Convo With the Founders of Double Scorpio

A Convo With the Founders of Double Scorpio, a ‘Farm to Disco’ Bespoke Poppers Company
Written by Stephan Horbelt on February 23, 2018

What would you do if your boyfriend was a chemist? It’s a question not many of us have ever thought to ponder, but at least one person, Julian Eternal, has an answer. He and his boyfriend at the time, Brian, founded the company Double Scorpio in Austin, Texas, through which they offer an entire line of bespoke poppers VHS cleaner.

Double Scorpio created its web store in June of 2017, though the research and development process began months before that. (“I guess that makes Double Scorpio a Gemini,” Julian says.) Currently the Double Scorpio site offers no fewer than five different formulas of the queer community’s favorite inhalant.

Julian handles the marketing, manages the Double Scorpio web store, packs the orders and oversees customer relations. “You could say Brian is the brains, and I’m the blouse,” he says.

Brian makes the product. “I’m in the lab synthesizing the product while also shaving years off my life dealing with Julian,” he jokes. The two guys are equal partners in the operation.

How exactly does one get into the poppers business and — if many Double Scorpio repeat customers are to be believed — create a product that blows that stuff you find at your local head shop out of the water? We sat down with Double Scorpio founders Julian and Brian to find out.

I have tried the Gold. It was ok. On the same level as the other ones they have. I bought all of my Double Scorpio at a shop in AC nj. They were actually $20 plus tax there! Like i said before though, i think some of them weren't that fresh. So maybe the Gold does have something special?  Would like to give them another chance by ordering direct. Maybe they would be stronger? I remember reading a Reddit thread where someone from double Scorpio replied explaining they were improving their storage facilities to maintain better freshness.

to andballer : I tried some and they were ok. I think the one they make for valentines day was my favorate. However there so dam expensive. They have a few that I havent tried. The one i want to really try double scorpio gold is so expensive.  35 dollars plus shiping and tax i'm looking at 40 dollars. Would it be worth it? Have you tried that one?

I have had five different bottles from them over the last summer. They are good! Two of the five didn't seem as fresh aa the others though. Not as strong. I do wish they were a bit stronger overall though. And I am not alone with that assesement. Love what they are doing though!
