The Next Big Thing?

[hifistud]

One of the guys did it a year or so ago... a piezo vibrator. Works too well, in truth - goes through liquid like there's no tomorrow (I mean a seriously large amount) and was pretty much impossible to feed, and massively unpredictable in output, spitting great volumes of cold vapour out in chunks.

With a lot of electronics attached, I thin it could be tamed, but there's a long road ahead before it's usable. And, of course, would need some form of heat in there, too - a cold draw is awful...

I wonder is there another way to atomize the e liquid without using heat which is the major driving factor in battery size.

I wonder if anyone will develop a small enough piezoelectric smoke generator that could cold atomise the eliquid in an ecig. ...

Or whether this technology scaled down would still be too big/power hunger. ???

Yes, a cold vape is a problem, heat means Watts and Watts mean big power source

So Robby, is there a prize for the best idea or are you just trying to scam us into giving up patentable ideas?

I am on Dragon`s Den next series, nothin to sell yet though

If it's e-cigs in the Den, that numpty Banatyne will give you a mega hard time - he's so anti it's past funny. Had a few run-ins with him, and he's a complete ideologue anti.

hahaha, yes I have seen that about him lol

Yeah but the thing to remember with those people is they live for cold hard cash.

Even if they object to the idea's principles and morals they will take it on under an umbrella company if it's going to make them millions.

this thing looks nice www.maplin.co.uk/smoke-spray-in-a-can-20746
would this not produce good vapour? www.maplin.co.uk/gt-800-fog-machine-224476
High output 3500 cubic feet per minute smoke
600ml smoke fluid tank
Built-in carry handle

[vapee]

heres a portable one lol


and their top of the range one www.concept-smoke.co.uk/spirit_900.aspx

"The pump draws Smoke Fluid A (persistent) or Smoke Fluid B (quickly dispersing) from its integral 2 litre reservoir (or an external reservoir if specified), forcing it into Concept's unique precision machined heat exchanger, where it is vaporised. The Fluid consumption is extremely low - just 50ml per minute on maximum output - meaning exceptional running costs! "

wow 50ml a minute, that could cost quite a bit with some top quality ejuice

[raid2506]

That Maplin one looks like the one in the earlier vid.

Am not sure that using half a litre of juice in 5 minutes is the way forward though?

lol

[vapee]

tru haha, Definitely a bad idea putting any actual ejuice into it, maybe with 0 nic, someone must hav tried it out, would give a crazy th lol, mad dehydration too

[Ratfinkz]

I honestly think e cig makers are going to need to branch out soon to find new ideas, eg an e cig that's also an mp3 player.

I'd love to see a mod with a wireless charging battery. On a small pillow, nokia style.

I think what you will find within the next 2-3 years is the big tobacco companies strangling the sale of tobacco for juice.

Probably combined with the release of their own 'low smoke' cigarettes onto the market (will be some ad hype about removing badness and adding vitamins).

I also think that next year when the govt fails to regulate e-cig use they will put juice in the same class as rolling tobacco and add duty to it £15 for 5ml anyone?
