There is no list, for those who have not read the entire thread.
And the lack of posting from the maker suggests some things...
1) It may look pretty, but there are still some "technical issues" to work out
2) There may be a lack of motivation to get this into production
3) There may be a concern for pending legal issues prior to going into production
4) There may be some issues with lack of knowledge as to how to go into production
5) There may be patents pending
All I know is this is what I want, and I want it BAD.

That is something I would rob a grandmother for. It would probably mean I would have to resign at my church but it would be worth it! Would love to have a dream machine mod. Hmmm, that sounds like a good name for it actually, The Dream Machine since if it can get done right that's what it would be. Looks like a lot of time and effort has been placed into this mod and I wish the modder continued success and humbly offer my services as a unbiased tester.
Tinear, that looks VERY profesional. What a fantastic looking piece of kit! 
This (sub?)culture reminds me of when I was interested in flashlights, if people wanted better than the standard on offer they got off their asses and created better with their own ingenuity and creativity.

hey all! thanks for the positives and continued interest, i really appreciate it!
however i do ask ~ please presume nothing on my behalf.....
ok.
no, not really. it works flawlessly and has been the only PV that i've been using since i made it mid-June. the only changes have been switching to Titan atomizers from TW in leu of the Janty Dura'$ i was using, and upgrading the batt to a fully protected 18650.
i also did break the mouthpice and made a substitute from an old cart. just been too busy lately to bother to fab a new one.
believe me, i have motivation. just not the resources, ie: time and money.
hmmm... nope. not worried one bit.
you're absolutely right on that one... i haven't a clue as to how to mass produce these without any capital to invest or any investors with capital.
on this i will not comment.
well then, see? what you do know is exactly what i want you to know!
cheers!

Hi Tinear,
I've sent you a few PMs over a period of a few months precisely about this subject. Did you see them? If so, will you please PM me?
Dude....
First cut business plan:
1. Spend a weekend outlining and detailing a do-it-at-home kit. Full instructions, pics, gotchas, do's, don't's, etc...
2. Maybe (just maybe) you add the raw materials to that kit as well - worst case, web links and parts/volume/price list
3. Email 'hotline' for those of us with 10, NON-APPOSABLE THUMBS Allow us to send in pics you can check over and rag on us about
-OR-
DVD series.......oooooooooo, aaahhhhhhhhh
This thing just totally KICKS!

thanks for the update tinear, just ping this thread if and when..
also, i might be able to come up with some capital as well, either alone or with some others here. if interested PM me and we can see what we can pull together.

please forgive my indiscretion at not using a PM to reply as you asked, there is no disrespect intended. rather, i feel a response here is more appropriate.
yes, i saw and read them, and i thank you for your interest and concerns. my apologies that your PM's went unreplied. i haven't replied to the majority of PM's that i've received. i will try to compile a response soon. i'm just not the chatty sort, sorry.
my major problems are not concerning patents or marketing. it's not even production. h3ll, i've got 3 custom plastics manufacturers within a stones throw of my house, and i know pretty much how i would break down a unit into components that could be easily molded, produced, and assembled.
it's the start up costs that kill me. i don't have the thousands that it would take for an initial set-up. so i would be back to relying on hand fabrication, which is labor and time intensive, so much so that making these things by hand and then selling them at a reasonable market price would be a pool of red ink, even on the hobbiest level. i do fully intend to make a few more, as well as another design i'm working on. but i'm afraid that there will not be any mass production in the forseeable future.

if it's, say, 10 grand or so, i think i could swing it alone. heck maybe even 100 grand, though that would be stretching it. but don't be shy about hitting me with an estimate/proposal if you're so inclined.
@susan,
i appreciate your enthusiasm, really!
but, ummm... you might want to reconsider publicly posting that?

eh, it's not like i'm posting identifying info, and anyhoo i'm crazier than any home invader
unless it violates some forum rule or something, if so my apologies. but no worries and thanks for the advice..

susan,
hey, if you're comfortable with it, far be it from me. i just have concern with you maybe getting bombarded with PM's, and would feel bad if this thread led to that.
cheers!

TinEar,
If you won't get back to us when we PM you, how else are we to talk with you?
You've got my phone # and e-mail address and I'm sure Susan would give you her's.
We should talk privately. This feels like carrying on a business conference in Dolphin Stadium;-)
Hey Tin,
Your mod is definitely something I would pay a premium price to own. I don't know if you are taking names or have a list, but if you do, please put me on it.
