Too much time on my hands LOL

Best of both worlds:
It would seem to my simple mind that a system where an EGO charger and a removable battery could exist together can happen. If the device has all of the charging circuits in it and a removable cap with threads on the outside of the tube to minimize length, it could make most happy those who want the EGO type charge and those who like the change battery type. As a side effect the batteries could be replaced instead of disposing of the whole unit due to an aged or inoperative battery. So a slight environmental plus, along with the millions of cigarette butts not tossed on the ground. Just my two cents, (actual cash value may vary)

Or even if it could be sent back to notcigs for a replacement battery(for a fair price) once performance has faded, I know that isnt as good as being able to do it your self but better than just throwing it away. I am pretty excited about this for me and especially my wife who is still using her original ego clones from over a year and a half ago, she wouldnt be caught dead with the huge machines I tote around but this would be right up her ally. Though, I wouldnt mind having a smaller option as well.

I think this is a grat idea. At the cook out I was at everyone was askin questions but they all said it was to big. My friends mom is like 80 years old and small so something like this would be perfect. I would love to test one for a ya Mike (as long as no tools are involved lol)

Ok so I was up until 4;00 last night designing crap again ??? WTH is wrong with me ???

You're a workaholic, plain and simple

Anyhow the MAXXIS is a single battery 950mah boosted Ego size VV E-cig designed to be about $65 maybe ??? lol

What kind of voltage range do you have in mind?

Well the price is rising now ,. I am talking to some other companies about the tube ( biggest cost so far ) the range should be 3.3- 5.5 volts like the Buzz Pro

I don't care....your makin it.....I'm buyin it.

Not surprising really. Small runs are expensive. Im guessing thinner wall wont make much difference either as its still the same amount of machining to produce them.

Ill take quality over a few bucks in price.

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

I've thought about it, and I think it's a killer idea. If I could have got 3.3-5.5VDC out of the Riva kit I spent $60 for way back when, I might still be using it.

Carry a spare battery or two? I can do that.

I'm in and volunteer to beta

That's so self-sacrificing of you, RIMP, so pure and altruistic that I'm literally moved to tears; I'm so inspired, in fact, that I'm inclined to chivalry, to throw myself on the grenade and beta the thing in your place, giving up my body so to shield yours from harm.

Where do I sign up hero duty, Mike?

Calm down kids , this is behind the VVPV !

Its a good thing LMAO gotta space em out enough that I can convince the wife that I need another PV

Let me know how that goes so I can try the same tactics.

 

[Paddrino]

It's an epic fail on my wife.... Your mileage may vary...

 

[moorea]

I've heard this story before fom the hubby with guns... He has got a rifle to hunt with, a pistol, a shot gun, an AR15 and several others, so it seems to me he has all he needs... I got when he only had the pistol, as it seems you can't shoot a dear with a pistol! Yet he always has a "good reason" or shall I say sell as to why he needs another one. The best sell was when he was telling me how one he wanted would be good for home defense! Seems to me put a bullet in any of the ones he already has and pull the trigger, you can shoot an intruder... Don't even get me started on the bows and other stuff.

As far as PV's go, from a wifes point of view that is a harder sell as far as "need" goes. If you have one to use and one for back up that should be all you need. I think the best sell if you have more then two or three is to be honest and let them know how much you want it and how much you have saved not buying cigarettes. Just don't sell it as a "need."

 

[Ruppy]

Honestly my wife lets me do whatever I want as long as the bills are paid and the kids have what they need. Beyond that the most Ill get is the famous "your an idiot" look.

 

[mistinthewoods]

Just don't sell it as a "need."

Yeah, "need" doesn't have to enter into it. We have lots of stuff we don't "need". This is 'MERIKA dammit!

Damn straight.

And don't be telling us what we need or don't need. If you make us get out of our LazyBoy recliners, we will kick your ....

Dang, this is getting testy in here.

It is? I was just being sarcastic, as usual. Nothin' serious.

I was just kidding PI.
