I think there are a couple models still being made, but why? They quit producing the SB double barrel largely because of the availability of dual coil cartos and VV PVs., especially the large capacity DC cartos, which are the same thing. Why put two 3ohm cartos on your PV when you can use a 1.5 or 2ohm dual coil at 5 or 6V?

The reason is because with my apollo vtube on 6volts with a 3.0 ohm dct I am not getting nearly the vape I do if i use 2 ego 3.7 batteries (vaping them both at once)with 2.6 clearomizers. I need a real strong throat hit,and the 2 separate ego vaped together give me what i am looking for.I appreciate your imput.

OK sailorman,tlooks like I will need to get mea 1.5 cart and try that. Thanks again

Don't do that!! The Vtube has a 2.5 amp limit and it'll cut your voltage to 3.7V, regardless of what you set it at.
You want to use a 2.5-3ohm single coil at high voltage. Most of the throat hit comes from nicotine, not voltage or watts. That produces heat, but nicotine content is where the TH is. If you use 2 egos at the same time, you're getting twice as much vapor and nicotine, so you'll get more throat hit. Use that 2.6 clearo at 5V with higher nicotine juice.

Or, get a V1.5 Lavatube with a higher current limit so you can use a 1.5ohm dual coil at 4.5 volts. It's still cheaper than most double barrel heads I've ever seen. I've seen V1.5 Lavatubes for about $50 for the tube only. Be aware of the Zombie on/off issue though.

Here's one with a 3amp limit that'll let you use 1.5ohm dual coils: http://www.smokeanywhereforpennys.com/variable-voltage-1-5-mod/

If throat hit is what your looking for I know that there's a few flavour vendors that sell cayenne pepper extract in PG for adding throat hit to low or no nicotine liquids. This does not create a throat hit identical to nicotine and it is a bit different but I like it just the same, keeps me from jacking up my nicotine levels too, lol. Vape On!

Does the cayenne pepper change the flavor?
