He invented the ecig. vaping has been around since at least the early 90's & more probably the late 80's. My ex-bf was friends with some people who were modding flashlights back then & we talked about doing it. Tthe ecig is only about 12 years old. The process is much older.

How about turning a piece of trash mech into a flashlight? It is in a safe place, easily available in an emergency. I just trashcanned my piece of trash flashlight in favor of the new reliable.

History. The earliest e-cigarette can be traced to American Herbert A. Gilbert, who in 1963 patented "a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette" that involved "replacing burning tobacco and paper with heated, moist, flavored air". This device produced flavored steam without nicotine. The patent was granted in 1965.

I like the way you think. I heard he died some years back, or I'd tell ya where to find him lol Nawwwwww wouldn't really, but the though is intriguing.

Hahahahaha! Southern Justice, Darlin'... we don't call the po-lease 'round these parts.

I think they have a sorting center in N Houston.

That would make sense. Sometimes we get deliveries in record time... sometimes, not so much.

So how did vaping start? I read where some of the first devices were modified fladhlights but how did someome figure how to do that?

By the time I started vaping almost two years ago now there were lots on the market yo choose from.

Looks like your question has pretty much been covered, but I can tell you that when I started around 7 1/2 years ago, there wasn't much variety in the available options. And even the little cig-a-likes were pretty darned expensive. Two years ago was a great time to start vaping... now would be a wonderful time, too... except for the FDA trying to squash everything.

A Chinese chemist named Hon Lik invented it because he really wanted to quit smoking. I had to look up his name. Here's a good article about him
The inventor of vaping

But yes, that's where the name MOD really came from and really means. Something that you have modified to be a PV. The first ones or at least very early ones were made from flashlights. Also another kind of box that I don't recall the name of, that folks made from parts from a hardware and electronics store, or maybe just hardware.

I still have a little box like that. I made it from parts that I got at Radio Shak, and some salvaged parts from an old cig-a-like. I'd run cartos off of 4 AA batteries for days! Nothin' like pushing 6v through a 2Ω coil in a carto!

I'll have to dig around in my ancient vape drawer to see if I can find it so I can post a pic or two. I refuse to get rid of it, that was the first mod that I ever made.

I had to look, cuz somewhere I had saved directions on how to make one, but couldn't find it. I can't remember what they're called, but seems like maybe it started with a P. Not sure though. I'll know it when I hear it

You're talking about a "Puck Mod". I didn't find out about those until at least two years after I made mine... LOL. His were a little different, though. And he actually put out a tutorial on how to build them. Smart guy, he shall forever be remembered in the Annals of Vaping History.

Jup! That wuz it! that's kewl you made one before those came out.

I don't know when it was that he came out with them. He may very well have done it before I did. I just didn't know that it was a thing when I made mine. I just got tired of charging them l'il cig-a-like batteries, so I made something that had batteries that I could swap out. AA batteries seemed like a good choice, because they are easily available and could handle the current limit of a high resistance coil. I could vape that thing for a week straight without replacing the batteries... I think that's what finally got me completely off the stinkies. I was finally satisfied with my vape.

Here's one version, Altoids

I made one of those once just to see if I could.

Makin a mod doesn't sound all that complicated. However, making a tank before tanks were available... Then again, I would assume they were all drippers.

 

[2legsshrt]

Lol! They know me there, if they ask for id there's no telling what will happen! It's gonna be a fresh dose of a bunch of steroids kinda day!

Oh no , Kenna picking up her vape mail

 

[Kenna]

Hopin ya don't have too many issues with the roids hun!

Well, since the aggrevation started as soon as I got to the Dr it's not looking good for today at all. Co pays h 4 sticks later, they can install a port or I'm not doing this anymore.

 

[Kenna]

didn't know any of it had been around that long. How were they vaporizing the nic then? Did they use juice or something else? That's interesting

I don't remember what he told me. It was around '92 or '93. He knew about it & told me.

Yeah there was a run on those flow through teabags and aquarium filter

 

[ckquatt]

First tank I ever remember seeing was a carto tank made out of a syringe tube and a cig alike carto!

I've got vape mail today. 2 packages. I don't have my mink oil yet to treat my mods.

How'd it turn out? I always thought about making one out of various boxes and whatnot, but just stuck with the 4-bay AA battery pack from Radio Shak. It already had a built in on/off switch. All I had to do was drill a hole for the 510 connection and epoxy it in, and solder in some higher quality wire. What can I say... it worked, and I'm lazy.
