More volts = more watts, watts = heat.
It's desirable because you get more control over the vapour production of your attached liquid feed (and personally, more options). You may have noticed that add's come in different resistances. high, low, standard (or specific ohms). With a higher resistance you need more volts to get the same watts. Putting a 3.5ohm onto a 3.7v device will make a horrid vape, not enough heat. Likewise, if you use a 1.5ohm at 6 volts it will promptly burn out.
There's more to it than this that can be explained more clearly, but that's my basic understanding of it.

Variable voltage allows you to increase and/or decrease the voltage you are supplying to the cartomizer/atomizer/clearomizer/etc. By raising or lowering the voltage, you change the power(watts), giving you a cooler or warmer vape. Higher voltage will give you a warmer vape, more vapor. Lower voltage gives a cooler vape and less vapor in the same size puff. Some flavors/juices taste better at higher voltages, some are better at lower. If you search for the voltage chart it will show you a good guideline for where you would want your voltage depending on what the resistance of your atty/carto/etc is.
If your looking to get into a VV device, check out the ego twist. Small size, good battery life, easy to adjust voltage. I still use one every day, even though I have a ProVari also.

After reading for a few days here I am considering just jumping into the provari, in my experience with all things in life you get what you pay for. that being said, I still have a lot to understand about the inner workings of the vaping world, and I was stumped on the whole idea of vv. thanks for helping guys, I now have a slightly clearer vision of what it is used for. so i take it that I just type in vv chart in the advanced search function?
edit, thanks for the chart..lol

I would go Vv if you have a choice, as other said it will give you more control over your vaping.
Another way to get a starting point for what voltage to vape is this.
Ohms +2 -.2
Ex:
3 ohm atty add 2 = 5 then deduct .2 from 5 = 4.8 volts now go up or down a bit from there depending on the juice and how you like your vape. But this keeps you from having to look at the chart so much. If it tastes a little burnt, go down a couple notches in .1 increments If you aren't getting much flavor/vapor, go up a couple notches at a time.
As you can see from my siggy line, I do think vv makes a world of difference! Plus you don't have to worry so much about which Ohms you're getting when you buy a juice holder. First time I bought some ce3's they accidentally sent me a higher ohm than I ordered, or I may have clicked on the wrong one. Without a vv, that would have been bad, but with it, I could put enough voltage to them to make them taste good.

VV allows you to get to higher volts without stacking batteries, by regulating the output of the battery. It also allows you to adjust your voltage for different resistance cartos, or flavors, to ensure you get the vapor production and taste you are looking for.
