My biggest problem so far is vapor consistency. Sometimes I get great vapor, and other times I get crappy vapor. It seems to depend on a lot of things, but it is something they need to figure out. For example, I'm sure atomizer design has a long way to go. I'm sure they can come up with a design that kicks out monster vapor consistently and with less battery drain. I'm sure they can figure out a design that is either super easy to clean or doesn't need cleaning at all.
this is so not perfected

I'm currently a huge fan of the dura-c. As long as you keep the thing topped-up, vapor production is consistent with every single draw.
As for cleaning, I've got almost a month in on the original atomizer and I've done zero cleaning to it. I blew it out once about a week ago and that's it. I also drip directly onto the atomizer and it's still pumping out vapor like a champ.
The only downsides, and for me they're minor, is that the device is very juice-hungry, and the batteries only last me about three hours with heavy vaping. But all in all, it's a helluva device.
Can they be better? Sure can, I think. But there is a 'but' to getting too much better, and that's a psychological 'but' (and this goes for part of us, not all)... that's the 'tinkering around with them' part.
As we come from analogues, we need to shed a number of habits, a number of actions, a way of behaving. And that's HARD. When going to e-cigs, we wade into this deep valley filled with unknowns, with failings and ways to fix those, with tons of things we have to learn to do or not do. We are busy, as the 'pioneers', to find adjustments and better ways of doing things.
I'm convinced that all of these things that we 'wade' into when going e-cig, are very beneficial for us as to being able to shed all we need to shed when leaving behind tobacco. And when the days arrive that we will be getting one simple device with one tamperproof nicotine-holder inside it, with no need but also no possibility to mess around with making our own flavors, finding new ways of doing things, finding ways to repair what's going wrong or ways to stop repairs from coming... when those days arrive, I predict that the e-cig will become far less succesfull in converting people from analogs to vaping, compared to now (again: this is for part of the people; there is also a, I think smaller, part that will just sigh with relief and sit back all content with their generic all-the-same-unit with unreachable but also not needed to be touched parts and nicotine-holder).
Just my thoughts on it; but I don't think this aspect should be forgotten or discarded all too easily.

I had better start reading more of the modding section before the ban if there is indeed going to be one! Gotta keep my customers happy when I become a future drug dealer!!
Actually batter design is the holdback. That is why an SD performs so much better than a standard 901 even though both use the same atomizer. The battery on the SD delivers more consistent current for a longer period.........If you could solve the battery issue, performance would increase significantly across the board.
It's new tech. Problems are to be expected with cutting edge technologies. Does anyone else remember what it took to work or play with a personal computer in the mid-80s? I seem to recall a typical opinion that they'd never be something that non-technical people would ever need to be exposed to. After all this time computers still still aren't anywhere near perfected, but now regular people can and do deal with them on a daily basis.
The e-cig will progress if given half a chance. I think the majority of people will give that sigh of relief and the new devices will convert even more people, but not the same types of people. Many of us who are on the cutting edge now will probably continue to play around with the tech side as a hobby, playing around with mods and/or collector pieces.
