Just curious, but why would you want to use them on a VV device? I know you like them, but using them on a VV device basically defeats the purpose of having VV becuase you would have to stay on the lower voltages. They are 1.5ohm. Using them on much higher than3.7V-4.0V is just going to burn the juice and make it taste like crap and also could pop the coil of the carto
thats why I'm asking this question, really. Because I don't have enough knowledge of everything but want to give VV a try. I know that a lot of people seem to like 3 ohm boges and the like for vv cartos, right? Essentially I'm wanting flexibility with the vaping but don't want to go in blind and get all kinds of wrong parts and what not. You kind of confirmed my thinking of the EMDCC on a VV device..so thats a start.
Well DC's are 1.5ohm total but they are really 2 non-hot standard resistance 3 ohm coils. So the coils can be used on higher voltage but many VV's protection circuits prevent the voltage from going higher due to the the extreme current draw of the combined 2 coils.
And my answer is I don't know. I believe Provari refuses to run 1.5 ohm DC's and Lavatube limits their output voltage (but I think a bit higher than 3.7) when faced with a 1.5ohm load.
I actually don't see the attraction of using your power up twice as fast to vape 2 standard resistance coils. Have you tried real LR single coil cartos like Boge 2 ohm and Resurrector 1.7 ohm? Those are already hot on 3.7.

Your going to run into several problems staying in with tube mods. There's a much larger and cheaper selection in the box types.
First, most of the tube mods on the market are going to have a max amp draw. A 1.6 ohm atty at 3.7 volts (2.3a) is already close to the cutoff for amperage in the provari and lavatube.
The other is the battery's the tubes use, your only going to be able to push one so far before you start losing power.
Im not going to throw a bunch of numbers at you because you probably dont care, and, I haven't done ohms law on paper in a long time and I dont want to be that guy
Basically, your going to have to go unregulated amperage to get any more out of low res dual coils, or your going to have to get a higher resistance dual coil.
I know the IPro and Buzz pro can handle it. There may be other options out there, I cant give you a huge list.
The buzz has a 15 watt cutoff. So if we consider that electronics are always perfect (and they are not) that means the max voltage you should be able to get out of a low res dc is about 4.898 volts on the buzz pro. Its probably lower because of battery's and electronics
Anyone out there feel free to let me know if my numbers or off or I didn't take a certain variable into consideration here.
EDIT: I just wanted to say also that all the advice from the mynameisrob and dormouse is right on. I rock a single coil 3 ohm carto on my buzz pro almost exclusively, and I use LR stuff on my KGo almost every day. Taking a dual coil over 4 volts in my opinion, is not a pleasant vape. I mean, there are people out there that refuse to buy LT's and Provari's strictly because of the amperage limit or step-down measures on them and to each their own but I don't care for burnt juice.

The 1.5 ohm EMDCC's have two 3 ohm coils and you can take them higher than 4.0V and not burn juices. I use 1.5 ohm DCC on my 5-volt box mod and no burnt taste or pop-ed coil.
Back to the OP: I don't know of any VV mods these will work on at above 4V. On a Provari I can only take them to 4-4.1 volts before it shuts down. If you want to take them higher than 4V look for a device that can handle more than 2.5 amps.
I haven't dormouse..what initially drew me to the emdcc was the capacity. Its not even a bad vape with a standard eGo battery....but I guess I've kind of caught the bug, heh.
Dan..I've been thinking about a box mod and just using it at home and keeping the standard ego battery for when I'm on the go(do landscaping work/concrete and a box would probably not make it long before I broke something) Got any recomendations for a quality box?

There are so many flavors of box mods out there.. some are more durable than others.
You want wood? aluminum? plastic? Artsy or not-so-artsy? Bottom feeder or not a bottom feeder?
You looking for fine tuning or maybe something that vapes different voltages with different batterys?

Thats a good starting point for browsing, most of them are NOT vv, but some are.
Also madvapes sells a dirt cheap vv box somewhere on the site for around 40 bucks. I wouldn't consider it very durable though.
