MVP v2 users, what is your preferred setting?

[Wes F.]

I can get by with 3.7v or 7watts on most devices. It depends on the coil design. I usually run a dual coil 1.7ohm a little higher than i run a 1.7ohm single coil. iCear30s seem to like a bit more power too because of the dual coil design. Im not sure about the ohms on the first iClear30 i bought but i ran it at 4v-4.2v on my original MVP.

I typically run either 3.7v or around 7watts on anything upto 2.2ohms and a single coil. After that they seem to need more volts and heat. Some of it depends on my mood too. Using a smok DCT tank with a 1.5ohm dual coil, the vape is pretty good at only 7watts or 3.8v but if i want a harder throat hit, i go upto around 8.5-9watts.

BTW which ever you set last on the MVP V2 is the setting it runs on. So if you change volts, its running on volts and if you change watts its then using watts as the constant along with ohms for the RMS equation. It appears to be the same for setting it on volts. Volts and ohms are then the constants and watts becomes the variable in the equation.

Setting it to VV takes Root Mean Square (RMS) out of the picture. Only when you put the device into VW mode does it do the math and determine for you the correct voltage to apply, based on the resistance of your coil, to give you the same power for any coil/head/tank you throw on your VW device. When you use your device in VV mode, it doesn't matter if you put a 1.8 ohm coil or 2.5 ohm coil on it. It will apply the same amount of voltage and you will get varying amounts of power based in the resistance of your coil.

5 volts on a 1.8 ohm coil = 13.89
5 volts on a 2.5 ohm coil = 10.00

I probably used the wrong terminology.

So how or what does it set the watts at if i set it to volts?

Lets assume im setting it to 3.8v on a 1.7ohm coil....What would the watts be? Is it a preset amount or does it adjust the watts automatically?

eVod, 1.8ohm coil, 9w.

If you use VV instead of VW, it doesn't set the watts. You have to pick up a calculator and figure it out. For example:

3.8 * 3.8 / 1.7 = 8.49 watts

It's a simple equation, no algebra involved, no farmers with 89 watermelons with 2 gallons of fuel trying to go 60 miles.

Since I'm a heavy vaper, and burn or clog coils daily, I put mine at the lowest volts and watts. Now I'm taking long slow hits. It seems to be working

Btw, speaking of VW and the MVP2 if you havnt seen Field of Vapor's review yet, check it out. Skip to about 5:30 if you just want to see the section where he takes reading of actual wattage output VS what you set it to.

After being a dct tank and carto guy for a long time I find I have a hard time getting anything that will carry as much flavor as Cartos will.

My protank2 is close. But, even with using 90-95% pg juice I kept getting dry hits..even with really low volts/watts and had to pull some of the flavor wicks from the heads. After replacing those with cotton I find it a non-issue.

I run between 1.8-2.4 ohm setups. My sweet spot for voltage is approximately double the volts of whatever ohm coils I'm running. (2ohm at around 4volts etc.)

And like my wattage somewhere between 6 and 9..9.5 or 10 is a rarity.
