ITaste VV V3 Question regarding VV and VW. Please help

[cnmsales]

Hey there. The battery in my Itaste V2 was dying so I decided to go buy me a new battery. I purchased the Itaste V3.

I have always known you could change the VV on these but didn't realize there was a setting to change the VW as well.

I am currently using a 1.8 ohm wick but do go between 1.8 and 2.0 depending on what the store I purchase from has in stock. I am using a kanger protank 2.

Can someone please explain to me what each vv and vw does when turned up and down. Im not looking for a technical explanation of what's happening but rather what the results are for each.

For example, what is the result of bumping the VV up to 4.2, which is where I normally keep mine set.

What is the result of turning the VW up to 11 versus it being set on say 8, where mine as been since owning it.

Additionaly. What are the negative effects if any of having these two settings turned up or down.


I appreciate any help in advance.
Thanks!

he explains it sorta well in there i believe.

Thanks for posting the video. I watched the whole thing but he never goes into what those settings do. More so just that they are there.

really? wow, I could have sworn that's where I went to figure it out... well, there's this one by rip tripper, it explains the difference real well.



Hope that helps

Thanks for posting this. So if I understand correctly adjusting the settings of both dont matter? I always thought you needed to adjust both to get it where you wanted it. But according to this its either in one mode or the other?

Also, thanks for posting as it was really helpful. It still didnt answer my questions though.

VV and VW are two way of getting to the same place, a good vape...
With VW you can adjust up or down until you get the best flavor and vapor production, if you change tanks or coils to a different resistance / ohms, it will automatically adjust for the same wattage.

With VV you can adjust up or down until you get the best flavor and vapor production, if you change tanks or coils to a different resistance / ohms, you will need to adjust the voltage again to get the same vape. Why use VV? It's handy if you have different flavors that shine at different temperatures, I find it easier to adjust, to find the best setting for each flavor.

Bottom line, either will work, find the setting that tastes best ....then look at what the numbers are, so you can set it the same next time....

The difference is more power. The 1.8 @ 4.2 is 9.8 watts. The vw you can set at 9 or 10 and it calculates the voltage needed to equal the watts with the particular ohm coil you have. So 10 watts would stay 10 watts when you go to 2.0 ohm it automatically adjusts the voltage to 4.4v so you have the same 9.8w.

If I were you I would run the 2.5 ohm on that at 5v for 10 watts. Your battery will last you a lot longer and you'll have a finer range of adjustment for taste.

Right, you select either VV or VW mode. You don't set both at the same time, it's one or the other.

Higher power, whether you get there by increasing voltage (VV mode) or increasing the power setting (VW mode) will heat quicker and hotter, boiling off more juice.

Whatever mode you pick, just go up in steps until the vape starts to taste off, then back down a step and you're done.

Many prefer VW mode since it will automatically adjust the delivered voltage to deliver the same power no matter what topper you put on. Within operating specs, of course. But still, you may want to adjust for different flavors. They don't all "like" the same heat.

Thanks for the information everyone. Its such a shame I didnt realize mine had a VW setting on it. Now that I have discovered it its like a whole new world. Im currently using a 1.8 ohm wick turned to 11 on VW. Im loving the amount of vape and flavor increase im getting. Would going to a 2.0 or 2.2 ohm wick give me more or less?

Since the top end of the VV3 is 11 watts, going to a higher Ω coil would give you less vapor, since you can't go any higher to compensate.

Btw, it's the coil that has resistance, not the wick. Wicks are usually silica in factory heads, but can be user changed to lots of different organic fiber or other materials. I use cotton. Coils, the actual heating element, are generally Kanthal resistance wire, although some use nichrome.

You can go up to 2.2 and still get 11w, 2.2 would be 11w @ 5v .the max voltage on vv3 is 5v... The benifit would be an increase in battery life. Right now your 1.8 @ 11w is running at 4.5v. Lower ohm coils run your battery down faster. if you were happy at 10w you could go up to 2.5 and get eve longer life.

So the lower Ohm allows for more vape though right? I enjoy a huge cloud. So I think I'll sacrifice the battery for it Thanks again for the info.
