The lower the ohms and the higher the voltage means more resistance. More resistance means more heat, more vapor and a stronger hit.

This is incorrect. Ohms is a unit used to measure impedance (of which resistance is the main component for our purposes, and the two terms are often used interchangeably). Replace "resistance" in your post with "power" or "watts", and it becomes accurate.

Lower resistance (ohms) will yield higher power (watts) if the voltage remains constant. So at 3.7v @ 1.5ohms will be 9.1 watts, while 3.7v @ 2.5ohms is 5.5 watts (less power). More power = more vapor.

^ +1 You got to it before me. More watts = more heat and vapor.
A quick chart so you can quickly tell what wattage you can vape on your device with the stock Ωcoil heads:
(Atty Ω value across top, voltage setting on left, wattage for setting where the two merge.)

Atty Ω → 1.80---2.40---2.80
3.0-------5.00---3.75---3.21
3.1-------5.34---4.00---3.43
3.2-------5.69---4.27---3.66
3.3-------6.05---4.54---3.89
3.4-------6.42---4.82---4.13
3.5-------6.81---5.10---4.38
3.6-------7.20---5.40---4.63
3.7-------7.61---5.70---4.89
3.8-------8.02---6.02---5.16
3.9-------8.45---6.34---5.43
4.0-------8.89---6.67---5.71
^Volts

You can plainly see that:
The lower the Ωs at the same voltage, the higher the wattage/vapor.
The higher the voltage at the same Ωs, the higher the wattage/vapor.

Hey, thanks for that. I don't have the best understanding myself, but then I barely touch VV. I've tried it and it isn't my bag. :)

Sorry for the misinformed statements.

No prob, we're all here to learn ;)

Maybe vw would be more your style. You don't need to worry about what resistance you're using, or crunching numbers to figure out what voltage setting to use. Nice and easy.

Nah. I'm just too lazy to fiddle with the setting all the time, or even at all. Besides, I like my autos more than my manuals.

Give me a simple tank and atty or an Echo cartomizer and I'm content.

That's the benefit of vw, you don't need to fiddle with it. Set it once (8 watts is a good setting), when you get it, and the setting is good for all your tanks and attys and cartomizers, with a more consistent performance. But, if you found something that works for you, that's all that matters.
