Prodigy V1 Stand Up Dock Charger

[Mikie Likes It]

Has anyone thought about this idea?

I have a dock/charger for my blackberry that sits on my night stand. I was vaping late last night, and had my phone in one hand and Prodigy in the other. I went to put my phone in the dock, and put the Prodigy (attempted to) in the dock. Yeah, it didnt fit, but the idea sounds fantastic to me!

I am not technically (electronically) savvy, but does anyone know if this would work?

How convenient would that be to just set down your Prodigy in a dock to get charged. No more unscrewing the bottom, no more worrying about stripping the tube out. I would buy it in a new york second. I would actually try making one, if someone could give me some kind of direction summary.

Just a thought. Any feedback would be much appreciate. Thanks.

few drawbacks I see.

1. Would have to be specialized li-ion charger
2. Prodigy would have to be longer to accept the charging circuit
3. Prodigy would have to be bigger around for extra wiring
4. Not very smart to charge stacked batteries

Other than those reasons I would say feasible. After all there is 1 e-cig I know that charges while batteries are in it. But it runs on only 1 battery (see #4)

There's a new one coming out with a usb in the end but it's a honker (I think its made by the same people you refer to TDM).
I'm ok with changing them. Gives me the chance to inspect everything and do a quick wipe down and cleaning..

Nice idea though..

I saw a dock charger on TV that is just a plate. You can set anything that charges Li-Ion on the plate and it charges it.

I can't remember what it's called. I will google around and repost shortly.

It's $100 for the plate and $80 per device.
Each device has to have a special adapter so that the plate knows the exact mah to charge at.

Nice idea and concept. That technology will come around...

Small problem, but I think our modder friends could figure it out.

It's a mat. You plug it in. You put a "receiver" on the device your charging, place it on the mat and it charges it full, then shuts off.

The only thing is to modify a reciever adaptable to e-cig batteries.

So I issue the challenge to our modders !!!! Make it happen

that thing is badass. i think i might look into buying one. i would like to know how it would know an ecig battery is charged though, there is no onboard monitor in an ecig like an HTC phone, ipod, etc would have... i think it'd end up exploding it.

If you build it... They will come.

I would probably pay up to $200.00 for one, if it could be made.

As I said, I'm not very technically inclined but thank you guys for responding. These are the answers I was looking for.

So, from what I read, it is not a good idea to charge stacked batteries, and there is no way this can be done with the Prodigy V1. Correct?

Well, get started on the design.
