People are guaranteed to argue about that one forever. Me, I prefer volts. I essentially started with a Provari, and I just know what voltage is going to do to a atty with x amount of ohms. Just became second nature for me
To be honest I can't tell much of a differnce between the two. I vape with an iTaste MVP 2.0 shine edition and iClear 30 b
My vape is watts because it self adjusts, especially when carbon builds up on the coils changing up the resistance.

As brickfollet said, 'People are guaranteed to argue about that one forever'.
Having said that, here are a few facts. Vape is all about the watts. But it's not that simple. Nothing ever is, is it
So let me re-phrase it. Vape is more accurately defined by watts than volts. Watts is power, or in vape terms the amount of heat the coil will put out per second. Here's an online Ohm's law calculator. All the following numbers come from there. Fill in 2 known variables and the other 2 unknown are calculated when you click on calculate.
With a 2 ohm coil at 3.7 volts you get 6.845 watts.
With a 3 ohm coil at 4.53 volts you get 6.845 watts.
Both these vape setups will give you about the same vape experience because the watts are the same.
With a 2 ohm coil at 3.7 volts you get 6.845 watts.
With a 3 ohm coil at 3.7 volts you get 4.56 watts.
So, the same voltage with different coil resistance gives you different watts (power). The 2 ohm coil will make more flavor and vapor than the 3 ohm coil because the power (watts) is higher with the lower resistance coil.
Set 7.0 watts with a 2 ohm coil or 7.0 watts with a 3 ohm coil and the watts are the same for both scenarios. What the e-cig does is change the voltage to make the 7 watts happen. The vape remains about the same with both setups.
In the end it doesn't matter what you set, volts or watts, what matters is the watts you're vaping.
On vv/vw devices, setting the wattage will allow you to vary the resistance of the coils and still vape on the same amount of power by varying the voltage.
When you set the voltage, if your coil resistance changes your wattage (power) will also change.
When you set the voltage, if your coil resistance changes your wattage (power) will also change.
Think its all in your head about the flavor.
Its still heating the coil the same, just one goes by out put (watts) and the other goes by input (volts).
If you put in 12 Watts the device will do the math and adjust your volts to give you that 12watt output. If you do the math yourself and set the mod to that volt it will be the same vape.
On my VV/VW mod i stay in volts.

Personally, I like to vape on 1.21 gigawatts........it's hit or miss tho, cuz I never know when lightning is gonna strike.

LOL, yup and fitting 4,700 car batteries into your PV is not trivial
lol You are probably right about the whole flavor thing but I'm new the world of vaping and I'm trying to understand what part watts, ohms, resistance, volds,mahs, and so on and so forth play in the whole vaping experience. I essentially really don't know much at all. Ii know the basics like how to change your atomizer, fill your tank, clean it, and stuff like that so if anyone here would like to tutor me on this stuff it would be greatly appreciated

On my vamo, I usually have it set on watts; the voltage setting has a finer adjustment, so if I want to use volts instead, I hold down the + button to see what the ohms is first, estimate the volts, then swith to voltage mode.
Sometime I just want to set volts to the nominal 3.7 volts;
From what I understand, the vamo and many other apv's actually use a 6 volt output, but pulse it to 6; I just need to figure out whether to bottom side of that is 0, 3, or maybe its 3.7 or whatever the battery voltage is.. not sure; but anyway, I'd be curious to build a coil at just the right ohms to work with flat voltage output from the vamo; I should be able to get a flat 6 volts

Diagram of your tri-coil...we will lovingly refer to it as the "flux capacitor"
I understand where you are coming from, but technically, build up on the coil does not change the electrical resistance of the coil. The battery doesn't see a difference. However, your eJuice does. As gunk builds up, it insulates the coil from your eJuice, requiring more power to deliver the same vape.

Oh, you must be using the Gi2 with one of those new nuclear fission batteries! With a .01 ohm coil I bet your going through 2 ml's per drag on that baby!
Haha one day...

Awww thanks that me feel better. I don't feel like such dork lol! Some folks have pretty rude on here and I'm assuming it's bc I'm new and I have no idea what 98% of all these acronyms on here mean and it drives me nuts!
I stay in volts as well on my vamo (in RMS mode) because it seems I can go higher than 15 watts (maybe a glitch) but there is a deffinate difference between vaping at 6.0 volts as opposed to 15 watts (with 2x18350 batteries)
I have found no difference at all when looking at just those two issues. I have found differences between devices though, and out of my two favorite vapes (smoothness, mainly), one is VV (very well known) and the other is VW (pretty much unknown).
I have others of both variations that don't compare.
