So I made the jump to a box mod, the itaste MVP v2 from the ego-c wanted to have that extra control over voltage and wattage, question to all those mod experts, I'm not much of an electrical engineer, is variable voltage and variable wattage the same setting on these mods? Meaning if I set my voltage at 3.6 and my wattage at 7.0 does it vape with those settings together or is it vaping at 3.6 V or 7.0 W?
VV And VW

one or the other,
in VV voltage will stay steady no matter how the resistance or wattage changes
in VW wattage will adjust the voltage automatically to stay the same power
in VV voltage will stay steady no matter how the resistance or wattage changes
in VW wattage will adjust the voltage automatically to stay the same power
It's an either/or setting. Power=I^2 R, V=IR. P=IV=I(IR)=I²R. You select power "mode" to keep power constant regardless of resistance(useful if changing resistance values and you want to maintain the same "strength"), it does this by modifying voltage on the fly or you select a voltage, and this will modify your current(ohms law, v=ir) based on resistance but your power will not be the same across different resistance values.
Electric 101
Amps = Current
Voltage = "Electrical pressure"
Watts = Power
Ohms = Electrical resistance.
What is important in vaping is wattage. Watts are a measure of power. And power in vaping is manifested as heat. The more the watts the more your coil will heat up.
So in variable wattage mode, you setup your watts to your liking meaning that you setup the amount of heat that will be generated by your atomizer. And regardless of the resistance of your atomizer, the heat or power that will go through your coil will remain the same.
Pretty simple.
Voltage is a bit more complicated but will still give you what you want but you will have to take the resistance of your atomizer into consideration. Basically, the lower the resistance of your atomizer, the less voltage you will need to obtain the same power (or heat, or wattage). Conversely, the higher the resistance of your atomizer, the more voltage you will need to obtain the same wattage.
In a nut shell:
Variable wattage: Set it and forget it, you don't have to care about your atomizer resistance
Variable voltage: Adjust the voltage for the resistance of your atomizer. New resistance, new voltage.
