What if you were to make a mod with dual 510 connections, side by side... then make an attachment that slips into both cartos like a driptip, to combine into 1 mouthpiece.

I know it would require a massive amount of power behind it (2x18650p?) but you could 'roll your own' dual coil cartomizer.. or imagine, using dual coils themselves! (I can't even think about what kind of power this would require... or a reworking of most mods parts due to not being able to handle it haha) Or instead of using both at the same time, you could add some sort of toggle as well... Left/Right/Both.. that way if you wanted you could have two different cartos and easily switch...

Just an idea I thought up and wondered if it has ever been tried. I certainly don't have the electrical know-how to do it.. although e-cigs have re-sparked my interest and I'm planning on building my first mod soon.

Since you brought it up, I would actually like a 1->2 atty connector and 2->1 mouthpiece. That way, I can double the vapor output without increasing the temperature. Haven't seen anything like that, but if someone ever makes something, I'll buy a couple.

My VV mod only has one connector and I really don't want to put two cartos in my mouth, feels weird. The problem with the dual coil cartos is hotter vapors and I don't want to heat up the vapors any more.

If you connect two atomizers with a 2:1 connection the draw will be so light you won't get what you want. This will be similar to smoking two cigarettes at once or vaping on two devices at once. What you want is a higher density of vapor. If you want an effect like this, double the amps to a fresh dual coil cartomizer. You'll get vapor that is so thick you'll almost choke. The down side is that it burns most juices and gets very hot. I've done it and it works for maybe 10-15 good toots.

Yes, the draw will be looser, but that's a good thing for me. I really like the Boge cartos because they draw so loosely. I've even drilled out the air holes on the connector to make them looser. Would be an improvement for me.

Increasing voltage increases current and thereby power. That results in more heat and more vapor production. I'm all for more vapor, but not more heat. I like a cooler vape, one of the few probably. With a double barrel, I could lower voltage somewhat and get an even cooler vape with higher vapor production. I believe density would still increase since each barrel is getting less flow. Lower flow increases density.

My perfect vape is loose, cool, and thick. I think a double barrel carto would accomplish that better than anything else.

Here is a double barrel silver bullet review on you tube. A 2 to 1 tip would be pretty easy to make. Someone posted about 6 months ago he was going to make one not sure if he ever worked it out or not.




Edit: almost forgot about this simple one i made for my passthrew last year.

Oh, okay, that's a handly little device. My first VV device was also a battery-less passthru hooked up to a DC power supply. I have a couple of them and I just plopped my extra cheapo on my desk for that. Accomplishes the same thing. I recently upgraded my DC power supply to this one. It's so nice having a fully digital power supply, but it was pricey. You can get them pretty cheap for just basic stuff, like this one.

I was monkeying around with some push fit connectors at work and one brand of the 3/8" stuff fit a carto nicely. I think it was the Norgren's that fit for some reason the Legris didn't.

You, sir, are my hero.

This is exactly what my vision entailed... although, I was more picturing the end with 2 to be wider (That way, if you wanted to, you could use each carto/atty seperately.. with them so close like this, you'd have a real hard time fitting your mouth around just one)

Well you are kinda describing the 801 (longer/wider) and the eGo Mega Atty (cylinder). The Mega at the usual Joye ohms vapes much different, with lotsa cooler vapor. The coil sits about 10mm further away than the standard 510. You might also try some of the grips off pens as mouthpieces on your cartos. I use them all the time. I've got short cut down ones, and long ones for when I want less heat. And a much larger target for topping off is nice too.

I could use something like that. I use a delrin drip tip and that helps. I haven't tried the dual coil cartos, but I tried the triple coils. I need a cooling system for those, they're way too hot for me. I imagine the dual coils would be hotter than a single coil so I'm not going to try them. Don't want any more heat, just more vapor.

Where would you find them? Do they fit inside the carto or over the carto?
