THAT is a vaporizer baby!

OooO! Is that the super secret hyperbaric vaporization pod ProVari has been working on?

It only costs $132,000. A great home vaporizing device. It can also phase shift you into another dimension as well, albeit only for 38 seconds at a time.

ENERGY STAR ADVISORY:
Annual energy cost: $12,259.

Very insensitive of us all. We should be ashamed!

Oh great! I imagine now the debate will be over variable decompression vs variable compression...

Let's face it. If you can afford that beast, you aren't going to give two hoots about how much it costs to run. :D

I figure you need two tankers. One to park outside and the other to replace it when you run dry. :D

Well, I for one am refusing to get into a vapor pod until all of the bugs have been worked out. A dry hit in that thing would be staggering.

used to work in plasma physics, idea from:
Inertial confinement fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
point a bunch of laser beams at a single point and it gets really hot.

2 responses solely to correct the spelling of something that was said in the voice of Dr. Evil.
can i expect a 10% grammar/spelling-nazi base-rate across ecf or is that only in the new members forum?

Well, it did come over as a bit 'mad scientist' because of that. I was thinking of something similar myself though, so you had me intrigued.

You won't be able to vaporise the liquid within the fluid medium and be able to get any airflow, so you might still have to deal with wicks. I'd suggest that the atomiser will need to built along the lines of a standard atomiser but without the coil - the liquid could be vaporised directly off the mesh bridge instead of a wire wrapped coil.

This gets back to all the other problems of the standard atomisers however - dry hits if the wicking doesn't work or can't keep up with the vaper, and a vaporising substrate that needs to be cleaned or replaced when it gets fouled. What it will do is eliminate coil burnouts

The only other option that I've been able to come up with is a gravity fed tube where the liquid is held back by the very fine bridge mesh. The heating lasers could then be applied directly to the mesh - same problems as above however. With this method the viscosity and therefore the PG/VG mix would have to be precise for the tube diameter and the mesh - too thick and it won't feed quickly enough through the mesh, too thin and it would leak like a sieve (which of course it is).

If multiple lasers were required there'd need to be some way of maintaining the focus on the bridge as any misalignment of the bridge (after maintenace) would affect the efficiency of the system.

I'm sure both methods could be made to work, however I think you'd need to eliminate the maintenance aspects for this to be practical, otherwise you'd be better staying with the cheaper and simpler resistance coil.

This opens up a whole new world of exciting possibilities: a 5 watt laser pointing up from the battery - Mr Average the user removes his driptip to see what's happening in the Laser Vaporization Chamber - hits the button to get a view of the cunning new laserisation process - a small hole is drilled through his eyeball, out through the back of his head, and up into the ceiling.

CSI are called in and that cool dude says, "This looks like a professional hit".

Now that is what I call progress, forget your old-fashioned exploding batteries and stuff, we are in the 21st century now.

My beta unit focused a non bipolar half phase shifted in the 400nhz range of the UV spectrum. Beam contact with the ejuice takes place at the convergent point of a heptagon crystal prism. As light from the UV laser-beam passes through the prism it is broken down into it's primary, secondary and tertiary components, then reflecting back focusing on the vaporization point staining the vapor produced with each color.

The result was pretty cool at first, blowing out a rainbow of vapor clouds and all. I was accused of publicly performing magic and barely escaped being burned at the stake (ironically by blowing a multi-colored cloud in the direction of the pitchfork wielding inbound crowd.) As I ran off and rounded the corner I heard someone say, "Dude, look at all the colors"...

If I can just get rid of the wild colors this thing puts out, I may just go public with it. It's too dangerous in it's current configuration.

Great, more fodder for the FDA. Vaping (amongst other nasty habits) can make one go blind!

Darwinism can be a beautiful thing, if we'd just let it work naturally, and not get in it's way...

Yes it is. But it is only "Variable Voltage". No plans for a VW model in the foreseeable future... ;-)

Actually, VV/VW will be a non-issue, since the pod runs on solar powered 220v. The debate will be between the superiority of decompression vs compression vaporization. Your Oxygen Level May Vary.
