For the long time VV users. What's your typical usage?

Do you switch the voltage often depending on the situation? i.e. juice/Flavor.

If you have the option do you fine tune the voltage often other than standard 3.2/3.7/6?

A little background: I switched from analog to vaping, while on vacation with an experienced vaper. In the process, I got to try a lot of stuff, ego at 3.2, riva at 3.7, foxy box at 6. Great n00b experience, as I'm at least aware of the differences, and can see a where some flavors might work better. All good, and I left with 2 egos, and some supplies to get me going, and full knowledge that I would be sooner rather than later, be upgrading.

Now I'm starting to consider the long term purchase, and read up on a ton of options. Two things I know: 1) I don't want to be a collector 2) The ultimate device has some flexibility, specifically in terms of VV.

I guess the real bottom line is how often do you load up juice and tune the device and determine "Wow, this is best at 4.3 volts".

Sometimes the voltage just sits at one setting for days. Sometimes I am changing the voltage around often.

Reasons I change voltage:
Atomizer/Cartomizer (This can be because of a new one, an old one, one that has been cleaned, or one that needs to be cleaned, or even the atomizer needs a little dry burn.)
Juice - Either flow rate and/or flavor
Throat Hit - I need the vapor to be hotter or cooler for whatever reason.

I "tune" the voltage to match what I need in a vape at that moment and to make the atomizer work best for me.

My VV also measures the resistance of the atomizer/cartomizer on the unit, so that makes it easy for me to pick a voltage to start experimenting with as I have discovered the Watt range that generally works for me.

I like bakery flavors at around 5.2V and I usually leave it there. Every once in a while I will crank it up a bit more, but that's about it. I use my Reo mini with an LR atty and tobacco flavors because to me, tobacco is one of the only flavors that work for me with LR attys and using a Reo is useful for it's convenience (driving, anything that would be hard to do dripping).

I can't stress enough how GOOD it is to be able to adjust your voltage to any atty/carto/flavor/vg/pg ratio/mood/need you may have at any given moment and have that vape remain constant until you decide to change it again. With VV I feel like vaping is working WITH me instead of against me as I have felt many times with devices that are a fixed voltage or unregulated.

My Big Brother VV always sits at @6.5 Volts because it is my 'coffee vape'. I've recently gotten some Varivolt eGo batts that range from 3.3 to 4.2V and I've been varying them according to flavors and that works rather well. So it depends :) Coffee needs the heat so that's a constant. Black Currant tastes good at 3.3V (on a 2.2 ohm B type eGo atty) and Real Tabs (tobacco) tastes best at the higher voltages.
