Well that's the technical version. I'm currently using 8.5v and 4.5w, any thought on this.
Yep, reversed. On your rig, you can only use one or the other, not both. I'm a watts man myself.
Volts versus watts. Watts the difference.

Once it tastes nice and produces a decent amount of vapour what's the advantage to turn it up more? Just a question, as I did it the other way round, started low and turned it up until I liked it.
I noticed high PG juice needs a bit more power, otherwise I have not enough vapour. But other than that?

You can do one, not both. If you are using watts, voltage is automatically calculated. If you are using volts and are at 3 volts and getting harsh hits, I think you might have an issue with your atty not wicking eliquid properly. Take 4 or 5 primer hits (no power) and then apply power and vape. If you are using a Kanger Protank, you might have a bum coil.
At the end of the day, they are different ways to achieve the same thing.
Turn up either one, the other goes up.
Turn down either one, the other goes down.
Resistance, however, is different. The lower you go, the more watts you get from the same voltage.

Just a quick side question, I've now got my watts down to 4w, drawing slower to get the hit and it's not bad, just need to get a flavour sorted. Should the battery last longer at low level? I have been going through them quite quick but I've put that down to bad batteries so far.
David. I am worried about what is going on for you here.
I am sat in my kitchen with 3 devices turned down to 4 watts and there is not much vapour. It's like a £3.99 disposable from Sainsburys.
*There is almost no flavour at all.*
Even with a £100 atomizer on the top, it's only just better than acceptable. Are you sure you are down on 4 watts?
It would be like making a cup of coffee with only 1/2 teaspoon of granules.
What is your tank/clearomiser?

It comes back to the equation
Wattage=voltage*voltage/resistance
Ex: on 2.0ohm resistance with 8w outage
Vw: 8w=√(8*2)=4v
Vv: 4v=4*4/2=8w
So its basically the same, the vw is the automatic version of the vv because the vw automatically calculate the voltage needed to achieved the wattaged

They both do EXACTLY the Same thing.
Supply more or less current to the heating coil in the atomizer making the coil in the atomizer heat faster or slower and hotter or cooler.
Raise or lower the voltage and the watts go up or down
Raise or lower the wattage and the volts go up or down.
If atomizer W plus Juice X taste good at Y wattage and or Z voltage that does not mean atomizer A plus juice B will taste the best at those same setting. Whether they are watts or volts.

This exactly what I'm using.

You don't have to know didley about watts or volts in order to use your SVD or any other VW/VV device effectively.
Set the SVD in VW mode. Start at a low setting and press the + button until the vape doesn't taste good to you and then use the "-" button to reduce the power until the you think the vape tastes best. After that the SVD's chip will do the oHms math for you automatically to maintain the same warmth of vape if you change to a juice delivery device with a different oHm manufactured coil.
If you change to VV mode the SVD won't do the oHms math so if you change to a juice delivery device with different oHms there will be a change in the warmth of the vape.
Some flavors tend to taste better at lower power while others taste best at higher power.
If you want to get a feel for how the relationship between watts/volts/amps/oHms work you can plug in the oHms of your coil and either the watts or volts into an oHms law calculator.
Things get more complicated if and when you start to rebuild RBAs and RDAs instead of manufactured coils as there are other factors that can come into play that will have an impact on the warmth of the vape.

This I can agree with.
What I dont like are the folks who claim VW is a set it and forget it thing.
I adjusted watts just as much as volts, as did everyone else I know...
After that, I am wary of those who preach about VW being so great.

+1 then again +2.
When V W is in increments of .5 watts and V V is in increments of .1 volts. I'll stick to the V V setting.
In all honesty if you are running normal coil ohmage, 1.3+/- to 2.2+/-, for a good vape, IMHO, you are always in the 3-4.5 volt range and the 7.5+/- to 10 watt range. For me, and I suspect many normal vapers, anything much above that doesn't feel good.
Like a Rip Tripper video where he had a regulated Mod that would do 100 watts. He was vaping a .3 ohm coil at 45 watts. If you do the math he was running at 3.6+ volts. When he upped the wattage to somewhere around 65-75 watts and took a hit he started coughing. Burned his throat out.
7 watts on a 1.5 ohm coil gives you 3.2+ volts. Up that to 7.5 watts and you get 3.35+ volts.
Yes some of the newer devices are coming with wattage adjustment of .1 watt. That does give you more control.
Control, yes. Watts provide a much finer control.
Were VW pushed as such, it wouldve been great. Unfortunately, it wasnt.
No biggie really, and a sidetrack to the thread, so I digress

Looks like this could be debated for along time but I learned a good amount here. Some good starting numbers, that only one setting works at a time, watts give a good tune up but fine tuning maybe better achieved with volts on my svd. Thanks very much everyone.
Now to find the juice for me, although I like menthol cigs I've not had much luck finding a similar tasting juice so I'm going to try some fruits, hoping to find a creamy smooth tasting one but it's all personal preference on that one. I like to see my smoke so that's another think I need to study up on.
Cheers everyone.

So with the svd doing the ohm math for you, can you go to high on watts setting and burn your coil? I know in my aspire et-s I keep it around 8 watts like most but my iclear 30 seems to do better in the 9+ range but after 10 I get crackling
