What Exactly does Variable Voltage Mode Mean? What are the ohms at each setting?

variable voltage lets you adjust to taste, for instance if you have 2 ohm cartos it's best to run them between 4 and 4.4 volts, if the resistance of your delivery system (carto, atomizer, clearo) is lower then use a lower voltage, if the resistance is higher then adjust the voltage up. if it tastes burnt then you went too far
I guess what I really need to know is the voltage of both settings, I imagine the lower setting is standard eGo 3.2v, but what is the higher setting? Sorry about the ohms mistake, I haven't had enough dandelion coffee this morning and got my ohms and volts switched in my head.....
the 4.8 volt setting should be good if you have anything 2.4 ohms and up (twist only) on the ego vv's i believe they go up to 6 volts which you would almost never need unless you have standard resistance (3.0 ohm) cartos
You have Joyetech's eGo-c "Upgrade" usb passthroughs. And while they say there's a vv mode, it isn't true vv like the eGo-c Twist where you can dial in a particular voltage.
There are two modes on the eGo-c upgrade batts. One is the same as a regular eGo-c batt where the voltage is regulated to a constant 3.3-3.4 volts throughout the whole charge of the batt. They call the other mode 'vv' but what they mean is that the voltage varies in the manner that a non-regulated battery works. Off the charger you have around 4.2volts, and then it goes into the normal voltage curve of any 3.7v rated battery - for most of the charge you're vaping around 3.6-3.7volts and toward the end of the charge the voltage begins to drop to 3.2v at which point you need to recharge the battery.
The result is that the "vv mode" runs a bit hotter (around 1+ Watt hotter) and may be better for stronger flavors. I have one flavor where I use the vv mode - a tobacco type flavor, but for the rest of my flavors I have the batts in "constant mode". The reason I buy the upgrade eGo-c's is that they are the same cost as the regular eGo-c batts where I buy them, so it's nice to have that option.

Thank you so much for explaining this in such a simple and straightforward manner, I have the upgrades and the new eVods, they came with Kanger batteries which run 3.7 and the eVods do so much better at that voltage, I have since turned up my eGo vv's and have been getting a much better vape on the eVod and ProTank. This is the info I needed!
Glad I could help nmb4me
I use the regular Kanger T-3/Tabac BCC's and I have some flavors that in the vv mode get burnt or just don't taste as well than in the constant mode - but I like the choice, esp. when the price is the same.
