HELP! Mods, batteries, Variable Wattage, Variable Voltage

[spydre]

Okay, so I'm going to be in the market shortly for a new set up to replace the stick eGo batteries that came with my starter kit. I have some questions.

My goal is to get away from the stick batteries altogether, get something with rechargeable batteries, and possibly variable.

I know either variable voltage or variable wattage is desirable. I also know that it can be set if you adjust one, the other automatically adjusts. First off, what are the benefits of both variable voltage and variable wattage? What benefits are there to each, and why would someone choose one over the other? I'm asking about being able to set on or another simply because I don't want to get too complicated. I want to set it to where I like it, and vape. I'm assuming, from what I've been able to find so far (sorry, my google-fu on this subject is weak) that I may want different wattages or different voltages for different juices?

This is one that I was looking at: http://www.myvaporstore.com/SMOKTech_SID_Ecig_Mod_Variable_Volt_Watt_s/122.htm

I also saw in the Marketplace the ZMax, which runs a bit more expensive....but does it have the option of adjusting one, and the other automatically adjusting?

Anyway, thanks in advance. I'm just trying to figure out which I would be better off getting.

First, I thought I would be Ok with standard 3.7V and 2.4 ohm. However, some juices taste way better if over powered a little, while others taste better if under powered. Coils resistance also effect vape experience. Some juices are better with standard and higer, while others are better with lower resistance. Cooler vape or warmer vape. VV/VW let you pick what you want.

Variable voltage: you set the voltage to power your coil base on the coils resistance. There is a chart explain the relationship between resistance, voltage and wattage. Higher voltage, more power to the coils

Variable wattage: you set the wattage, your battery will figure out the voltage needed. More wattage, more power to the coils.

The two are basically the same. Depending on what makes sense more to you. I'm more familiar with voltage setting because my first big battery was VV (upgraded from cig size 180mAh battery).

Some APV such as the SID, Zmax, Provari,.... are usually both VV and VW. You pick the setting you want.

Another advantage is probably the batteries. Longer life. You can have multiple charged batteries with you and never run out of power. You can have one in the device and a few charging. You can replace the battery in stead of the whole thing (if the control unit out last the battery life cycle).

By the way, I just ordered the SID (plus batteries and charger) from MVS. I should get it tomorrow.

Edit: between the eVic and the Zmax, I would probably take the eVic (ring control, USB rechargeable, and PT?). eVic is just VV, I think. The control should be simplier. I will aslo suggest that you look at the device that can be used with your existing/future favorite delivery systems.

the eVic is VV/VW. And spyder if your looking into VV/VW you should go on youtube and watch some of GrimmGreen's videos to new users. He does an excellent job explaining some of the differences and abilities of some of the VV/VW devices out there that are new and are fairly cheap.

I've been watching pbusari's reviews, and searching forums for information as well. Almost everything I looked at essentially told me that, aside from the scrolling word "resistance" on the Sigeli, that it's superior to the Smoketech, and much sturdier - like the difference between the screen withstanding being knocked over from standing up on your desk and knocked to it's side or being dropped from several feet. But I will look up GrimmGreen.
