What a classic!
If Einstein had invented the ecig, what would it be like and would it conform to Ohm's Law or be a product of particle physics, or both?

Every thing conforms with physics. If something doesn't confrom with it: Physics has to change, not the inverse.
That being said... I would Love to have the Einstein Mod! Perhapse a Variable Relativistic device. "when you vape it, time slows down!"
You would get heavier, I'm sure, but your batteries would last longer.
It could be called the Relavista mod.
I'm interested in Kaku and Hawking's theory that a black hole terminates into a white hole in another universe. Maybe this ecig wouldn't emit vapor. Not so fun for those who like thick clouds.
If we could just send some of our excess CO2 and other unwanted waste into a black hole ... great idea for a galactic garbage disposal.

oh wait, nevermind.
You must be thinking about Will Wheaton from Big Bang Theory.
if you're using a regulated device i'd say it's pretty unnecessary, as you can adjust to taste without worrying about breaking anything. kind of weird to ask why bother with something and then answer your own question in the very next paragraph though. For mechanicals and rebuildables, it's definitely pretty necessary if you want a comparable vape, IMO
I like VV so much that I wouldn't really consider a mech mod in the future. To get any kind of battery life and safety, you need a full size IMR battery, so we are stuck with size. I do like the size of the eGo models for stealth vaping in a restaurant.
I carry my Provari in my pants pocket in the summer and in a jacket pocket in the winter.
Ohm's Law is for geeks and those who want to precisely calculate current draw from a power source using a specific device resistance. I grew up with Ohm's Law and used it frequently in my Tech Rep career. Most of the time I only needed my Fluke meter to get through the mumbo jumbo troubleshooting world. I didn't design circuits; I was a troubleshooter.
There are numerous Ohm's Law calculators on the web that will get you what you need to know. For the purists, it's necessary to be able to use the various formulas. If you have a smart phone, help is always there.

There is a difference, imo, about knowing what Ohm's law is and knowing it's equations. But your are right... We don't need Ohms law in our daily vaping. It's just a tool for the more "extreme" vapers out there that do want to vape (relatively) safely.
I agree that it's useless if you don't understand the relationships between voltage, amperage, resistance, and current. People who are winding their own coils will benefit from understanding the jargon and how to use it to their advantage. The average vaper just needs to know what resistance will work well at which voltage.
The most beneficial addition to mods will be the incorporation of a thermistor that reads juice heat and a dial that controls the voltage setting to get the optimum heat. That would take all the other parameters off the table and create an ecig with a virtual volume (flavor and vapor) control. Somewhere around +/- 200 degrees seems to be the starting point with a top stop lockout to prevent the formation of Acrolein.

I'm sure it's been kicked around before. The barrier would be that the thermistor needs to be in the head to read consistently. It's also possible that a non-contact infrared sensor could be in a position in the mod itself that looked at the coil and wick without spatters covering the sensor. I can see issues with reliability and cost.
I'm thinking that it would take some ingenious design to come up with something that works AND is very reliable. It's not beyond the realm of possibility.
I care, I care a lot.
Between working in the electrical/industrial electronics industry, working on a degree in electronics, and my life as an advanced vaper, my whole world revolves around Ohm's Law, derivative theories, and related concepts. When I go to sleep I dream about beautiful control systems or have nightmares nonsensical schematics and PLCs that want kill me. If I let my mind wander and start to daydream, it is about electrical theory.

I used to be an avid after hours experimenter, first with circuitry and devices and later (in the 70s and 80s) with computer building and gadgets that furthered my knowledge in integrated circuits. My early electronics training was in tube theory and solid state. (Yes, tubes!). I was the guy who went into Radio Shack a couple of times a month to see the new chips that had arrived. I'd breadboard chips with LED indicators and run logic data trains through them and watch the flip flops, inverters, and gates work with flashing LEDs.
Then computers took me away and I got head over heels into programming and building computers. I wrote software for businesses around town and made enough money to finance my hardware obsession.
These days I'm a user unless there's a need to build something that isn't available. I've been putting off upgrading my old AMD X2-2200 desktop cpu and motherboard. Being a Best Bang for the Buck type of guy, I've procrastinated while the new chips were replaced by faster and better ones.
Right now, I'm waiting for the AMD FX-8350 8 core CPU prices to fall a bit and then I'll spend $350 or so on a CPU, Motherboard, and new Graphics Card! I already have an Antec 700 watt power supply and a great case with two perfectly good hard drives (400G together), a Sony CD, a good DVD drive and a 22" LCD monitor.
Having to change platforms means that my top of the line AGP video card is trash, along with my MB and memory.
