e-cig v touch screen pen?

[PlanetScribbles]

Why doesn't anyone make an e-cig battery that doubles as an input pen for a touch screen? I use my 510 on my tablet PC but it isn't accurate due to the flat LED tip. It would merely have to have a pointed end to double up as an input pen, and as it is always in my hand it seems the perfect solution for gadget users. It could still have an LED in there, maybe one that activates on touch
I'd buy that for a dollar.

not a bad idea, pitch it to a e-cig manufacturer, i think your on to something there.

I like the way you think Of course it seems like all of the touch screens now are capacitive, which requires a special stylus construction to work (don't get me started....). Do you have a passive touch screen on your device or something?

Oooo, good idea.

Most of the PDA/Smartphone/MID touch screens are still passive, so you can use your finger with them.

vape, touch, vape, touch... wait, that sounds wrong.

I have a Samsung Q1 which uses a plain old plastic pen, and an NDS Lite which again is passive.
Actually I also have an HTC Touch Cruise which is passive lol I do have an Xperia x10 which won't work with a pen, but I use finger input on that anyway.
It just seemed like such a simple thing to implement into an e-cig.

LOL.... get a little of that clear acrylic fill from a craft store and make a tip mold with wax or something - just have the mounting diameter the same as the end cap on your battery (if its the kind with led at the end) ;o)
