They both look the same, but...

Are they? These are the links...

NEW Varitube SS (chrome) - Full Kit | Variable Voltage | MODS | iVAPE

and

Variable Voltage 1.5 Mod Kit - Smoke Anywhere For Penny's, LLC Store

They look like basic Lava Tubes... I like the stainless steel, but the smokeanywhereforpennys version claims these new functions:

New Functions!
1.shows battery life remaining
2.Displays the atomizer resistance automatically when you attach your cartomizer or atomizer

Are these just new versions of the LT?

I don't have a lavatube but, they are going through some changes at the moment. The big limitation on the original was the 2.5A limit. They came out with a 3A version V1.5 fairly quickly. There's a new version that has been showing up at different vendors called the V3 that has a 4A limit. They've been selling out fairly quickly. Both of these are 1.5s I think. As long as you're aware that you won't be able to take a 1.5 ohm dual coil over 4.5V, they should be okay. I'd go for the lower price.
