Variable Wattage Device Help!

[rstan33]

I am looking to buy a Kanger IPOW v2 1600mAh. I believe it goes up to 15 watts (advertised). I have never used a VV or VW device. I have a bunch of coil heads some are 1.8 ohm and some are 2.2 ohm. Does the resistance level matter with a device that is strictly variable wattage? I assume the voltage will automatically increase or decrease with changing the wattage? I am just wondering it simply being able to adjust wattage will be better to vape from if the voltage will automatically zero out anyway, and if my coil heads make a difference? I am real to to the idea of variable voltage and watts... appreciate any info!!! Oh and I use single coil kanger heads if that matters... I am worried I am gonna set this thing to 15 watts and burn it out !

The voltage should go up and down as you change the wattage. I use my vv/vw vamo v3, and my itazte MPV every day on their wattage settings. However if you go over 10 or 11 watts you're most likely going to fry the coil heads on kanger single coils. Also one of the good things about most vv/vw devices is that it simply won't fire if the resistance is too low for the battery to take (however be careful of faulty equipment). Hope this helped as I was a bit fuzzy on your actual question

You should be fine with that device if it performs as advertised. You might have to adjust the wattage down for the higher ohm coils but in my experience 15 watts is more than enough for a 1.8 ohm head.

No the resistance doesn't matter much; that's why there are vv and vw devices; you can adjust the vv or vw instead of having to find a particular resistance.

Voltage is automatically adjusted by the wattage you manually set. It's then calculated depending on the resistance of your coils.

A 15 watt device will perform beautifully with 1.8 ohm heads. I doubt you'll need more than 11W to comfortably fire them.

Play around with Steam-Engine to find out some specifics about how wattage/voltage varies depending on resistance, and how changing one variable (ie: wattage) will change the other variables (ie: voltage).
