Wattage and voltage what is the difference

[rushsheez]

Wattage and voltage setting on a PV,what is the actual difference that you get?

 

[Boognish]

Adjusting voltage determines wattage. Adjusting wattage determines voltage. Wait, now I'm confused

 

[pleaselah]

Giving this a try.

P= power
V= voltage
I= current
R= resistance

So, when setting to voltage, its V = I x R

When setting to power, it's P= V x I

So that explains why the power setting has a wider range than voltage, which is usually 3 - 6 for voltage and 3 - 15 for wattage, but both basically have the same function which is to control the current around the circuit.

Pardon me if I got anything wrong, just remembering what I can.

It measure your atomizer resistance and autoadjust the voltage to the wattage u set.
Useful for pple who always change cartomizer. (But I feel useless)

Voltage, got nothing much. U set the voltage and start to vape.


Voltage adjustment is good enough.
Why I say that because I got both wattage and voltage adjustment pv.
My experience using Zmax.

W=V2/R

my noob understanding, its just a matter how you want to play about it

 

[LaVsy]

all this ohm law is more technical, unless you want to go indepth

Watt is defined as the amount of energy that is converted to another form measured in 1 joule per second.

In vaping terms it means how much potential energy(battery - volts) is converted to electrical energy(current - ampere) then to heat energy(atty - resistance) and finally back to potential energy.

Always remember Newton's 1st Law - Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It merely changes form.

Trust me, I'm an engineer.

With the above technical explanations, actual application on the PVs:

Variable Voltage - allows you to use coils of various resistance and you adjust the voltage to give you the G-Spot you like to vape at.

Variable Wattage - similar to V.Voltage but additionally allows you to change tanks/atty and still get the G-Spot you like without adjusting.

Both of these work really well with rebuildables as you don't always get the same resistance every time you recoil.

One good explanation I've ever came across is to imagine variable wattage as a car's cruise control. After you set it, the speed will maintain no matter the road is straight or sloping.

Variable voltage is like driving with cruise control off, you'll have to pedal harder or softer depending on the road conditions to maintain the same speed.

Ultimately, both lead to the same end.
