In fact, shielding would seem safe and shouldn't be prohibitively expensive.

Good luck with further progress and glad to hear field testing is about to begin.

Thanks TB.....
Already thought of that EMF worries ....needs to make sure it does not interfere with any electrical equipments(especially pacemakers)...shielding has been improvised..the casing has been improved...it doesn't look cheap anymore and it's for heavy duty usage too..hope that works till all my 20 units come back for a review( a weekly schedule has been planned )...yes, it's a full field test alright for a lot of reasons...and also to improve further based on varied users inputs....now, I will have to sit back and wait....and hopes for the best...

I like the idea of the DC input and universal USB input, very, very handy idea indeed! Will the internal batteries be easily replaceable should they come to the end of their useful life? Also have you tweaked it so no more burnies when handling the atomiser?

With that DC input that automatically makes smoking in the car an easy option, perhaps a way to extend battery life for long times away is to have another battery attached to that input or perhaps even a solar panel!

This device sounds like its going to change ecigs and even save a load more people from the harm of tobacco and I sooooo want one!!!!!

Sorry if the above offended anyone - I have a wonderful knack of saying the wrong thing at times...........

But I do have the feeling that there are some on this site who could be a lot more helpful with the technical side of things, but they seem to be sitting back and letting the rest of us stumble along in the dark at the moment, self interest maybe?

There have been some wonderful ldeas on here, most of them by non-technical people, but some of those ideas are very valid.

What I'd like to see is an 'open project' type of discussion on e-cigs, batteries & atomisers in particular.

This would mean that anything discussed would be considered to be in the public domain and not the intellectual property of any one person (or even the group, as a whole)

Not sure if this could be achieved on a forum such as this, but if there's any interest we could give it a go - we'll need a new E-Cig open Project section and it would need to be fairly disciplined - and posts would have to be kept strictly 'on topic' (unlike this one I'm afraid, sorry about that jimldk....) a Yahoo group may be a better bet for this.

If anyone thinks that this idea has any merits it may be better discussed in a new thread, I think I've hi-jacked this one enough.......
Thanks
Barry

I bet Janty are kicking themselves trying to figure out how it works and why they never came up with it!!

Sorry for not able to update recently..have been very busy lately..so just to show new design and looks....

Pre-production Test models....almost the same size with a normal business name card/credit card but albeit much thicker....USB type...

With 2 colors option(so far)...cheaper..the colorful ones will cost more so I'll stick to black and white at the moment...

That's all for the moment till later on, I'll brief you all....

that looks cool jim, reminds me of an audio cassette if anyone still remembers them

**Bertrand** · 11-17-2008, 07:27 AM

I really have no idea what this is or what it does. All I know is that I will probably end up buying one.

Not Bad bro...you got that right.....actually "borrowed" the casing design from those old cassette tapes and re-mould it..but quality is better..hopefully more durable too...I have marked them and put in a serial code..so far 20 units have rolled out...Full field test is on..and time to gather data...and to find it's weakness...

and it's strong points...
