Will you be using an "off the shelf" regulation chip or building your own?
Aside from money, the lack of VV is the sole thing that has kept from buying a Reo.
The only other somewhat comparable device I recall seeing is the Vmod. Would seem to be of NOT durable quality from user reviews.
Yours has all the earmarks of filling an empty niche in the vape world. Watching with interest (-:

I will be building my own chip. Existing ones on the market will not fit my mod dimensionally, unless I make the mod really big.
Rather than VV, I'm thinking more of a constant voltage type of thing, to take care of the variation in voltage as battery gets drained. The way I figure, as long as the voltage is consistent, say, 4.2 V, vapers can find their sweet spot by varying the coil resistance. In another word, the module is a "set it and forget it" device. Of course, I'm open to new ideas at this stage, and I will take your suggestion into account. Only thing is, I'm not sure I can fit a high powered VV device into the space that I have. I will have to look into that.
There is a similar thing to mine on the market called the Kick, but last time I checked, it only allows for 10 or 15 W (can't remember), which is way too low for me. It's also designed for tubular mods and rests on top of the battery (correct me if I'm wrong). If I used it for a box mod, then the firing switch will have to be taller, and with the 18650 battery, it's pretty uncomfortable unless you have really big hands.
Haha, thanks.
I always like to offer something a bit different no matter what I build.
Soon, I will post some concept of my atty, and hopefully get some feedback from members.
There are two Kick models, the original is max 10 watts and Kick 2 is max 15 watts. It is designed to fit on top of the battery in a tube mod. When used in a tube that isn't long enough to use it with a 18650, a 18490 or 18500 battery is used. It has a grounding pin on the side of it that must make contact with the metal tube. This would still still be an option in your design as long as the pin could make contact with the metal box.
I wouldn't mind a constant voltage regulator. It would have a definite advantage over unregulated and easily adjusted with resistance.
I'll let others toss about the specs but what I need to know is there only one design? Color? Will there be textures??
Thanks and good luck!

subbed.
I'm very interested in this and wouldn't mind being included in your beta tester when your ready.
Mechanicals use the kick, so I'm not sure how that would interfere with firing. It might make it longer, more tube-like but you still have the juice bottle to balance that out.
A feature I really enjoy about the Vmod is that 'cone' on top. It's ulta simple and allows for any unsealed (old school) atty / cartridge to be used. No coiling, rebuilding, tanks needed and prevents fluid in the drip cup from leaking. It makes it fast, simple, brain-dead and convienent to carry around. My problem with the REO is that I rarely get a chance to vape at a desk / or home. I need something that i can carry / gets tossed around. Reo's and rba's leak. Vmod's cone doesn't (over simplifying). It approaches the convienence of a cig which is what I need.
The Vmod also has a good cut out design that's very easy to use. I'm right and left handed. It's one of the few designs I don't have to pay attention to how I'm holding it. AWESOME. Too bad the Vmod is made of such easily broken materials. Their switch SUX and not in a good way.
Constant power would be a HUGE plus - IMO more so than adjusting volts or watts. My understanding (based on Psbuardo vids) the Provari and Innokin use some sort of power regulation to acheive that (not pwm); specifically in MVP. It might be possible to investigate what chip was used there. I know in the Provari factory video, they stated their chip-maker was local, as in down the street.
Very interesting possibilites.

Currently, the surface finish is like what you'd find on a Ipod Nano. I want to offer a brushed finish (like satin) version too. More textures and colors will be added when there are more demand, but as of right now, I don't really have the volume needed to offer one in different colors. Some parts of my mod requires tooling and I'm still trying to break even on that, while keeping the price reasonable.
But I do plan to eventually add color options, so stay tuned.
Thanks for the advice.
I understand your concern about leaks, I've had prior issues with that as well. A common source of leaking in a bottom feeder is a RDA that does not drain well. and I've tackled many sources of potential leaking in my design.
Just like you, I travel around with my e-cig a lot too. I'm thinking about eventually doing a belt clip type of accessory so the mod can be carried on the belt like a old school cell phone or walk man, rather than dangling around in the pocket. What do you think about that?
Well women's clothes don't have belts or pockets often - so think purse but yea, belt clips work and so do carbingers (what I use). But wouldn't that be a function of the case?
One of the reasons I originally became attracted to this forum factor was for outdoor sports / hiking etc. I just discovered what worked well for that, worked well everyday too. I've got one with a rubberized coating that is very nice to hold (like the black 1300mah spinner). It doesn't react to temp changes (I live where it's over a hundred and metal heats up but I've heard complaints about cold too). I've often wondered if that coating can't be bouant (not sure of the spelling) like neoprene. Not so much water proof/resistant but bounces back to the top if dropped into a lake vs. sinking - which also works as insulation against temp extremes. Temp changes VG rather dramatically. That's a performance issue no one's addressed.
Those are all extras. But you can see where I was going. There's a lot of interesting materials around. I have too many ideas and sincere appreciation for good design.
Well the cone was smart but decroative. Wouldn't a gromment for atty use work as well? I've seen some others with removable 510's lately. Remove it for a hybrid type rba connection. Possibilities. Different connections for different attys.

Shades of the AdaptEvers I bought in '09. Set screw secured 510 and 901 connectors came with it.
Alright, here's my a concept drawing of my atty...
Notice the very small clearance (about 1.5mm) between the top of the coil post screw and the atty cap. The diameter of the inner chamber is 13 mm. This has about 25- 30% less chamber volume than the Cyclone. According to my personal experience and that of some other vapers, small chamber volume increases the intensity and flavor of the vape. We'll see how this vapes...
I guess I'm just a bit obsessed with chamber volume. For those who vape with single coil, I'm even thinking about making a silicone insert (chamber reducer) that can be attached to the cap in order to further decrease the chamber space (where the 2nd coil goes).
Also notice the funnel like shape of the deck, to facilitate draining.
Feedback?

No doubt that the smaller the atomizing chamber the better the the flavor. The funnel concept is a great idea and would make the unit more portable friendly.
One thing that I think is a must is adjustable air flow, with a generous amount when wide open. I really like the Stillare design for air flow, it has a two piece cap with matching slots. One fits inside the other that allows you to turn and adjust the air flow. On the newer caps the inside piece has three slots, two are used for a dual setup and the third is used if you only want one coil.
How generous are you talking about? Adjustable air flow is something I've been thinking about too.
