Would anyone be interested in a new mechanical hybrid? I have been consider building one for a while, and I was looking for some input. What do you like about the ones on the market, and what do you not like? Brushed or polished? Thanks for your input.

yes. After looking for one for weeks with no luck i would love to see more of them manufactured. I would like to see a brushed finish (fingerprints). Bottom button (locking if possible). Multiple tubes for different batteries. kick compatible. I prefer Stainless, but thats just me. Please keep me posted, if you come up with anything good, you already have one customer. I was thinking of making my own, but i live in Chicago and the only lathe i have access to is in wassau wisconsin. I am exited that you are up to the task since demand is so high and supply is so low. Good luck
I agree with otis45410. I would like a bottom button with locking ring, multiple tubes, and in polished stainless steel. If you decide to make some, I would like to be on your list. God speed my friend.
make one that holds a kick with the 18650!
and try to make more then 5 a week please lol.

It has to have a bottom buttom(magnets) instead of the use of a spring,with locking feature.Would not have to worry about replaceing as it ages.Either a brushed or satin finish,not really fond of fingerprint magnets.Top cap replaceable and repairable,by user,with adjustable center pin.would prefer choices of slant or flat caps.Needs to be a unique design,original,work of art.Prefer a stealthier design easily pocketable with different battery configurations.Would like to see it in a new unique design something other than the run of the mill devices coming out now a days,not sure how/what to suggest,or what other design other than a tube to make it in?
U-wick compatible
1mm airhole to start (much easier to drill bigger than to make smaller)
2-3ml tank
1mm airhole to start (much easier to drill bigger than to make smaller)
2-3ml tank
U-wick compatible, 1/8" wick holes, use thumb screws like the newer dids so it can be set up without tools, above all though mass production i don't want to sit on a wait list or stay up hoping i get my order in in the5 second window before it sells out.
Looks like the veterans have all the bases covered. Sure would like a nice USA made mod. Quality is worth paying for in most cases. Wish you luck with getting your product to the masses. There are LOTS of us!!! You will be a Vaping Hero if you can keep up with demand.
bottom button, clean but fashionable design, quality material and machining, profit!
been thinking at work and i would like to see another one like the svoe mesto with a few small tweaks.
firts make it a hybrid but the atty section comes off and a 510 head can be attached.
make it a mechanical but like the SM make a separate VV/VW unit that can be screwed on to make it electronic.
make an additional tube that can handle an 18650 with a kick.
some engravings or finish options like brushed or polished would be nice.
make it a hybrid first and work on the additions then you cater to a much wider audience and will have a true hit.
then make me two of them yesterday

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I think I have most of the mechanical components designed, mostly a matter of sourcing parts like the pyrex/fused quartz for the tank. I appreciate all the input, and I'm now working on the exterior design eg. the appearance. some of the best looking mods on the market are the Juggernaut, and the IHybrids, would you all prefer something in a simple metal finish like the Jugg where the design is in the shape or something anodized and engraved more similar to the IHy's.
I prefer the iHybrid look, but that's just what I like. I also like the look of the Chi_You where its either SS or brass with laser engraving. The engraving goes a long way as far as looks goes.
What about a two tone finish,satin,or depending on the type of MOD it will be,even a blasted finish like the Legacy.If it's a telescoping design i think it would look sweet.I am not fond of shiny fingerprint magnets.
I have pretty much decided to go either brushed or satin, and I assure you it will not be telescoping. it will be a tube mod that will use adjustable brass contacts to reduce rattling. I just don't really like the look of the telescoping mods.
Maybe I'm in a minority, but multiple tubes for different batteries? Sure. Like every other hybrid out there these days... I'd love to see something a bit different. I mean, is there a good reason nobody makes a telescoping hybrid? I would think it could be done without significantly impacting performance, but nobody does it.
And bottom buttons? Am I the only person in the world who hates them, and finds that to be the most uncomfortable position possible for the button? This is another place I think people need to get creative and come up with something better than the same old thing.

well I may make a telescoping version as well, I'll have to see how things go at the shop. I do like bottom buttons though, because no matter how the device is turned you can always push the button the same. PS: aren't you in the coop for the AFPV... it has a bottom button.
