How about a variable rotating design something like a mini tooling collet. It would be able to grab any size atty by sticking the atty in and twisting the chuck to tighten it. Here is an example of collets;

Having copper coated mouthpieces would be good. The copper's ability to kill germs on its surface would reduce the need for sterilizing. Another would be a clear mouthpiece so you could see liquid levels and buildup. Having a rebuildable atty would be good too so you could get rebuild kits or have a recycling system.
From Steve's OP, I thought that thus contest was for the VK itself (2-piece battery and cart). However, since I've seen so many posts for associated products, I'm submitting an idea that I originally posted about in another thread back in October.
The Ultimate Ultimatum PCC: For me, the perfect PCC would...
-Have 2 usb ports: For charging other devices like cell phones while also charging a VK battery or vaping a passthrough when other power sources are not available. These usb ports could be placed on the end of the battery opposite of the cartomizer slots, and with cut-outs in the case on that side so that that the case can be opened or closed while using the passthrough/charging other devices).
-An extra battery slot: Placed next to the first battery slot, making the case longer from the hinge side but also longer on the cartomizer end to accommodate the extra length of a passthrough, an extra long battery, or short/regular batteries with a carto attached (with condom on). Some accommodation would also have to be made for the cord for the passthrough (the simplest being a small grove that would let you close the case and wrap the passthrough cord around the outside of the case... I leave more elegant solutions to the engineers since repeatedly wrapping and unwrapping thin cords is generally not a good idea... although the case may be large enough that it would not be an issue). At minimum, the case should be able to hold two extra long batteries, regular or short batteries with a carto attached, or any combinations thereof.
-2 slots which hold mini juice bottles: The PCC would come with a few empty mini bottles (~2ml) that would be about the size of a carto. You could order extra empties so that you don't have to mix different flavors or keep rinsing them out. The two mini bottles would fit in the area by the cartomizers created by the extra battery slot. A tool could also attach to the inside of the case for removing the cap from a carto.
-Would be powered by 4 rechargeable AA batteries: Instead of a built in battery that will eventually die, causing the entire case to have to be discarded, this PCC would use easy to remove and replace AA batteries. Like the current PCC, while charging the PCC, you would be able to charge a VK battery (and use the usb port to power a passthrough and/or power/charge other usb devices).
-Would come with a wall/AC adapter and a car adapter: So that you don't have to have a usb port to charge it. You can recharge the PCC and your rechargeable batteries on the go.
The case would have to be larger by about an inch or so lengthwise and widthwise (just guesstimating). However, in addition to every day use for those who don't mind the extra size, it would be ideal when traveling on extended trips or when you have to go longer periods where you can't conveniently recharge your PCC (you just replace the AAs) and/or your cartomizers run out of juice. With 2 cartos (more if you carry regular or short batteries with cartos attached), 2 batteries, 2 juice bottles, and the ability to replace drained batteries with extra pre-charged rechargeables you bring with you or (in emergencies) regular batteries, you are covered for just about anything. You could continue to take your smaller (the current) PCC with you for communting, shorter trips, etc., for times when you don't want to carry a bulkier PCC.
I see such a product being purchased by people who own other e-cigs (beyond from a VK or even other KR808D-1s), thus bring more customers to V4L.
