I was thinking this would be closer to the size of a refrigerator than a tank. All the gear for making and installing coils, and cutting and threading wicks, with a huge robot brain and high tech sensors. Maybe instead you could build a vaping station and keep the complicated stuff out of the tank. Stick your tank in a slot and the machine would strip it down, wash it, reassemble it, and install the coil and wick of your choice. Just download the service program for your tank and go.
This would be made a lot easier with a simplified connection... some sort of screw in cartridge coil perhaps... hmmm...

Yeah, that way you could get it down to the size of a toaster oven instead of a refrigerator. Unless you wanted it to mix the juice for you as well.

Sure would be nice to throw your tanks in the slot at night and pick them up in the morning ready to go.

Again flinstones technology definitely has some advantages, if only we could become advanced enough to develop it

Wonder if this works with wood coils?

It does occur to me though that a plutonium coil would be permanently self heating. Not sure it would get hot enough though.
I bet someone could modify an arc welder vape.... Just sayin. Would harmful chemicals be produced when juice is turned into plasma?

Hmm. I bet a standalone machine that could do coils for you would actually sell a little. Have dies that house different gauges of wire, program your wraps half and full, spaced or not, final leg length, materials input for n80, ka1, wood, nickel etc..If someone could make one small enough for a desk and cheap enough I think itd be pretty cool. Inside an atty is just highly impractical though. This idea might actually have something to it.

This just sounds as ridiculous to my ears as your other topics...... Sorry but just no i like DIYing my stuff gives me something to do whenever i'm bored i just build coils in advance and making a new build even starting from 0 takes 25mins tops, usually just do it with my coffee in the morning tbh.

They actually did use battery powered arc welders made out of disposable cameras to weld non resistance wire to resistance wire for rebuilding cartos for a while back in the day. Quite pyrotechnic. There’s this him as the capacitor in the camera flash charges up then a bang and the two wires are welded together end to end

If Prince Charles vaped he would have a guy in a bowler hat and white gloves to bring him his gear in the morning on a silver tray. All the tanks freshly coiled and wicked to perfection, filled with artisan juice prepared by the royal juice maker. My wife has a deal a bit like that though I don't wear a bowler hat.

A robot would do for me though.

What you want is a machine that makes tiny torsion springs.

Adding "wood" into the materials list made me choke. Well done, sir

Good stuff @Swoop03 :)

Another neat one is circuit board stuffing, wave soldering and inspection. This has always fascinated me.

Part stuffing starts at 3:44 and optical inspection at 6:38. It can be done really fast and is fully computerized. In this case there are some components that are better stuffed by hand because some things are still better handled with the versatility of the human touch. Of course, this example is not exactly good for low production assembly jobs :D
