If I commissioned a machine shop to do it the switch will be the hard part. I would use one cheap off the shelf component, not ideal but ok. The cheap off the shelf component would be just use existing short cigalike batteries and treat them like a consumable part. It would have a tiny rebuildable atty similar to the Sophia but without the same juice flow and a very tiny steel tank.

The tiny rebuildable atty has been done in the Diver and the Sophia, the tank is just a section of threaded steel tube and would be very small, maybe .5 ml capacity. The user serviceable auto switch could be the real problem. There are plenty of auto switches to look at but they are of lower quality and designing one that was meant to be user serviceable might be hard for a one off.

I just realized this is easier than I thought if we accept a disposable part.

What is one of the problems with cigalikes? High quality atties.

The Sophia and Diver has shown that tiny atties can be done.

If a tiny Sophia or Diver type atty can be given a tiny .5ml tanks it does need a switch. It has a disposable switch. Just use a cigalike battery with automatic switch as a disposable component.

YES!

The eCab was cigarillo sized, kinda nice I thought, at least the size was for me.

Oh YES! I love and use it from the beginning and I have quite a lot of them - they are so small and light and uncomplicated. They have this minimal useful electronics of a Provape-1 but are much smaller. I use them when I am out and about, carrying a little pill box with 10400 batteries in my bag ...

The idea of having such a cutie made by Provape ... gorgeous.

I have been looking for the likes of it for a long time. There are at least two more 10440 mods out there besides the Super T (RIP) - but they are not that thin. One is the Titanide Themis, the other is the Slimdog. They are both heavy and bigger.

I bought a 510 adapter and used mini clearomizers on my eCab...that made it a little too (long) big though.
You too? :) We "beautified" the adapter by means of cutting a spare ecab atomizer body and putting that adapter into it, just for better looks ...

Maybe the market is not optimal for such a device just now, it being flooded by devices that look like and work as if the owners had to vape as much in as short a time as possible, like vaping in advance, to compensate for the upcoming regulation ... but this can change quickly.

KR808D-1 auto batteries are the most reliable, so I would suggest that you find someone to make you a 510 adapter for one of those, with a gore-tex filter that you can replace.

Gore-tex might work because it lets air, but not liquid pass through it. So would be a good choice to block the atty from leaking into the battery/switch section.

Whatever atty you attach will have to have the air supply come through the bottom of the 510 connection to activate the pressure switch.
