Some more ideas

[markab]

This sounds like fun! Here's some more ideas;

1) How about a small push button or dial selector to adjust the amout of nicotine being atomized. You could dial it down to conserve nicotine or up for when your having a really bad day.

2) Incorporate a very small narrow LCD display to indicate how much nicotine remains in the cartridge. The same display could also show remaining battery power (something like a 5 bar graph)

3) A blinking LED to indicate when you've "smoked" the equivelent of a regular cigarette.

Hmmm.... I wonder how long it will be before someone steals one of my ideas

I definitely think the blinking after you've smoked the equivalent of a cigarette could and should be incorporated. This could be made optional.

Perhaps the tip could serve as a function-choosing button rather than an LED?

I think there should be a shut off period when a cigarette is consumed because we all puff on the ecig far to much IMO, obviously with a switch off / on for those of us who wanna puff none stop lol

I like this one - should have a shut off period but with the option of shutting off the shut off. LOL

Rachel, I've begun using fluid with nicotine for a time, then putting that e-cig aside and using another with Bickford flavor, tobacco liquid and glycerine (no nicotine). With just commercial stuff, I think I've had too much nicotine in my blood stream, because I'm almost never without the e-cig in my hand. I like e-smoking, but don't want to pay the same for wimpy 6mg fluid as for 24mg (like paying 24k gold prices for 18K stuff). I've always bought only the highest nic level, then cut it, sometimes to 6mg levels. Course, I'm sure Netherlanders have tried that and gone back to commercial cartridges.

As you know I normally use "medium" but sometimes cut it in half with either PG or Bickford. I did try your way and bought 24mg cartridges and cut it way down.

I agree, it just makes sense to use lower nicotine amounts throughout the day if you are constantly e-smoking. I almost never have this thing out of my hands either.

Maybe because I have a constant supply of nicotine in my system, but I honestly cannot tell the difference if I am smoking "medium" or my mixture of "low", can you?

I'm sure if I stay on "low" long enough I would, but to substitute it throughout the day, I can't. I am sure that would be a different story with "non".

I honestly don't "feel" any difference between 24mg straight and the "cut" lesser nicotine fluid. I'm pretty sure the kick I'm getting is mostly psychological -- watching the vapor go in and out. That gives me hope of some day dumping the nicotine altogether.

One day all we will need is our "vapor" hit and we will be happy.
