So as far as I know lower ohms produce more heat/vapor when vaped at the same voltage (for example a 1.5 ohm coil would produce more heat and vapor at 4 volts than a 2 ohm coil), but would ohms have any impact whatsoever on the heat/vapor production on a variable wattage device? For example if I were to vape 1.5 ohm coil at 15 watts instead of a 2 ohm coil at 15 watts would I see any difference? I'd assume it wouldn't make any difference but just wanted to make sure.

really it depends on the device you use. Obviously, like you said, the less resistance the more power. But, the less power, the less heat. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not strictly because of the device. I do know from experience, however, that the MVP 2, even though I love it, does not perform as well as the iTaste CLK when using 5 volts. The CLK is much more of a true voltage where as the MVP is not. The reason is because of the electrical work inside the device.

Anyway, I'm not expert at this, so that's just my :2c:

Watts are watts. A different resistance coil will require a different voltage to consume the same watts, and on a VW device, it will automatically adjust the voltage (within it's range) to provide the watts you set. So, no, it won't make a difference in the vape.

Which is, of course, one of the nice things about VV/VW batteries - you can adjust the power to suit the coil you have and the flavor.
