I wonder how the 510 became the standard when ego connections seem sturdier.

For one thing, if you have a 510 threaded mech mod, you can screw on a 510 threaded prefilled cartomizer flavor.
From there, building a tank that uses the same 510 thread is a natural evolution.

It wouldn't surprise me if a 22mm thread for tanks eventually becomes a standard.

An 18350 sized battery with the capacity of a 18650. Heck... Make it equivalent to the capacity of a 26650 :D

A truly leak proof atty with a Pyrex tank.

A VV/VW device with a memory chip that allows you to save the settings for a particular setup. So changing a tank would mean screwing on the new tank and a quick click to the saved setting.

1) A connection standard based on the 22mm tube much like the "hybrid" connectors. But make a STANDARD.
2) Inductive charging mod.... place on stand and the battery charges.. no wires, no taking the battery out.
3) a VV/VW mod with a screen that can be adjusted with a computer program. The Evic Supreme comes close, but I want more customizations.
4) Perfect RBA...squape is close.... but, I want the following changes: refillable screw on bottom, airflow control to the side, better looking tank windows.
5) A LED module that fits in a 510 connector that will fit flush on a mod. "Sorry FDA, this isn't a new ecig mod, it's a flashlight... if people vape with it... that's their decision"


How's that sound?

Move away from the 510 connection. There must be something better, more efficient. And more stable... We've got these big mods and tanks and we're connecting them with a skinny little 510? Really?

Adjustable airflow. Aside from manufacturing costs, I can't see any reason why everything doesn't have adjustable airflow. It should be standard.

Also, floating/adjustable connection pins. If the MVP 2 had a floating pin... what a world this could be.

Good luck with battery capacity, that's been asked for years else you wouldn't have 18650's. Standard pyrex tanks instead of plastic option would be great and memory for setup are excellent ideas, though.

1) We should not even need to ask for a single standard connection... the engineers should have come up with that by now, but we're now asking!
2) Inductive charging already exists... maybe we should ask Duracell to support lithium-ion batteries.
3) Computer programmable interface is one thing that was tried in the flashlight world. Only one model, though, but e cigs offer so many more things to program... great one!
4)Agreed, but how about different side window styles? How about a standard mid-section we could just choose from whichever manufacturer to get the exact look we want?
5)I'm soooo glad I didn't have to mention a flashlight head myself - I was afraid I would sound too weird

Sounds like all excellent ideas to date. Just what I was hoping for :)

I agree the 510 connection is definitely not solid at all... it almost had me step back from buying a Provari!

With an improved standard connection, we shouldn't need the adjustable center pin. BUT... we would need adapters so we don't have to throw away all the hardware we have, so those adapters should have an adjustable pin.

Standard airflow control... with standard SIDE intake!

How about standard threading on all parts so we can mix/match whatever we like? (the flashlight term is "legoable" as in Lego pieces)

Inductive charging already exists... but I wouldn't expect to see it in mods. Cruise control exists for your car, but putting it on a NASCAR racecar might not be the best idea....:laugh:

I much prefer a charger that has a direct connection to my batteries and can exactly monitor their condition, voltage, temperature throughout the charging cycle. There's a lot of stored power in a very small package.

:lol: tea cup holder in your NASCAR... why not?

Good point. Personally, I got a mod because I wanted standard batteries I can get any online battery place and don't need to put my mod down and watch it charge while I'm biting my nails. I'm not a passthrough kind of guy... makes me feel tethered.

A "glow plug" style atty that needs no wick, just a tube that delivers a preset amount of juice onto it and immediately vaporizes. Also a remote controlled battery pack, with a 20 miles range. This way I can wont have such heavy device and the battery pack can have 100,000,000 mah and be left out in the middle of my backyard.....just in case it decides to explode.:D

When a question is asked such as this one, the imaginations will run!:laugh:

I'd settle for a bottom button that doesn't stick and isn't rough and notchy. The lanyard attachment is a good idea, I had that with my Sigelei 24, but it suffered from chronic button issues, so I got a Nemesis, and now that has button issues too. Overall I'd say what I want most in my next mech is a button that doesn't have issues and works every time the way it should.

How about some sort of chirping chip that can be activated with a phone call, or through the internet, that I can activate and help me find the mod? All too often, I catch myself wandering around the house looking for my current mod cause I can't remember where I left it!

Saw something like this on a Facebook ad. Was called "Tiles." You attached it to things like keys, etc and activated it through you cell phone to set off the chirping.

Inductive charging already exists, but the power level is too low -milliwatt - and unlikely to increase- radio waves- radiation.
If you could transmit power wirelessly (through the air) at the hundred watt level in the home, we wouldn't need all those wires.

YEs; interchangeable control heads; between the battery tube and the topcap/tank-interface - maybe you buy a cheap PWM control head to start off with, then later on you ungrade to a better control head with big screen and more buttons.
