Whats the functional difference between a 2 volt battery and a 4 volt one? Is that how much the battery holds when full? How much electricity it uses to make vapor? I don't know much about electricity but I have a feeling that will change over time if I ask questions here.

Welcome, and no question is stupid if you don't know the answer and are trying to find it.
I have no clue to your answer, but someone else will!
Best wishes!

Just wait, it's Sunday and I'm sure the evening crowd will help you.
I'm not one with a whole lot of the tech info, or I would give you a answer.
You can do a search here as well, and it will pull up some post that might help as well.

Hehe...Xenu....that's pretty funny!

I think that'll give you a good grasp of how voltage, mah and resistance all work together in the vaping world.

The voltage determines how much power the battery is going to use to heat up the atomizer, for example if you used a standard atomizer at 3.7v which is a regular e-cig battery, and the same atomizer at 5v, you would notice the difference dramatically, more power = more vapor and bigger hit.
That did explain one thing to me: I learned that people can use multiple batteries, leading me to suspect this is more about longevity between charges than heating the liquid to a higher temperature. Then again, it might be to vaporize more liquid faster. At least I know what a 'mod' is now.
I'm glad you like my name. Its poking fun at a certain organization I'm not too fond of, but thats a discussion for other places.
The reference didn't slip past me. LOL!
"Mod" is short for a modification. There are standard PV batteries like the KR808D-1, 510, Riva, eGo, Tornado and there are modified PV's like the Indulgence, Provape-1, Roughstack that have been put together and designed for specialized vaping. They're usually a higher voltage and in some cases allow you to customize the voltage, in order to use specialized "low-resistance" or "high-voltage" atomizers. The combination of these things changes the vaping experience by delivering warmer, more dense vapor and better taste from some juices.
The mah of a battery determines how long it will last between charges. The higher the mah rating, the longer it can be used before completely discharging. Heat is just the product of the equation here. Battery voltage combined with the ohm's in the atomizer will determine how intense the vaping experience is. The general rule is that low-resistance (LR) should be used with batteries that are at least 3.7V. Lower voltage batteries will be drained faster because of the power being generated and in some cases, the battery can be ruined. That is why using LR attys on PT's or regular batteries isn't recommended. There are people here who use LR's on their eGo's, but they do so with the understanding that there is a certain risk involved (at least, I hope they do!

Battery life is measured in maH, Milli-Amp Hours. Standard 510 batteries are about 180 maH, Ego batteries 650 maH... I use 900maH batteries in the little box mod I'm using.
I have an ego 900maH battery that lasts longer than the 900 in my box mod. Reason? The ego runs at 3.2 volts, whereas the mod runs at 3.7. Higher voltage = faster drain. Think of the battery like a bucket with a hole in the bottom. When you draw on your PV, you're unplugging that "hole". Higher mah = bigger bucket. Higher voltage = bigger hole.
Does that make sense?
Yes. Mah(milli amp hours)=bucket size, voltage = size of hole in bucket. Thank you. Since battery life is important, by default I prefer large Mah and low voltage.
I think I'm gonna try to figure out this part in the morning. Thanks for helping WomanOfHeart.The mah of a battery determines how long it will last between charges.

Yes, exactly. Thus, a 900maH battery at 3.2v runs longer than a 900maH battery at 3.7. The 3.7 drains faster... but it runs hotter, thus producing better vapor. Add a LR carto or atomizer on top of it, and it runs hotter still (and drains slightly faster as well).
900maH is still a hell of a charge, though, and even at 3.7 and with LR, one will last me the better part of a day before I need to swap it out. A 900maH ego battery (at 3.2v), running a standard carto, will go a full day and then some before it needs recharging.
