Ok not to divulge to much info but I have increased the battery size to 14500 's , It will have 80% of the functions of the Buzz as well and be sleek and nice looking . including a easy to use single turn thumbwheel pot for adjustment

"Adjust-A-Hit "

Sounds good. What won't it have that the Buzz does?

I got to thinking more about this mod you're working on and I wondered if it's going to end up being longer than the Buzz? I don't know anyone who has done a mod with 2 14500 batteries and maybe that might be to long to appeal to people. Maybe you should do a poll before you go through the trouble and expense of designing this. Find out if people would rather have long and thin or short and fat like the Buzz. I think I'd rather have short and fat.

I would have to agree. I did some quick calculations and I don't believe this unit could be less than 5 3/4". That's about 7 1/4" with atty and drip tip. That thing would be huge and difficult to wield(maybe you could call it the yardstick)

Might want to stick with the original concept. Make it sleeker and more unnoticeable so it will not look like illegal drug paraphernalia and appeal to the masses(I am unable to walk past my foreman without him saying "looks just like my old sneak a toke"). In general when you try to do something like this there are going to be some trade offs(sacrifice battery life to improve appearance)

Maybe call it The Whisper

It is about 117mm tube length and 124mm total length with no atty so just under 5" long , the tube is 1/2" longer that the Buzz.

I have a prototype being made to see how it looks and works out.

A 10440 style would be shorter by 12 mm or 1/2"

Using a 14430 would make it 4.4 " long !!

A 14430 battery mod sounds interesting. I think you might have a winner with that one. :)

They are readily available as well I am going to get some to try out first . They have permanent ones that I could put a USB or charger port on the unit so just recharge it ??? NAW bad idea .

A permanent battery? You mean you couldn't change it? Yeah I agree that's a bad idea. The only drawback that I can see with a 14430 is Ultrafire is the only one that I know of that makes one and not to many places carry it. You'll have to make sure you keep a good stock of them so that people can always buy them from you. If you and Madvapes ran out people would be in trouble. :)
