltage mode, I have to adjust it according to the resistance of my coil in the tank I am using. For example, I have to turn it down when using a 1.8 ohm single coil, vs turning it back up if I use a 2.5 duel coil. I find I prefer all my juices and tanks at low settings. Anything over about 6.5 watts is disgusting to me. The power chart referenced earlier in this thread is a decent guide. There are a lot of folks who enjoy there experience in the way hot range of that chart though. As it was said earlier, just start off low and take a drag. turn it up a notch, and take another. When you get to where it tastes really great, just stop or try a few past that setting and then back it down. Every juice likes a different amount of heat. My bakery flavors like things warmer then my sweet fruity juices do.
First question. I have a dual coil at 1.6ohms. do I double the ohms when I enter them.
Next when i check the battery it says 4.2u.
Does this go into the current?
I have a SVD as well. I usually use mine on 8-8.5 VW and on VV around 3.8-4.0 Im still new to vaping so I tend to keep playing around with the settings.
The vv and vw modes are separate. If you're in vv mode the vw setting won't apply, and vice versa. Example: if you're in vv mode and have you're voltage set to 4 the wattage you get is dependent on the resistance (ohms) of your atomizer, as per ohms law. If you have a 2 ohm atomizer you'll get 8 watts, if you have a 2.5 ohm atty you'll get 6.4 watts. In vw mode you're voltage will set itself according to the resistance of the atomizer. At a setting of 8 ohms you'll use 4.47v with a 2.5 ohm atty and 4v with 2 ohm atty.

First off there is a strange thing that happens when you go to dual coils. The final resistance is actually half of what each individual coil is measured at. For the calculator though you would enter just the 1.6 ohms

And yes, the SVD will go to that rating, but you have to stack batteries and I don't recommend that

Then the two coils would be in parallel and not in series. Interesting.
I am assuming the SVD measures the resistance of the coil and displays it? Check the resistance of the coil a number of times and while you vape to see if it always reads the same number. There might be a problem in the VW mode if it doesn't correctly measure the resistance time after time.
If you are only using one tank, go to the VV mode and vary the voltage and get the thing dialed in so you are happy.
Different juices take different voltages too as do different coils.

Yes, the SVD measures the resistance of the coil/coils in the atomizer head of the tank (the part of the atomizer unit that vaporizes the juice so it can be inhaled). When it measures the resistance of dual coils it gives you the final output resistance in ohms just as it would if it were a single coil.
In the instance of dual coils, the resistance each single coil as compared to the final reading is almost half (almost in the case of RNA coils that may be .1 or .01 ohms from perfect) of the final reading. Why this happens I'm not entirely sure, I just know after building many dual coil RBA/RDA's that it is a fact.
In terms of the longevity of coils, as a coil gets used the coil will become thinner as the wire that forms the coil is fired repeatedly. The thinner wire will by nature hold a higher resistance over the same length of wire. So, what you should see is that the resistance of the coil will slowly increase as it is used over a number of months.
The VV mode is the easy way to do things and will actually make the calculation that the SVD does easier in terms of the way that it maintains a constant voltage as opposed to the way that it modifies the amount of power being pulled from the battery to hold a constant throughput into the coil at each time you fire it.
Anyway, long answer short, for a light flavor try 3.7-4.0v (I'll work out the wattage and get back to you) and for a heavier flavor (coffee or chocolate etc) try just a bit higher.
The sweet spot calculator is better if you are changing tanks/heads with various resistances and want to maintain the same hit on each tank and resistance.
Hope that helps
