Yea,we're a bunch of pups learning from the ol' dogs.
Just received my BSB and my DBSB.
First thing I did was to take 2 18350 3.7v batteries and put them in. I the put on 2 HV 5.2 Ohm 510 attys and I fired this puppy up!
Wow, using my new vikingvapor fruit punch double strength liquid this unit is awesome!
I really smooth vape, nice flavor and decent vapor. I am going to mix tome VG in and see what happens.
Overall I am happy with the DBSB, more so at the high voltage then at 3.7.
vape on!

It was easy. The 2nd battery only sticks less then halfway out and the spring on the bottom can accommodate it with no problem.
very interesting.
Previous to reading that statement I was under the impression the silver bullet was only able to accommodate two battery options. Either one 18650 or two CR123A's.
Im assuming you are using these batterys?
Due to controversy, I will not be commenting on the non-protected status of these battery's. That's an individual choice.
But, those two battery's stacked would theoretically create 7.4 volts, which would explain your use of HV attys. That much voltage would fry normal 510's like a madman. (I realize its much less under load)
After using them for a few days could you give us a general overview of your experience with the battery? For instance you are lowering the actual voltage by using HV attys, but why not use protected battery's (cr123a) and normal 510's? I don't see the real advantage of using these over CR123A's, but I'm sure you have reasons.
Thanks for posting.
EDIT:
These battery's will totally fit.
Height comparison:
1X 18650 - 66.5mm
2X CR123a - 69mm
2X 18350 - 71mm

I wonder how much harder these would hit.

Just my opinion... if he was able to use them and did... with HV atties... I think the only advantage (from what my eyes can see ) is the theorectical higher mah.. supposedly 300 more..... so longer vape @ HV since the cr123s are @ 900mah "claimed"
I am not saying if its a good idea or not (honestly not putting too much thought to it) I am only guessing on his reasoning
also if he has HV atties... then it would look like a good idea for the "7.4" voltage since HV atties sort of cancel out the experience of 6v due to the high resistance.
it would be nice to get an after use assessment though
Check out the thread in the altsmoke forum called "6v is not the answer HIGH DRAIN CELLS is the answer!!"
You do make a point.
Although I only take mah ratings with a grain of salt. Company's add big mah ratings to the little stickers they put on the side of battery's to make us think they are better than competitors.
Realistically, mah ratings are variable estimates that change with the life cycle of a rechargeable battery. Also getting only 300 (indicated) more mah doesn't seem like much incentive to use non-protected battery's.
I agree... but people see things as advantageous differently. you do make a good point as well

In all honesty, the reason that I used the 18350 was because my light blue cr123's would not work on the DBSB. I have another double barrel mod similar to the SB which is also 2 510's and my 123's would not work in them either. I also used 123's in my juice box and the batts are very temperamental.
I have ordered some of the AW 123 batts and when they come in will try them. I am also going to order some different 123's perhaps the grey and yellow ones and see if they will work.
I will also let you know after a few more days of vaping with the 18350's my opinion

Thanks so much for responding!
I have the "yellow and gray" CR123'a and they have been flawless in performance and function since the day I started using them. Actually I think they are the best battery in vaping right now, bar none. So I guess our experiences have been very different.
There is another thread about someone having problems with varieties of the 123's. Maybe there are some that work and some that don't.
I will be looking forward to your report on the 18350 experience!

You are welcome.
I was looking at the yellow and Grey ones but they had some bad write-ups on them on Amazon. I just ordered some protected ones from madvapes but their office is closed from 3/4 -3/8 so they will not ship out until 3/8, oh well.
In the mean while at least I have my 18350's!

Just to clarify, were the light blue 123a's working on a single barrel bullet and not a DBSB? Or are you saying they not work well with either top?
Yes, I know this post. However, I was just wanting to hear results of someone vaping at 7.4V with two of these high discharge LiMn batteries in a DBSB. That would be some intense vapor.
Ok, here is what happened with the light blue 3.0v 123 batteries. I put the single atty top on my SB with a conventional atomizer and it worked fine, I then switched it for the HV 5.2 Ohm atty and that worked fine.
I then put the double barrel top on my SB (DBSB) with the 2 Hv attys and they both fired up, I then switched the attys to some conventional 510s and I got nothing!
So now I swapped out the bats I was using and am now vaping at 6v with the 123's. Will report tomorrow morning how it was for the rest of the evening.

Although this might be out of my league. Initially I figured the DBSD was triggering the protection circuit, but according to batteryjunction those light blue 123a's are not protected.
Well, vaped the rest of the night with the light blue 3.0v 123's using the same 5.2 Ohm HV atty and to be honest I think that I like doing it better with the 2 3.7 bats. The 3.7 gave it a bit more of a kick without being harsh.
I have some new AW bats that people have started talking about on order so I look forward to trying those when I get them.
