Any advice for using either volts or watts??? I have an innoken svd been using on 8watts...seems to vape very well.
Volts or watts???

It is truly two different ways of doing the exact same thing. Watts is simply the amount of power provided after the resistance of your atomizer, clearo, etc. If you use the voltage feature on your device, you will still be producing watts (power), the watts feature simply allows your device to change its output voltage to maintain the same amount of watts (power) regardless of what atty, clearo, etc you are using, to a point at least.
Either feature will provide you with the exact same vape, it's just a matter of preference honestly.
Maybe this will help a bit.
Amps=Voltage/Resistance and Watts=VoltagexAmps

The great thing about the SVD is that when you are vaping in the wattage mode and change tanks, it will adjust the voltage to produce the same wattage for you. That way you have the same vapor from just about any resistance coil you top it with. I love mine as i have different tanks for different flavors and they all vape the same when I use the wattage mode.
Hey there faboom,
Go with the Watts, at 8 watts you will be able to swap out cartos/clearos without adjusting the watts,
the svd will adjust and give you the same vape....

It's either 6 of one or a half dozen of the other. 
If you change attys. on a regular basis, the wattage setting can save some tweaking as the mod will change the voltage setting to maintain the same wattage for each atty.

The short answer is yes. Your device will always give voltage to produce power (watts). The Volt vs Watt setting is a matter of you telling your device "Okay give me this amount of voltage" vs using the watt function and telling your device "I want this amount of power regardless of what atty, tank, clearo, etc I'm using so give me what ever amount of voltage that's necessary to end up with that amount of power"
I hope that makes a lick of sense.

whoops my bad. Free is correct on this. As the 'watt' setting on your device changes the amount of voltage on your device in order to accommodate a different ohm atty, the amp draw will change as well.

If you know exactly what ohms your heads are then voltage will work fine BUT realize many clearos/ cartos can be out ohms wise by as much as - or + 10- 20%. Wattage adjusts for these inaccuracies and always fires at the same power level regardless of the ohms. The only time you may want to change the voltage or wattage is with diff flavors- diff flavors really come out at a higher or lower voltage/ wattage.
I have 3 devices that are VV, and 2 of those are also VW.
VW is cruise control. Spin on whatever you want and it will do all the math and put you at the same level.
For normal use I can see the VW being suitable 95% of the time.
There were some discussions I skimmed that involved using the VV mode to overshoot the wattage limit on some devices by a small amount in certain situations. But I do not remember the discussion well enough to repeat said information clearly, or whether it was credible.
However I think I understand the theory. For example. If you device is 12W max.
And you hit a 1.8ohm coil at 5v you are actually getting 13.9W's. The devices are usually designed to limit before they hit a certain amp limit, but this is only 2.78 amps. And a lot of devices have a 3.5 amp limit. So maybe, it would be possible to squeeze a little extra out of it. In some situations. On some devices.

I am vaping a vamo v3 with protank 3 on it and i run 3.8-4.0volts depending on mood and juice. i have tried watts but i cant seen to get it where i like it with the 2ohm dual coils. with watts my v3 adjusts at 0.5 watts on volts its 0.1
