  The one thing I haven't done that I was planning is to make a swappable tail that will plug right into a 12V car outlet, but it turns out I haven't needed to. Having it tethered to the wall is just too convenient to mess with.
  
  The one unplanned consequence is that as the resistor heats and swells, it's popped off of the JBQuik that glued it inside the box. It clunks around inside a little, so I'd add a little pad of felt inside to keep it in place, but it doesn't affect the operation at all.
  
  Let me know how your project turns out!
  
  Regards,
  Bill.

  The single power resistor has just turned out to be so cheap and easy, and so well suited to my optimum vaping wattage, the complexity of adding a varistor doesn't seem worth it.
  
  At first, I wasn't sure if the shape of the box would be easy to use, as it looks kinda awkward at first. But time has proven it to be very comfortable in-use. It falls easily to-hand, has a pleasant old-school heft to it, and being able to put it down in a solid tank-up position has its benefits. I've had no problems with leaking at all, and it can be left plugged in indefinitely and just puff as the moment takes you. (An added benefit of the cord -- it never gets lost!)

  Hi, Alexander! I'm sorry for not replying sooner, I've been out of the loop for a few weeks. The LCM is a few months old now, so I really should post a followup on that thread. Thanks for reminding me of that.
  
  It's gotten sporadically continuous use, and it still vapes very well, giving large clouds of vapor. The Vivinova tank has turned out to be quite a little beast. It holds juice for days, and it can handle long draws without overheating -- I'm still on the original atomizer without a burnout and only one disassembly and cleaning! So far, it's been rock-solid reliable. I didn't count on this, but it's a "plus" -- the resistor heats the box slightly in your hand to "telegraph" when you're vaping too hard and give it a rest for a few minutes. I really wouldn't recommend a variable-voltage setup, as you can fine-tune the wattage with the different resistances of atomizers that already come with the Tank.
