That darn burning taste

**jarvis** · 07-21-2008, 06:29 AM

Here's the simplest/cheapest solution to the burnt taste with the current e-cig design. With a minor redesign the steel wool bridge is hinged, it flips back, with tweezers you yank the old burnt coil/fiber out, and plug a new one in. Since it's just a wire with a bit of thread in it it couldn't cost more than a couple bucks for a whole bag of these things.

Jarvis, have you taken a look at hte loongtotem design yet? I really couldn't tell from Mixos' vid, but it looked like a simpler design- maybe even more robust- especially if it could be built with a manual on off switch and do away with auto sensor altogether

Haven't people reported the roll of material in that design burning up?

Mixos doesn't seem to be running into thast problem- I'm thinking that the oens that might burn up are perhaps smoked too long until they are dry

posting here to bring this thread back up and into view again ... it's to good to let it lapse into obscurity

I know that in airmass sensors a self cleaning cycle is used, but that sensor has a platinum wire and the heat burns all residue off.
In case of Atomizers it is more likely a "Buy me a new Starter Kit" signal.
Just the idea to heat clean plastic fiber is very sick. There must be some better material out there for the coil or a different coil design which dies not need fiber. Heat and plastic sounds not healthy.

Well Well i've been here for 2 months or so and also believe this needs a bump as it is very very interesting reading.

In fact these days i don't read, just scan and pick out the data i want but this thread stopped me and made me do that which i hate the most, reading!

My sedansa has just packed up and tommorow am gonna rip the btch to bits just to see if they are all the same, as when she smoked....she was the queen

Anyway good work folks
