I think a good solution is to modify the atomizer in a way so that the coil/fiber that burns out killing the atomizer can be easily replaced. These parts could only cost cents to make and a small bag of them could last an e-smoker for months! This would also minimize waste, as the whole atomizer tube wouldn't have to be thrown away after the cartridge is empty. Here's my illustration from another thread. |

I think Jarvis is on the right track. Makes sense to me but then again I'm from Mississippi. LMAO!

Great idea but it would not work that way. After disecting atomizers, I saw that the fibers are passing the coil and end through holes in the ceramic tub (which encloses the coil) and are in contact with the outer metal mesh around the ceramic tub, means the metal mesh "guides" the liguid to the end of the coil fibers, the fibers carriy the liquid through the coil, in some models across the coil.

@jarvis: really well done, but I must agree with Jag... Even if it would work, the pieces are so tiny, not every user would be able to handle these small pieces I think... News: We have just finished a trow away atomizer inside the cartridge model, just like the LT. Ok to be honest: we purchased the LT and copied it, then we improved it. Needs a bit more testing but looks alright for now... it's just that we think it still is kind of unnecessary waste, so we are considering other options too.

smilin- loongtotem is a highly overpriced company that sells a product where the atomizer is built right into their cartridges and you just throw away their cartridges when they run dry and pop a new one in and wallah- you have brand new atomizer everytime ya change the cartridge. I said awhile ago that we should start seeing manufacturers movign to htis type of atomizer in cartridge design as it silves hte problem of atomizers always dropping dead, and it gives a much better vapor production as well- the only problem with loongtotem though is hte price of their rediculously high shipping and the high battery prices (As well as the fact that their batteries are a real crap-shoot- ya never know if you'll get one that functions or not, & if not, you're then stuck with the dead battery because it would cost way too much to send it back and have loongtotem send another one out & charge shiop[ping again), so this stopped a lot of people from trying them Ludo- what do ya mean waste? Throwing away the atomizers everytime? or do you mean waste of fluid in the cartridges? |

jarvis, i remember you said that before and i agree with you. if you ever get to see the atomizer from a disposable cigar, you can see that it could be done easily if the design allowed you to get at the atomizer without cutting up the casing. ludo, is this the new model janty have been teasing the other forum with? |

I mean trowing away the cart with the atomizer inside...it just doesn't seem right to us. We're looking into another option though... need some thinking here.. @dc2k08: well... many thinks being developed right now, we're discussing what to launch first..

I see what you mean about some people not being able to handle the tiny pieces Ludo perhaps there could be a special little tool involved, like putting batteries in hearing aids.
