Personal Taste Wattage Versus Voltage

[GLBrocks]

I find that I am adjusting more to taste in voltage settings. I have dabbled with wattage settings on my Vamo, but it tends to come back to voltage 99% of the time. I was just wondering what people were thinking about when it came to wattage versus voltage? I tend to be a voltage person over a wattage person. Can someone explain what they like more and maybe change my thoughts?

There's no wrong answer to this question in my opinion. I tend to stay in VW mode probably 80% of the time on my Vamo, but I play with VV mode too. I just like having the option to do either.

2 ohms at 4 volts tastes exactly the same as 2 ohms at 8 watts.

So I guess those 2 ohms don't care what mathematical formula you use to get there.

Guess what?! 2 ohms at 2 amps will still get you to the same place.

I'm a confirmed VV guy through and through.

Until I get a Vamo next month, then I'll probably be a confirmed VW guy.

Just love having different options to play with

I use VV on my Vamo because .5W increments seem like too much of a jump for me. Now i do use VW on my Evic, and i prefer it as it dials in a lot more finely than the V increments

Ok everyone, I am a true believer in VW now. I bought a ZMAX and all I can say is sold and amazing. I personally like to set and forget now and changing the voltage every time was a pain in the rump. Thanks again for everyone who responded and I appreciate that.

I prefer voltage probably because my Provari is my out of the house mod. But I have some VW I like them but If I had a choice Id pick Voltage.

.5w increments are pretty close to .1v increments, but with VV the adjustment is a bit more fine, for example:

For wattage there are 25 total available settings, for voltage there are 31 (assuming your standard 3v-6v 3w-15w chip)

I usually use wattage when using carto tanks as 10w with cartos is my sweet spot, when using rebuildables I switch to voltage so I can fine tune a bit more. Plus, in wattage mode you can't get as much power as you can in voltage mode, using LR stuff.

For example, a 1.5ohm coil set at 15 watts is only delivering 4.7v. If you switch to voltage mode, you could turn to the voltage up to 5.5v for example, and get around 20watts, and still be well under the amp limit of the device. This type of power is only possible in dual-battery configuration, with a single battery the voltage increase will flatten out a lot sooner.

I'm both. My vamo is pretty much at 7w all the time, but my other devices are vv and mech.

It is all personal preference, at the end of the day Ampere is Ampere, it's what matters. Both VV and VW get you there, VW is less tinkering and more consistency for me. I tend to think more in Amp terms as it helps with my battery life. Wait, is VI (variable current) the next knob in mods

I've said this before, but I'm a "V(x)" guy. I don't really care what the 2nd letter is. As long as it has a steering wheel, I can drive it.

The B&M that I purchased my VAMO from set me in VW mode so I haven't played with the VV yet. I do bounce around quite a bit in VW mode! I love my VAMO!

And that's about the ONLY thing that matters.

I am all for variable wattage devices. However, I have said it before and I will say it again: I find people who absolutely have to have and go on about variable wattage ignorant and annoying. You know the ones I am talking about.

 

[Litta'sGabby]

Whew, not me then! I'm lucky that the store preset it for me....I probably would have blown all my clearos out if they hadn't.

 

[xbassman]

With my Vamo's, I leave it in VW mode since it remembers all the settings that way.

If I build a coil that is acting up, I'll switch to VV though.
That is, until I fix the issue.
When the resistance reading jumps around the vape get a little weird.

Nope. Haven't seen 'em ;-)

hahaha but I bet you sure have heard them.



"OMG Becky, I totally would buy that mod, but I just can't use it because it is like you know just VV and not VW"

---"yeah Tiffany VV is totally hard"

excellent!!!

I don't care if it is a lumberjack and a Somali pirate having the conversation....that is how I read posts when people trash VV. People are entitled to their opinions. I just don't like when they praise VW and rant about VV just because it is not for them.
