I think I want one of these Chameleons!

[aspen]

Just like the the old steam parts look. Personally I would rather have a 3.7 device as small as possible forget all the circuitry. I gots ta tell ya Isaac I put one of the new cartomisers on the dusty laser and performs fantastic! I carry one all the time around the house, its so light weight and battery isn't a issue when at home.

I second this comment
*I'm pretty sure the new Chameleon is supposed to be an all mechanical device in order to make the Chameleon "immortal". I sure hope so. *

I have been really satisfied with the existing chameleon, the switch replacement is easy but hey an all mechanical switch who's going to argue with that. Just a huge bonus and keep me on the *list*.

I think the Vari Volt devices are taking over the market and is the way of the future.
4.5v is where its at..

Maybe this has been answered and/or discussed previously by I need to ask since I don't know.

We have 3.7V batteries as well as 3.0V ones. Why can't a company like AW make 2.5V batteries, LiIon, IMR, or LiFePO4, in a 16340 size? I imagine that when stacked, 5v would provide close to 4.5V under load enabling all of our mechanical devices to provide the "where its at" voltage.

Any thoughts?

I don't know this for sure, but I think it may be a function of the battery chemistry itself. ICR's nominal voltage just is 3.7v, IMR is ever so slightly higher, and LifePO4 just happens to be 3.2v.

There is a custom 5v NIMH battery (14650) that was designed for use with a particular MOD. 5 Volt NIMH Battery

edit: Hmmm... i wonder if that could work in an extended chameleon with a small spacer?

edit2: The nominal voltage of NIMH seems to be 1.2v. Its pretty clear from the picture that the custom "5v" battery is really a stack of 4 small cells.

all the new pairings of atomisers to battery drain rates *where its at* can be achieved several ways now.

Hmm I believe Mr Madness maybe correct, but what do you have to lose by asking right? I'll try tonight.
