Q: What is in the fluid?
A: A water based non-toxic liquid that is similar to the fluid used in special effects fog machines. The Fluid consists of Distilled Water, Glycerin (a USP kosher food additive) and Propylene Glycol (a USP kosher food additive). For more information view the Material Safety Data: sheet 1, sheet 2, sheet 3.

so the wizard stick works on same principle like e cig atomiser it's only bigger

"UPDATE Well - BUT the atomizer in this thing gets WAY to hot. The juice tastes like crap and it actually spits it out the top somtimes - Un Vaporized"

so this is only technical problem i think

Really?
Then put in fewer batteries, and disconnect the fan.

Any more "only technical problems"?

I would say it still makes a greater difference if you drink water with just a little propylene glycol, or you drink propylene glycol, with just a little water. Do not you think so?

The modded device is still working fine. I kept it switched on two times for hours, and the lamp died in each case, but no other harm occured; no melting or burning. So, I just replaced the lamp in some seconds, and it worked again.

No such failure occured, yet, in intermittent operation.

Hi aaa,
Saw this post, and I think its a great idea... How did you make the modded USB power supply.. I'd like to give this a go.... Atomizers only last about 2 weeks for me; and its getting expensive...

aaa - just wondered by you went with a 10W bulb rather than a 4W or 5W bulb, which would be enough, or would it ? Seems you are heating juice on the wire bundle, perhaps that's why need extra power. Why not heat juice on the glass of the bulb? Or would this cause the glass to break (I can see it might).

Glad you tested this out and shown that it can work, just needs some more work. Well done and thanks for sharing.

It is supplied from the USB port directly, so there is no separate power supply.

This mod uses the housing of the pen-type e-cigs, which are small, and thus cannot accommodate a good heat insulation or heat reflecting lens. A lot of heat is wasted this way, therefore I do not know if an 5W halogen lamp could provide enough heat in this setup. I have not tried it yet.

I am totally convinced, however, that if the e-liquid could be reliably conveyed very close to the lamp bulb, and heat waste could be reduced by insulation, then a 5W, or an even lower wattage halogen lamp would do. After all, there is a temperature of more than 2000°C inside the bulb
Only the delay to heat up to that temperature would be even longer with lower wattages.

One day I will try. But my 10W, 4000h halogen lamp does not want to die, though it is switched on through the whole working day for months now

By the way: there is no visible vapour leaving through the mouthpeace when you keep it switched on and you do not vape for a long time. I do not know why. Maybe the e-liquid just circulates between the hotter and cooler areas inside the housing (in liquid and vapour form). Anyway, ever since I noticed this, I never switch it off, except when I leave for a longer time. Special halogen lamps, however, would die in continuous operation. So, this is the case, when the cheapest is the better.

I think this has real potential.
