I'm sorry for asking all the stupid questions, but if someone could break it all down to plain English I'd be REALLY grateful!!! If someone could just say that VV = Flavour. VW = temperature. Omh = (I can't even guess???)
First, don't worry 'bout it. It's not much.
VV
and VW = temperature.
End of story.
It's really a convenience thing. People find different juices are better at different temps. That's purely personal preference and taste. VV/VW is so you can adjust to taste. Knowing the voltage or wattage (the second V and the second W) is a convenience. As in, maybe you like juice X at voltage Y. But juice A at voltage C. So instead of having to "fiddle" to find what you like, you can "set it" and go.
Basically, just start low on the setting (either one, which ever, just start low) and work your way up gradually until you go, "yum".
And that's about it.
You ever used an electric stove or electric space heater? You know, coils that heat up and turn red? That is basically the same thing going on inside a PV ("e-cig"). Little coils that electricity runs through and they heat up (and actually do glow red by the way) to vaporize the juice. Run more power through them, they get hotter. Less power, the get cooler. Just like an electric stove or electric space heater, you turn the knob to get the amount of heat you want.
You can look at it that simply. Higher = hotter. Lower = cooler. And that's both VV and VW. They're two ways of looking at the same equation.
(VW is the way to get the most consistent results if you switch clearomizers or cartomizers or whatever you, personally, attach to the battery. It adjusts to the resistance of the little heater coil to deliver the voltage needed to hit more or less the same temperature. It's probably the most convenient of the convenient "variable" thingies.
)
The only warning is be careful buying anything advertised as "low resistance". That's when you have to start paying closer attention since you can drive "low resistance" devices high enough to scorch your juice (yuk) or burn out the coil (and have to buy replacements). And, again, always start
low on the settings (either one, VV or VW) and move up. Some juices do great at just about every temp. Some "fry" easily and taste awful.
By the way, if you haven't bought yet, think about a Joyetech Twist (found
here) or a Vision Spinner (found
here). Both good, both VV (but not VW), both
really easy to use. I'm using Twists. Thinking of trying a Spinner. Maybe switching over time (when I have to replace a battery, they last a long time but not forever).
They both have a little dial at the bottom and it's just a matter of turning it to what you like (again, starting at the lowest setting of 3.3 and moving upward until you find a setting you like... always start low and come up, always).
Much less to "figure out". But you get the variable temperature thing. Which is very nice. I have some juices that are better "cooler", others that are better "warmer".
The iTaste, from what I read, is a great unit. But if it's confusing, why bother? Maybe later. When "ohms" and stuff make more sense. If you ever care. You don't have to. You can get the "variable voltage" much more simply with the Twist or Spinner. They're both more like the electric stove or electric heater. You just turn a dial to get the heat you want.
