I wonder if the Carts could be placed in the vaporizers inplace of the tobacco, wouldn't matter if they dried up as they can constantly be rewet with smokin juice

I never thought of that - it might work. Do you think the fibres might burn?

It works. I tried it. But I worried about the liquid seeping down into the works, so I didn't do much.

But on mine, the chamber is seperated from the heating element. I wouldn't do it on one where the fibers could contact the heting element.

You have a voprizer Leoford? If so, what model? I've been tryign to think of soem way to heat up a soaked wool piece to just below the burn level to produce vapor, but am coming up empty on ideas. Don't really want ot use a lighter-driven device- would rather have a smalluish battery device in the form of a conventional smoking pipe if possible- just gotta figure out a way to heat hte ceramic with a robust heating element.

Here's somethign I hadn't htought about- electric ceramic Extract vaporizers- that use a few drops of extract to create vapor - there are even cheaper ones in supermarkets in hte 'scent' isles that vaporize room scents- would just have to figure a way to capture the vapor ofr inhalation- but that shouldn't be too hard- just a dome with a tube- making a sort of hookah- Would be nice to have an 'on demand switch' of some sort htough instead of continuous vaporizing- I spose you could just plu it in until it vapes, take 10-15 drags, then unplug, but it woudl take a few minutes for it to keep heatign back up- but I spose once the ceramic gets hot, it will cool down slowly and heat up more quickly the next time- But I'd stil llike ot find somethign more portable and battery operated as well as plugin. anyweay- here;s the link http://www.extracts.co.nz/index.php?cPath=38_39

I've got several models; my favorites are the HerbalAire and the VaporGenie. BUt what you're describing doesn't exist, and would be unnecessary anyway. You don't need to get a liquid nicotine solution anywhere near as hot as herbal vaporizers operate. Our little devices get plenty hot enough for the purpose. The problem is reliability and endurance.

Now, if you want something that can vaporize herbal extracts, yeah, what you describe would be nice, but the closest things to it are still bigger and use exterior battery packs.

Yep- that's the problem I was hopingto overcome- the unreliability of hte devices- Was thinking abotu gettign a vaporizer for at home use, and just takign hte pens with me on the road when I'm out- to save on the E-Ciggs length of use-

Hello I see what you are trying to do here with the e-hookah, but it looks to me like reinventing the wheel I think it might be easier to tinker with a fog machine than to build from scratch. There are plenty of small ones (400W) on the net for 20-30USD. I would post some links but I'm not yet allowed, use google (for "Lighting 400W Fog Machine", for example) These being said, nice to meet you guys, I still don't have a e-cig but I'm waiting for deliveries from 2 suppliers. I hope I'll like e-cig smoking

Welcome Mihai - great ideal, now wondering if anyone is willing to try it. LOL

Here is one link: 400 Watt Fog Machine - SALE - $24

Could you imagine putting a hose at the end and pouring in 50ml of your e-liquid. I wonder if it would work??? Where's leaford?

I'd like to connect that hose to an air conditioning vent leading into the room where Tobacco-Free Kids would be holding its annual convention.
