    I know they both use different volts/watts as the iPad needs more power etc
    My question is, can i use the iPad charger for the pad and phone without any issues? (both lightning connectors)

    Yes you can. The phone will only draw as much charge as it needs. The iPad will charge but more slowly.

    But if i use the iPad charger, the pad will charge properly, and the phone will pull just the amount it needs, yeah?

    I think i understand you :o

    Yes. The device will only "ask" for how much it can take. It's not the charger that is pushing a charge on to the device, if that makes sense.

    The same applies with Macbook chargers. The bigger Macbook pros have higher capacity chargers than mac book airs but they are all interchangeable.
