My mother was the inspiration behind this. A two pack a day smoker her entire adult life; I watched her struggle time and again to quit. Several months ago, she discovered the e-cig and it changed her life and she has now been analog free for going on five weeks!
Having loved to fabricate my entire life and watching her deal with poor quality parts that fail in short order, I could not resist putting myself to work creating her a truly unique, beautiful and most importantly functional and dependable e cig with many features not found on most other e cigs. Right now im running a 3.7v CR123 style battery in it and I am thinking of trying a 5/6 volt set up.
Features-
1. Adjustable Air flow (simply turn the set screw to adjust) so that she can adjust the draw to her liking.
2. Completely mechanical, no solder, no electronics.
3. Locking switch, prevents it from turning on when in pocket, simply twist to lock.
4. 3 machined safety vent ports. Though highly unlikely, it allows venting should the battery explode, thus helping to keep the body from fragmenting. Vents are machined at a 30 degree angle to help vent any gases away from the eyes. (i added these after reading the post about batteries exploding...though unlikely, I know the peace of mind is irreplaceable, not to mention your eyesight)
5. All machined aluminum and brass.
6. Billet Machined Button with replaceable contact. Can not fail.
7. Knurled front cap for grip.
8. No rear cap for simplicity.
9. Rear machined grooves for grip.
10. Battery chamber sealed from atomizer, thus no sucking in of any battery gases.
Many of the features I incorporated into this came from the modders forum so I hope you enjoy it and it gives you some new ideas with which to make your own mods!

. I wish our manufacturers would take a good long look at these designs - they are getting great.
