A drip tank idea?

[mjt]

I don't use atomizers or drip, it's just too much trouble. That said, the difficulties with the filler devices, tanks, carts and cartomizers just stinks. So I've been thinking about a new device and was wondering what people thought?

It seems to me a good method would be to create drip tank that attached to the atomizer. This device would be made of plexi glass so you can see the liquid. It would contain two chambers, one would simply be the reserve tank, that held a decent amount of liquid, the second chamber would hold the perfect liquid amount for a single heavy vape hit for the atomizer. A buttom would release the liquid from the first tank into the drip tank. Then the tank would either be built so that the atomizer could wick up the liquid in the drip tank or a second button would release the liquid into the atomizer.

This would give the cleanest vape, since the tank liquid is never heated, there is no filler, but it would also take the guess work out of dripping and automate the process.

This tank would seem to be very reusable and I don't think it would be that hard to build for someone with good fabrication skills.

Whats everyone think? Maybe someone has already thought of this.

Sounds kinda like all the juice feeding box mods out there. All u got to do is Pump juice straight from the bottle. I like tanks better. I fill it with 5ml and don't need to worry about it for1-2 days. Refill takes less then 30 seconds.

It sounds like you might want to look into buying a REO. Just give the bottle a little squeeze and vape away.

Sounds like a bottom feeder. Though a feature like the mythical eclipse would be nice were it measured you juice automaticly and and all you had to do was press a button.

I'm ready to try something else, cartomizers aren't much better than carts. I don't feel any better about vaping if I'm smoking filler and both methods have resulted in me inhaling burnt filler.

The effort versus reward is not there and the costs are insane

The vmod works on a variation of that principle:
It has the main bottle which fills a feed chamber that then goes to an atty or carto.

Two 'tanks' - Squeeze the outer tank and juice is transferred to the inner tank where it wicks to the atomizer. When it is used up squeeze again and vape until done. The bonus is that there is no liquid left to leak out and flood the atomizer and/or battery. Works a treat and cheap as chips.

Now if it could be refined with some SS ends I would buy it.

I still say the Fuel(juice) Injection system is the wave of the future.

I still say the Fuel(juice) Injection system is the wave of the future.

Either with a syringe pump or piezo electric micro pump:

Piezoelectric Micro Pump | A leading manufacturer of valves, pumps and manifolds - Takasago Electric, Inc.
Syringe Pumps; Pen-Type | A leading manufacturer of valves, pumps and manifolds - Takasago Electric, Inc.

Another idea, and actually probably pretty easy to implement would be a rotary pump that pinches a plastic tube in a circular fashion. Like those pumps you see on TV during open heart surgery. A small thumb wheel or ratchet trigger would rotate the pinch wheel and deliver a controlled amount of juice.

I got nothing but tongue-in-cheek replies a few weeks ago when I started a thread inquiring about a FI sys. Oh well. Not being anything near a modder myself, I gathered from the replies that such a system was considered too outlandish. minigoat, I like the way you think!

Seems like what you're looking for doesn't quite exist. But a bottom feeder like a reo could come pretty close. Same taste as dripping, no filler...only falls short of what you want in that it doesn't pre-measure the juice for you.

But once you learn how to squeeze it, it'd do it.

The Vapemate from super T would do as well.

The Apex Alpha series will do sort of tank-style with no filler. (Medical ceramic core) They're sort of tricky to get used to, but work great once you've had it a while.

Best,

Super T Manufacturing has the vapemate juice feeder.

I think mingoat has the right idea; a mechanical hydrostaulic pump that uses a thumb wheel to roll/ squeeze the feed hose; but you would need to be able to release the pressure and reset to the starting point. Bottom feeder is less hassle.
