volts vs wattage

[upnorth]

So I've got my new innokin vtr. What's the difference vaping volts vs watts? Thanks for any replies.

If you change your atty to one with a different resistance, then if you are set to volts you will need to change the volts - lower volts for lower resistance. If you are set to watts you don't need to - the vtr will adjust the volts to suit the resistance.

Sorry for the confusion. Is there any difference in vaping volts to watts. I just don't understand why you would need the two.

In theory if you find a vaping sweet spot for an e juce in watts you can change your atty for one of a different resistance and the vap will be the same as the device wil adjust the voltage to archive the wattage set.

If you set your volts and change your atty for say a lower resistance your watt usage will be higher and you get a burnt taste.

In practice you will find that you will find a prefrance either volts or watts just play with the settings and you will find what works for you.

dakgm I didn't realise that the voltage changed automatically depending on what atty was in use, if/when you changed the watts

On my MVP2 you have to set the Volts and Watts yourself and they stay as to what you have set, therefore changing atty's will result in a different vape, needing V and/or W alteration


Please correct me if I'm wrong

What they're trying to say is that VV and VW are both achieved by changing the voltage over the coil - functionally they're the same.

With different atties, though, a given voltage may have a way different effect.

In VW mode the voltage that's applied is computed relative to the resistance across the coil so 7W on an iClear will give something much more similar to 7W on a Protank.

Thanks barrynorton - although I am stil lconfused

Not sure if the VTR is similar to the MVP2, but there is no mode change as such, you simply are able to change both the volts and watts so you have to calculate what is optimal for the ohms capability of the atty/coil

i.e. for a 2.2 ohm iclear30 I generally use 8 watts and 4.2 volts

using this chart as a guide staying in the green (albeit topend of the green) -> 25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9dkanCt0I1qc8949o2_1280.png

However, if I were to switch attys to a 1.8 ohm coil, to keep the same wattage Iwould need to manually alter the volts to somewhere around 3.8

If you're in wattage mode the voltage will change though depending what resistance coil you're using.

I think this is where I am confused because there is no mode as such to change to (at least on the MVP2) you are simply able to change the settings yourself but they remain the same as to what you have set when you change attys

i.e. my 4.2 v and 8 watts would still be displayed when i put an 1.8 ohm coil on it, which would be slight overkill for that coil

Please correct me if I'm wrong. This gives you the impression you are setting both, but that's not the case you only set the mode in use and the other mode is inactive so if you display watts that is what your setting and vise versa.


hope this helps

My understanding is it's either or, you can only set the volts or watts not both, you pick which one but it will remember what you set so if you set watts and vap and then change to setting volts, when you go back to setting watts it will have remembered your last setting

The difference is if your mod as a wattage mode you are setting the output power, so no matter what resistance coil used it will always output the same power so your mod changes it's voltage automatically to suit. In theory this should be much better but in practice for me there is no "magic" output power/watts level so in fact I change the power to suit what I am using anyway.

Hold on guys..... The answer I seek is there any difference. Does one give a warmer vape. The other more flavour. Excuse my ignorance I just can't seem to grasp why you would need two settings when one would do. (Input the word Muppet)

I agree with that I vap 1.8 ohms at 3.5-4 watts and 2.2 ohms at 5-5.5 watts using the same juice I think the coil wire thickness makes a difference

It makes no difference at all, you can achieve the same vape with either settings.

In short they are both ways of archiving the same result and that is what temperature you are running your coil at.

i think the reason mods have both is both marketing and keeping up with the competition, look at the evic you can connect it to your computer and download your vaping history.
