HOW DOES IT WORK!
Maybe it doesn't and just looks cool?
Looks like the Fang could sport different adapters to fit several ecig models. Is that in any future plans?
Tin, everything that comes out of you is Perfect! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/10173-my-prototype.html
What the hell do you eat???

Hey, Tinear, Great Job!! I'm standing in line to be one of your testers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: I still want a Sidewinder!!!!!!!!!

I've been bitten on the face by a snake, not nice.
Sorry to go off topic a little, I had to share after seeing the pic in the firs post!

It was a python like the one in the photo so no venom, just 200 sharp teeth. Ripped an eyelid, punctured the other, and ripped my nose open. Hospital did a good job and now you cant tell it ever happend. I was 15 years ago though! I still keep snakes - didnt put me off. Just gave me more respect! Andy
hi all!
yup, that about sums it up. a modified 3ml high density polyethylene dropper bottle screws into a receptor, creating a leak proof seal. applying firm and steady pressure forces eliquid through the connecting tubes and out the "fang". no motorized pumps to break or batteries to charge. just press and vape.
my opinion might be a little biased, but yes, i'd say that it gets the job done very efficiently. my goal was to create a user friendly, manually operated dripping device that works as simply and as easily as possible. i've tested it with a variety of liquids from (i think) different manufacturers, and also with a 33% pure glycerin/juice mixture. it handles the different viscosities very well.
not at all. the battery switch is as easily accessable as before. once you handle it for a little while i'm sure you'd find the entire unit quite comfortable to hold and operate.
if used properly the unit itself is pretty much spillproof and leakproof. it is intended to be operated in an upright vertical positon just as you would for regular dripping, but when not in the process of actually "dripping" can be held horizontally or inverted. vape as you normally would.
overfill can occure, but it has to be almost intentional. the drops that come out of the Fang are small compared to what you see from a standard eyedropper and it takes somewhat more effort to use than your regular squeeze dropper. pumping too often or for too long could result in overfill, just as dripping too much or too often might.
on the plus side, the Fang is completely water emersable and washable. it may even be dishwasher safe, but i haven't tried that yet. the silicone "boot" tip is also removable for cleaning/replacement.
thanks! it's funny, because about halfway through designing it i thought to myself "this reminds me of something...." and sure enough when i was looking around for snake-ish names, ie: "venomizor", "constrictor", "vapor vipor" ~ i came across the "how fangs work" diagram. it was definitly a " duh " moment.
i did all the shaping by hand, sorry. but the raw materials themselves are available: polycarbonate tubing, silicone tubing, brass tubing, epoxy, etc. all pretty basic stuff.
as it stands now the Fang will work for the 510 and 901 series and also (with a slight mod to an existing cart) the RN4091. there may be others, but these are the only models i have in my possession to spec from.
by using a female coupling instead of a cart style male connection to the atomizer, the Fang creates a tight seal on a variety of models.
hopefully, i will be privy to feedback as to any other models it is compatible with.
i am also working on a fiber cart model, but there are still some things to work out. it may turn out that there will be a true "cart" adaptor. we'll see.
external pressure to the bottle, though in my early prototype i did observe some movement by the liquid though the tubes caused by the reduced air pressure in the "cart" during drawing ~ but man, you'd have to suck like a Hoover to pull enough through to vape, and chances are you'd be drinking it before it ever got to the atomizer. it did make me stop and think about it, though.
as far as a video demo goes ~ i'll do what i can, but unfortunately ATM my priorities lay elsewhere.
i thank all those that offered to beta for me. in the spirit of fairness i will tell you that i have been in contact with a fellow forum member for the past two weeks or so concerning Fang. their input has been and continues to be a valuable asset, and i appreciate both their patience and confidence. they are #1 in line, no discussion. sorry. perhaps they may share and review, perhaps not. that's up to them.
thanks all for the comments! i'll try to get into more detail and answer more when i can.
cheers!

How do you know when the right amount of juice has been dripped? Is it one hard squeeze of the bottle for one drop; does it keep dripping until you let off on the pressure?
define "right amount"? lol! IMHO, there are so many variables. but anyway, to your Q's ~
there is a time factor involved. it takes an aproximate 2 second count of sustained pressure to apply one drop, and an additional one second of continued pressure for each following drop. any undripped liquid is pulled back into the bottle. i've include a "cheat" window so that a user can follow the progress of the liquid as it travels toward the "fang". after a little while of usage it becomes more muscle memory than concious effort.
you have to get used to the idea that you'd no longer have to "load up" liquid between drips.
"hmm... i put three drops on already. do i go for four or will that be too much?"
ok, if this helps at all ~
i "pumped out" all the liquid from the resevoir bottle.
filled with exactly 20 drops (aprox 1ml +/-) of eSmokeyTreats Marlb 15ml 36mg
then reinstalled the resevoir bottle and counted exactly 53 drops to empty again.
so it takes roughly 2.5+ Fang drops to equal one "standard" dropper bottle drop.

that is the most awesome thing i have ever seen! you pretty much just PWNED all other mods!
Tinear:
Great job! I'm looking forward to this being marketed by you. Any idea when I can purchase one from you?

hey! thanks for the (re)interest!
actually, i'm going to start working up a batch very soon, though unfortunately these suckers are very labor intensive to make so it'll take some time.
in the meantime, here's a preview of V2.0.....

That looks so freaking cool. I am in awe of your genius. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on these for when you start to market them.
