Is Variable Voltage really that useful or is it overrated?

[klynnn]

I was not happy with 3.7 v. It was okay but I wanted a little more. I rarely vape over 4.5v or 7.5 w. Just because you can doesn't mean you need to.

I'd say it's not a necessity but I myself wouldn't be without one. I like vw as well. Like others have said, some juices just taste better if you can crank it up a notch. 90% of the time I'm fine with a 1.5ohm coil at 3.7v. Other times I like to dial it up. Not to mention the pure flexibility of vv. 1.5 ohm coil vs 3ohm coil or such. Doesn't matter you just dial it up to get the wattage you prefer to vape at.

I have to use the VV settings on some of my different juices. I have 1 or 2 juices that tastes burnt as soon as I go above 3.7 volts and then I have 1 that only has a flavor at above 4.2 volts.

It is the same for me. Totally dependent on the juice.

I'd say it makes a world of a difference for me as a newbie. I am still trying to find what juices I prefer and what PG/VG ratio i like. If I stuck with one e-liquid it may not matter, but I have some liquids that on lower voltages, I get almost no flavor. On the other side of the spectrum, I have some flavors that taste fine on a higher votage but the throat hit is unbearable for me. It really all seems to come down to what works for the individual, but VV, for me, has definitely been great.

it makes a difference in taste to me but im still ne to vaping

VV let you figure out that you like 4.5 volts. I suspect that the more you experiment with juices and delivery devices the more you will appreciate VV. Batteries put out between 4.2 and about 3.5 volts depending on how long since they have been recharged. VV regulates that to what you have set.

I really like my mechanical pv's and sometimes I use very small regulated eGo's, but otherwise I use VV exclusively.

I'm loving my Triton VVs. Being able to select different ohm coils and figure out the voltage for certain e-liquids has really brought some flavors to life. I also like how the VV maintains voltage as the battery depletes, rather than drop power until it needs charged.

I think you have your answer lol

+1 for vv/vw

Watching this thread with interest, thanks for all those coming out in support (or no thanks, because you're going to cost me more money)!

I have a few friends with VV that all say they don't get much out of it - of course they're not as obsessive as I am and reading ECF for hours a day and buying new parts out the wazoo. Based on their experience I've bought a whole bunch of standard batteries (wife and I each have 3 with 2 more apiece on the way), which I'm thinking should last us a few months at least, along with all the Evods and Protanks we've acquired (though I have a preorder on some Smoktech Aro pyrex tanks too)...if I can get to break-even with my cig budget by then I may reward myself by blowing up the budget again with some VV toys, this thing looks cool, not sure if I'd consider it a 'mod' or a really fancy Ego:

Another reason for going with vv/vw type batteries/mods: Power regulation. That simple 4.2 volt (or whatever) battery is not going to keep a steady voltage as the charge wanes. While I do still use smaller eGo (actually Triton) batteries, a freshly charged battery loses voltage output throughout its run time. Better to have a regulated battery that provides a steady voltage throughout its run time.

I'm not sold on the fact that "standard resistance" exists... I keep 4 T3's in constant rotation. Just bought new heads, so far I've had a 2.2, 2 2.4's and a 2.6. All bought at the same time. Plus, one juice I use is very light (spearmint) and burns at anything over 3.4v no matter what I put it in (carto, ProTank, T3), and another juice I use always comes very think and only tastes good at 4.4 or above. So I definitely think VV/VW is VERY useful...
