General design criticisms here!

[Jay-dub]

One thing that bothers me about almost all PV's:

The ignite button lights up, but only when you push it down, which typically covers the light unless you have dainty or transparent fingers. Can I have a light somewhere that won't be covered at the time it's indicating use?

tanks and PV's: Many I get have factory shmutz on them. Is it too much to clean a product before packaging?

Documentation (not exactly a design critique but oh well): Most products I've gotten have little to no directions or guides with them or only have vague guides with small pictures and no specs. Why not use a sale to better inform the customer so they may understand and appreciate the product more?

Anyone else got anything?

Ya, I wanna punch those lights out! Guess the could always mount horns in them so that everyone on the planet would know we were vaping!

Idunno why but the lighted button thing annoys the crap out of me. At least move the LED to somewhere unobstructed by standard use. It doesn't have to be bright or color-changing or pulsing or anything... just placed somewhere that makes a lick of sense.

Jay-dub, I never understood the lighted button thing either. At least on a Provari I can turn the light off so it isn't draining my battery for a feature I can't even see.

I have one. The stupid screw down capture thing SO many RBAs go with, when the slotted capture post is 10X easier.

My issue is that some top RBAs (Kayfun, Russian, Aqua etc.) which cost a C-note (or more!) are using this aggravating post capture.


UGH!

I got the image of a disco ball type effect on an apv! That was funny

Do you just not want an LED or you just don't want to cover it up with your finger/thumb when you use it?

NOOOO, please, no more lights, the only light I want to see is a blinking one to tell me the battery needs recharging.

I don't mind having it as an indicator that the circuit is complete but if it can't be put someplace useful then I don't see it being necessary. It's like putting the read out for your speedometer on the steering wheel at 10 and 2...

Push button, draw. Is there vapor? Circuit complete. I use a mechanical. No lights. Just clouds.

This!!! SO MUCH this!
While the screw down capture isn't necessarily difficult, having holes in the posts is far and above MUCH easier.

I recently got the iTaste 134 and the button often feels like it's pushed when it's not. If I want to see the light as confirmation I have to depress half the button which occasionally causes it to rock on the contacts and shut off due to the "three-click" on/off command. Anyway, I shouldn't need to do a test puff every time either. Besides, without a light button if I draw and get no smoke I have to do further investigating to see if the coils are getting power whereas with an indicator light I'm already instantly informed as to whether or not power is the issue. It can aid in troubleshooting.

i see your "NOOOO" and raise you another "View attachment 270869"

MOAR Lights! a strobe beacon powerful enough to ward off sailing vessels from the coastal rocks during thick fogs!

Runway lights with enough luminosity that airliners will mistakenly try to land on your face! YOUR FACE!!

Iridecense capture systems to give off ethereal glows that make ghosts want to create their very own "Vape Hunter's" TV show.

PV's so bright, or own sun must wear shades to look at Earth (obviously an anthropomorphic personification, not the actual sun because it has no eyes....that we know of)!!!

And why stop at lights? airhorns! foghorns! leghorns! klaxons! bells! whistles! thistles! hustlers! rustlers! cutthroats! murderers! bounty hunters! desperados! mugs! pugs!, thugs!, nitwits! half-wits! dim-wits! vipers! snipers! con men! Indian agents! Mexican bandits! muggers! b*ggerers! bush-whackers! horn swagglers! horse thieves! bull-d*kes! train robbers! bank robbers! *ss kickers, s*** kickers!, and Methodists!









once again...i lost track of where i am and what i was talking aboot.

 

[yaypudding]

puff counters, really?

Screw capture is annoying as all hell.

any cheap metal plating or finish.

Mehh, when I switch toppers, I check to see if they're making a connection by firing it next to my ear. Sizzling = ready to go.

Maybe PV's should have power tool attachments or power tools should have PV attachments. How about marital aids (personal messagers) with PV attachments or PV's with marital aid attachments. (Not sure I can say dildo here...ooops).

Now if there was a light that was INSIDE the tank that made the juice glow, that would be kind of cool.

Yep, toss the puff counter. useless "feature" if there ever was one. And give us the ability to turn the leds on or off instead.
