Here is my idea for cases.....I'm pretty sure the inserts are pretty cheap and easy to make...I was thinking it would be a good idea to sell different inserts for them and make them easy to swap out(velcro maybe) but there could be different designs like an insert for just carrying a bunch of carts, one with 4 long slots for batteries, one with one battery slot and fill the rest of the room up with slots for carts etc. etc. Or maybe make it so the inserts can be stacked together in the case so you could have multiple levels in the case(one level full of carts and the top level for a few batteries.):D

Yes I also thought that would be cool. PCC on one half, "wall" with clips on the hing, batt with lined up carts on other half. They could incorperate a larger lipo (more charges) in the PCC side as there is room for 8-9 carts on the other, so no need for carts on PCC side.

Go all weekend!

V4L contest #2

We are going to create the Ultimate VK which will work with All atomizers, but, especially our Cartomizer. I already own most all of em, and still, only use em for play.

We NEED to create the ULTIMATE Mod, which will work for EVERYTHING:lol:

Let's hear, and see, whatcha got to say




This is VERY serious, and we really want Fabulous concepts, so Leaford can have these made in the 1st part, of the New Year:lol:

Enjoy

Steve, and your V4L Family:cool:

Bump and trying to get this thread back on topic.

I think the contest is to see what we (consumer) would like to see in a new device such as the Chuck, Silver Bullt, the BB, the GG...Batery mod ideas are what they are looking for (corect me if I am wrong).

I apollogise for getting caught up with posts about moddding the the case and such.

Well for sure it needs to hold a very large capacity batt.

I would like to see:

A large side button for thumb or index finer use.

A round or ovalish body.

"BIG ONE HERE" A way to charge it built right into the body and passthru use.

A nice poket case (similar to a case for sunglass's) that can hold it assembled and a some carts.

ive seen lots of people talking about a battery indicator for charge life. what if: remember those Duracels that had the little strip on it that when you push the 2 ends it makes a little yellow bar on it. that might be a cheap and non battery draining way to go. that way you dont have to use the energy of the batt to light a LED.

Because I think that the VK is probably the best thing going, and I have no desire to vape a device as large as one inch in diameter (let alone larger), I think that the only improvement would be to add a USB Type C* to the side of the VK. This would allow for easier charging and replace the Passthrough altogether. It would also be nice to have a battery indicator to tell you when you're getting low, but I think the USB C would be a game changer. once that's implemented succesfully, you could then ove on to some of the more advanced tracking and software mods.

*USB Type C is the small common charger used with blackberry/motorola RAZR/PDA charger's

Aslo if not a case..some kind of cap to keep the cart conetion safe and keep posible juice leaks avoided when in my pocket.

So first off, the whole point of you guys making these adapters imo would be for use with an atomizer that can be easily refilled or used for dripping. To make the adapters you would simply have the thread for the vk bat on one end and the inside thread to the other, and they do have these on other sites I do believe like the vk to 510 adapter.

But I don't believe these are the way to go, i think that a 501 adapter would make sense, but in my honest opinion you guys would be better off making an AMAZING refillable atomizer/cartrige. Do what the 501 atomizer does and better. ;]
-supply extra filling
-find a material similar to the pyramid tea bag mod(PTB mod)
-mouthpiece that can hold a bit more juice than normal

Anything about it you can find that needs improved on AND WE CAN BET that leaford will ;D Hey, i'm saying if your putting effort into adapters why not continue being THE BEST and create an original refillable cart/atomizer sporting the v4l aesthetics and design that we love? :] I mean, you guys have great e-liquids, and what better way to showcase them than to have an even more accessible way to put them to use?

This is my 2 cents, and no matter what you guys decide to do I know it will be great :] Cheers and happy vaping!

One thing I would love to see on an e-cig is the use of rechargeable AA batteries (they could be recharged while in the e-cig battery holder or on an external charger). The current disposable batteries are VERY unfriendly to the environment and needlessly expensive since even the good ones fail so easily. Also, an indicator of the remaining battery power would be fantastic... you would never have to guess when to charge it or if you have enough juice to make it work or wherever you are going. Next, I'd like to see the option to have a white indicator light at the end of the battery, current colors (e.g., red, green, orange) just look dorky. Maybe the indicator lights could be user replaceable... you can order your preferred light color and/or change them as you desire. We definitely need cartos that can be refilled much more often before they die, and they should be longer to hold more juice for fewer refills. It would be nice to be able to recharge the battery without having to take off the carto and to have cartos that don't leak even if you mistakingly draw too hard on them. Having cartos that don't leak when you refill them would be a big improvement too. If I could get all of this in a V4L Vapor King, I'd be in hog heaven.

12-15-2009 ETA: making the white center tube inside the carto longer may help prevent leaking on the battery end when refilling. When refilling, it should be possible to remove the caps off of the carto without needing a tool. Maybe you could sell an adapter tip that is indented on both sides so that folks can grip it with their teeth/hold the VK with just their mouths if they prefer. It would be great if the end of the battery with the threads for the carto were made of a metal that is corrosion resistant incase juice leaks out of the carto.

I would like to see a usb adaptor for use with any of the batteries. It would function exaclty like a PT AND charge your battery so you could unplug and go when necessary.

Now I know this may sound stupid, but I would like a beeper on mine. I just started vaping less than a week ago, but last night gave me a scare.

I know other people have to be like me, and I fall under the category of I get distracted and randomly place objects in odd places around the house. So last night I was getting a glass of milk for my daughter, and lo and behold, I placed one of my Blu attys and batteries on top of the fridge. Lost it for a solid 2 hours.

So what I was thinking is have something like cordless phones have where you can push a button and it beeps at you, so you can find where your dumb@** put it. I have been smoke free since last Sunday, and was really worried about trying to make it with only 1 battery and atty.

Also now that I have a Blu, I would really like something that holds more juice, or maybe you could have a cart with no batting and a manual button for dripping the right amount on an atty(manual so it doesn't flood) to please the DIYers out there.

Well I don't see a edit button sorry, am a noob here, but I forgot to add that the other part that you push to find your PV, I would love for it to be magnetic so I could attach it to the fridge or something. That was in case I leave it in the fridge( I think I have a subconscious fetish to push weird objects that don't belong there inside the fridge) I can still hear it :D

Actually, I've always thought interchangable LEDs would be nice. Could even incorporated that MiniUSB charging plug into it and use the LEDs as a cap. So when charging, you take off your LED, and plug up the battery (or use as a pass through), and when you are on the go, screw on an LED to cover up the charge slot (and change out LED colors as you want).
 
Well with all the things said already I don't know if it would be new or groundbreaking but here is what I thought of when I pondered on what a V4L mod would look like and include. I figure make it flexible yet simple.

It needs a voltage switch
It needs the option to plug it in (passthrough and/or charging)
It needs to be able to accept all atomizers/cartamizers
It needs to be able to be customized
It needs to be able to accept any battery of a specific size (for ease of replacement)
It needs to feel nice in the hand

Here is a sketch

I'd like to see a cartomizer refill kit. It would be a small box where you could store and refill cartomizers with cotton or cloth pads to clean up drips, a "pick" to open up and refill cartomizers easily(I'm using a nutmeat picker now which works great but a little big but snaps off the cap easily), a tray with holes the cartomizers could stand upright in to be filled and then left to absorb the eliquid maybe small tweezers to put the cap back on,some filler material and room for some small eliquid refill bottles. Basically an all in one kit for refilling cartomizers,

Also (in retrospect now) I wish there had been an ultimate "newbie" kit when I started vaping. This would be the batteries, a passthrough and cartomizers and a refill kit for the cartmizers.I I think the passthrough is a necessity when you first start.but I didn't know that when I started. (The cartomizers are a much better choice for newbies than atomizers).
