Is it possible to produce cartos that are...

[want to quit]

... soft? I never thought about this but my neighbors who are around 45-55 years old and smoked their whole lives have bought a e-cig without knowing that I vape as well. We had a couple drinks on the weekend and my neighbor said "I can't do this it is nothing like a real cig". I brought over my whole collection of juices (since he used a disposable e-cig (newb)) and we tried one after another for no joke 3 hours. At like 1am he found a juice that he really liked maple tobacco from BWB and still something was bothering him.

Turns out the only thing that really bothered him was that the carto, cart, clearo, was hard plastic. So I was wondering would it be possible to produce soft cartos to give first time users a more cig like experience? Really all that has to be changed in my opinion (note I have no clue) is that you use soft rubber material to give cig quitters the feeling of having a normal filter on their e-cig.

Do you guys think it would be possible?

Do you think this would result in less usage for refilling the cartos?

Do you think I will make millions if I produce soft cartos? (jk about this question)

the clear dual coil cartos are a little softer, and they vape great (and hold 50+ drops of juice). I am stuck on them.

Put a hole (or two or three) in the bottom of a carto condom and slide it half way over the mouthpiece.

you could also use a soft rubber mouth piece instead of hard plastic drip tip

i never was much of a cigarette .... chewer when i was a smoker ...i put it in my mouth took a drag took it out. So for me the fact that the carto's or cartridges are made out of plastic/metal doesnt bother me. If your neighbors are chewers and need something more ply-able i also suggest getting rubber drip tips to fit onto a cartomizer. That way they can be chewed on and feel softer on the lips.

Thanks guys didnt even know there is such a thing as a rubber drip tip. He gave me his E-cig which seems to be some kind of 808 kinda deal guess I have to give it back with a rubber drip tip to get him off analog cigs. Thanks everyone

I LOVE using a plastic sleeve from my cartos- I take the 'condom' and cut the end off- then slip it over the carto- I can then hold it between my teeth with NO problems. LOVE it- I will sit and have it in my mouth- kinda chewing it like a pen- and I NEVER did that with cigs- couldnt handle the smoke in my face to even hold it in my mouth while I did anything- but I will the ecig with a condom on it

Who makes rubber drip tips?

Sorry... but I'm completely unsympathetic to people who would say, "e-cigs are great except they're plastic instead of the soft, micro-fiber-emitting filter" feel I'm used to." (and really, not inhaling those fibers contribute to the safety aspect of the e-cig.)

I'm sorry, but I find that the equivalent of someone in the early 1900s saying, "I like this automobile thing, but I can't stand pressing the gas pedal. You need to make a way for it to accelerate when I slap a whip against it."

It's one thing to be "set in your ways" -- I know I am. It's quite another thing to say, "Everything must be exactly what I'm used to because I'm too old to change."

Ever tried using the patch?

Part of my frustration with things like this is because of the work I do... which is internet tech.

I get people in their 90's who say, "This is so exciting, I love learning all this new stuff and exploring this new world."

I get an equal number of people who say, "I'm in my fifties and way too old to learn all this high-tech stuff."

As I continue to age, I know what group I want to be a part of.

And that's the end of my tangent.

Yep, people can run an IPhone, but still don't know how to check their trans fluid on their car. Stick motor oil in the brake fluid resevoir.

There are many skills in life, usually people pick a few and forsake a lot of others. A man used to fix his own car and his own plumbing, not that way anymore. But they feel good they can write a Java app with a monkey dancing in the corner. A man might be able to build a barn, yet somehow he is less then someone else because he can't seem to get his TV connected on his wireless network?

Odd how times are changing isn't it?
