There is a thread for IIRC Atlantis, nautilus and Triton heads. What we need is the industry to set a standard for all tanks to take the same coils.

That might knock out some innovation. For example, the 51O connection hasn't evolved much yet it's notoriously weak and ineffective. The fact many of these coils are naturally evolving towards similar dimensions probably has a function unrelated to compatability and in this case, that's probably a better direction.

What I find interesting is that Kanger has loads of 3rd parties developing clones and some of them are making improvements on the original design. IMO that's the way it should be, just drop the logo. Aspire doesn't have the same 3rd party development, at least not for MTL vapers. I can't figure out what makes the difference. I have suspicions and they have nothing to do with popularity or even function.

I do think it illustraates the value of a healthy clone, or generic, market as another pathway for innovation. In the longrun that will benefit Kanger and not the reverse. The logo issue is unrelated.

@pokemom ...

When your football team, well, stinks, your fans might get somewhat creative when presenting questions to their newly named coach.

He does kinda look like a young Putin. I'm not thrilled with this choice, the hubby thinks it is just what we need. Thoughts?

NOW I understand! Your team is from AARP!! :lol:

While that sounds good at first, it would stifle innovation.

I really don't know enough about him to comment. As bad as we've been, I'm not complaining about anything (yet). I'd have liked to have given Mike Shula a shot (I know that sounds absurd, but I've been known to be absurd), but it didn't work out that way.

The proof, as they say, will be in the Putin.

PUDDING! I meant to say that the proof will be in the PUDDING!!!

:laugh:

I'm not much for regulations, if I must be honest. Let the market decide (please).

Maybe innovation would come from not having to design for so many different sizes and shapes and things changing every two weeks.

I've not changed much at all. Pretty much the same two coils for... Idunno... 18 months?

Kat - do YOU know how long we've been using these options?

So people think it is nifty that an Aspire BVC happens to fit and work in a Kanger tank but making this more widespread is a bad idea.

Widespread is GOOD.

Doing it by force is not.

JUST my opinion, and it's not getting me very far these days (not just vape-related).

Having survived the days of adapters for 501 and 901 and 808 and whatever... 510 is ok.

No one seems to be jumping on the P3 bandwagon.

I'm fine with 510. They work great for me. All four of my P3 threaded devices have never exposed the P3 threads (they remain in 510 mode, 100% of the time.

I am in favor of Gase. And I am in favor of regulations. Gase has been good with improving the performance of QBs. I wish the EAGLES would have gotten him. I hope he helps Tannenburghillsteen, or whatever his name is. And strong regulation is absolutely a necessity in a market economy. I don't want lead in my drinking water or window sill paint, but a pure market economy would provide exactly that because product cost and short-term profits become the leading market factors without regulation. The free market must be tempered by extensive regulation to protect public interests from private greed. And extensive regulation does not need to be a damper on innovation in any way.
