Is this idea realistic? Would it be possible to make a clear cylindrical chamber that holds liquid and feeds it to a cartomizer?
I guess a built-in connector from the battery would need to run through the chamber to go up to the cartomizer, or could even just run halfway through the chamber... because if you were to make the cartomizer fit almost flush, halway inside the chamber, it could restrict air flow much like the cone of a Riva or eGo, and eliminate the need for a cone altogether. I would personally enjoy a little less air flow restriction than what the cone provides, this piece could also provide that - provided anyone else shares that desire.
I imagine that on either just the battery connection side, or on both sides (for symmetry), there would be a solid band to cover the metal thread connection to the battery.
I drew up a little example and it kinda made me realize that, for the chamber to hold a substantial or convenient amount of liquid, it would need to be larger in circumference than the Riva battery. I reflected that in the picture. I would really like it if the chamber didn't have to be any larger in circumference - it would look a whole lot slicker - but I just don't know how much liquid you could get in a chamber that small. Maybe an increase in length of the chamber (and the battery/carto connection) would be doable, and could make the liquid storage space more substantial, but I kinda doubt it.
Obviously, I guess, the connector that bridges the gap between carto and battery would be attached to the inside of the chamber, so the entire apparatus including the carto could be easily unscrewed and screwed onto different batteries.
So I'm just wondering if this is doable- Would it be convenient? Is it possible to have a chamber like this actually feed a carto? Would it need some sort of user action i.e. button or squeeze to push the liquid into the carto? If so, is THAT doable?
I just really like the idea of 1. A clear, always-visible chamber to see the liquid and how much is in there and 2. not having to refill my cartos as often. It only takes about a half hour for flavor to start diminishing with my LR cartos.
