I understand electricity and Ohms law but am curious what is the difference between the watts and volts settings on a MVP2. I watched a video from GrimmGreen and he made it sound like you adjust one or the other. Is this true or should they work together?
MVP2 Watts vs Volts?

This is true you can only adjust one or the other, the other will change acordingly.
the end result is the same. The total power applied to the coil as a result of the calculations of volts and resistance.
But to boil it all down.
variable voltage - You set the desired voltage applied to the coil to achieve the desired vape.
-- As the battery voltage drops, the actual applied power drops and you have to keep bumping up the voltage to compensate. Some prefer this level of control
variable wattage - You set the desired wattage (power) applied to the coild to achieve the desired vape.
-- As the battery voltage drops, the MVP2 will AUTOMATICALLY adjust the voltage required to apply your desired wattage so you get a clean consistent vape through the life of the battery.
Many people prefer variable wattage because of this "hands off" approach. Letting the chip in the mod decide the required voltage for your particular resistance. That way you don't have to do the math and keep checking your batteries base voltage every several draws.
Hope this helps.

You adjust one or the other.
If you are used to 3.7 volts ego batteries, you can just set it to 3.7 volts , put your usual topper on, and vape away;
then you can adjust up or down and see if it makes things better.
In watts mode, you set the watts, and the chip inside measures the ohms of your coil, and decides what voltage to use.
The math relating the two is:
watts = volts x volts / ohms
Thanks Crit! That makes a lot of sense. I was starting to wonder if having 2 settings but could only adjust 1 was just a gimmick, but I see vw is the way to go for me.
This is new to me (today) and I have been playing with the adjustments but enjoying wherever I put it. I'm sure that will change when I start really analyzing every drag!

No problem. Variable wattage was a great step forward for vaping. Sometimes information can be overwhelming (and varied). I was short of direct answers on this exact topic when i started out as well. If you stick with vaping long enough and get into some of the more advance stuff you'll soon find you have acquired a working basic knowledge in electronics!
