From what I have seen from you in the past, this seems to be the next proper step for you. Thanks again for taking us all to the next level!
Oh well then. Sorry if I had a dissenting opinion and didn't just jump on the bandwagon like everyone else.
I should have known better than to do something so stupid as to share an unpopular opinion.

No problem MoonMan,
Wouldn't expect you to jump on any bandwagon, your entitled to your opinion just as I am entitled to mine.

How will this mod compare to a straight booster model with the TI chip in terms of efficiency? According to my research the TI booster will deliver between 85% and 90% efficiency. I currently use a booster mod with the TI chip and AW 2600mah batts and have noticed that the batteries slowly deliver less and less the longer I use them. Will this mod prevent this? And is your claim of 90% efficiency comparable with the TI chips efficiency?
Too complicated to be a good business, a cell phone needs the technology to stay on par and functional, same goes for the never ending rainbow of mp3 players, simple tasks do not require such lvls of technology, a PV should be compared to a light bulb where you push a button to have the lights go on and off thats all you need from it.
Sorry OP but in the end you will only lose money and time in this, work on making it simpler/more affordable, not the other way around.
If you believe that then this device will definitely not be for you. It is however the first PV I've ever been truly intrigued by. Considering that most of the commercial mods available today can be made @ home for a fraction of the cost. Not that there aren't some very well crafted mods out there, but lets face it, they are all just different versions of a battery and a switch. I think that when it is finally brought to market they will be lucky if they can keep up with demand.
Oh dont get me wrong, im as curious and exited as you are but... my common sense says that as of today people get uber ...... when a simple atty breaks and have sometimes to go back to analogs till the spare ones comes on the mail, imagine what will happen when you add a ton of more stuff that can go bad to it.
Know what you mean.... BUT having said that, PVs will evolve and advance like everything else over time. Someone may come up with a more advanced heating element totally unlike an atty that would be regulated by the power tuning of models like this and thus avoid some of the current issues. Who knows.
Meanwhile, though I'm not jumping straight on the bandwagon, I'll be watching this new model development with interest. The uber geek in me can't help but be intrigued!
I am assuming that you have insight into what I would call an unexplored market. Your opinion is valid, there are a lot of people like yourself who feel this is not necessary but there are many who might feel just the opposite. If you can figure out how to make a tube and switch even more simple, I would be glad to here it.
I wont comment on that statement...

I can't wait for this, have heard from many old timers complaining that they would rather have a mechanical device any day because they can fix it themselves and so forth. I still believe this is the future and the way to go.
Cisco, I skimmed over this thread and the positive and negative comments.

Initially many modders may feel the PWM circuit to be too complicated. Most 'first-off' devices are. PWM was the salvation to RC electric models which used to use resistive speed controls. These wasted so much energy and had max current limits that limited the sport. Fast rise time power HEXFETS solved the power and fine control problems. I don't think any plane/car/boat RCer would think PWM is too complicated now that the circuitry has matured and is common place.
Properly designed, a semiconductor power control circuit will outlast any of the other components of an e-cig system. Most people on this forum are reading this with a PWM power control circuit under their fingertips, even if they are using their iphone. The ability to access almost any voltage source and modulate the power will allow the most efficient battery voltage/size to be used and not have to worry about burning up attys, blowing up batteries, or any of the compromising design parameters using resistive linear circuits.
I will give in to some comments that this will not be the 'bottom rung' e-cig that many will put up with because of price. Cheap and simple has it's advantages, as well as it's limitations. But, properly designed (I'm confident you have a handle on that) this power control method will be a 'top shelf' approach to getting the best vaping experience possible.
Best of luck, you rock dude.

I agree. Now just offer a juice bottle feed add-on accessory and the market will be cornered.
I can't believe people don't love the idea. Everything you use has been computerized. Thats why cars get better fuel milage now as the computor keeps adjusting the fuel air mixture to the optimum mixture as you drive. I think your going to have a winner. Now all we need is an injection system added to it.
I agree, no pv is worth buying anymore unless its juice fed, Im sick of filling up carts.
I say make it a custom accessory and let people choose to add it or not. Should be an easy add on to create.
