What is the performance differences between the two. I have a spinner 2 with vv but if you have an apv with both what exactly occurs. Which do you adjust?
VV vs VW

VW is just VV with the math done for you. VW checks the resistance of your coil and automatically adjusts voltage to give you your desired wattage.
This ^^^. Watts give you a more consistent vape and you can change coil resistance and the power (watts) remains the same. You set either watts or volts.
There is no performance difference, it's just convenience and consistency. When you set volts you need to do a simple calculation with the ohms to know what voltage to set. If that's all you use you get good at it after a little while.
Go to an Ohms law calculator (you can download an app or go to a website) and start plugging in numbers and see what happens.
Truth be told with APVs (especially when using a rba) VW is practically meaningless.
The performance differences from one RBA to another coupled with the different power range "sweet spots" that are all over the place depending on your build defeat the advantages of VW.
The chief advantage of VW made sense for cartos and clearos. With cartos and clearos you are dealing with a relatively limited range of resistance (ohms) that don't have a horribly different ability to draw in air, so the idea was (hypothetically) take your MVP and set it to 100 and then you could use your 2.4ohm carto or 1.8ohm clearo and the performance was pretty comparable.
The idea was set it and forget it.
Not going to work with the advanced modern stuff.
Let's say I have a typical cloud chaser RBA with TONS of airflow with a .4ohm coil in it.
This build should easily run 40w no problem. Depending on the build and particular Rba it may actually even be a little cold at 40w.
Now on the other hand let's say I have a Kayfun with a 1.4 ohm coil. At 40w you will get nothing but burned wick.
So the "set it and forget it" won't work here.
However, if we have a VV APV set to 4v, no problem with the example I gave. The rba would still fire at 40w and the Kayfun would be at a much more reasonable 11w.
So I would actually argue for advanced users VV alone would actually be more beneficial.
However EVOLV (creators of the dna chip set found in a lot of the popular APVs) created a new bench mark when they introduced VW and most other companies have followed suit

I don't know, if I am using a regulated device with my dripper and change to a tank I drop the watts, no big deal as changing the device means making a change anyway and I know what the power settings are for the devices I use. You have to remember that on a 1ohm coil 0.1 V change is always going to be a greater than 0.5W difference so power gives you more control of your vape too.
