For this ? 1.6 ml capacity , Ldpe bottle ( soft plastic ) 901 tip that replaces the standard tip/cartridge.
What would you pay ??

Depends on many things-
functionaliy- does it wick well to last drop is a major- leaks at all during travel and one not paying attention to it's position-reusable?
Current carts that I buy now max price are usually 5 for 1.99 filled.
Yours not knowing anything ummm buying unfilled ummm I'd probably try um at 5 for 12.99 delivered. Most people would probably spend more is my guess.
This girls likes her pennies to double up

The Idea is to have an Autofill in a small package , the design is that the red area is a small bottle that feeds the cart thru a hole in the side of the cart , pressing the bottle will feed the cart stuffing .
It is sealed but it might feed the stuffing at the wrong angle ?? unknown , I'm sure a small valve could be fitted in the hole to prevent this ,
As far as to the LAST drop there would always be residule liquid in the bottle ( how much is unknown ? ) but @ 1.6ml thats maybe a 1/2 day supply and you could carry a spare for all day ( this would vary depending on the vaper !)
As far as cost it would not be real cheap , the cost to make the molds for a product like this is HIGH ! , and the sales would be low so !
Anyho just looking for feedback about something like this THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW this is a refillable design !

If it worked it would be awesome. i would pay quite a bit for it, as long as it worked and was refilible.
Get rid of the goofy cartoon colors, have a great wicking capability and a "tight" fit on a 510 atomizer, and I'd be interested !!

They will only come in HOT PINK !! , and they are refillable .
The sizes is a problem , the molds for each size are VERY expensive so a large $ outlay would be needed , at this point I see no real interest beyond "thats cool" so ??? nice idea not practical in this market yet.

I think very practical, actually...the real question is how much will you sell me a prototype for...or are you looking for a tester/reviewer?
You keep saying VERY expensive. What range? Would it be serviceable or would it cost a lot for a new atty etc? If I ever find the perfect mod or model I would be willing to pay pretty well for it. It was also be a big bonus to have it made somewhere with good business practices and quality control(read: not China).
Lets put it this way if 10 people bought it they would cost $350 each !! for 1 size ! , Rapid prototyping is the only way to effectively make a prototype and that is VERY expensive as well.
They would have to have a BIG market to be profitable
PS: If they were made in the USA they would be $1250 each !!

Couldn't you use a 3D printer to make the prototype and make the molds off that? I know having something "made" with a 3D printer is reasonable (couple hundred dollars versus the thousands it used to cost).
I'm not in the mechanical field nor have I ever manufacturered a product so I'm probably not thinking of a lot of steps but just thought I'd throw it out there as something worth looking into?

You would also need a check valve to allow air into the bottle to replace the fluid, otherwise when you squeeze the bottle and release it the fluid would get sucked back in to the bottle. Also if the bottle changes temperature you will have flow of juice. My 2 cents...
Rapid prototyping can use several forms 3d printer is one , you cannot make a mold from them that I know of , for injection molding the molds are machined billet stainless steel ( normally ) this is where the cost is
so for 901 , 801 , 510 etc. etc. etc. each one needs its own mold !! $12,000 or so !!
PS: I was looking into the check valve like Scottbee made

If it was the end all be all of personal vapping accessories then I'd be interested at that price...but I would definitely wait until it was well proven. Have you tried looking for a sponsor? There's a lot of money to be made in this industry and if there is a design idea that could be the latest-greatest PV I would think suppliers would be tripping over each other for exclusive rights to it?
yeah molds are expensive.. i worked with some that where very simple molds that cost around 20,000
you should patent it then submit it to companies.. have them make it for you and take percentage or sell the patent to it..
Great Idea dude... glad to see a lot of "thinkers" on ECF. One problem I see is the delivery method. Like some mentioned above, its going to cause leakage. *lol* There needs to be some kind of pumping valve or measuring system. Most of the time when you top off, at least for the 901, its about 4-8 drops. If you can get a system that just implements 2-3 drops every time the device is activated, you would have a killer product. Anything more than that and it will be a dud. I can see these selling for around $5 each or like $15 for a 5 pack.

I could see paying around $30-$40 for a well made auto dripper thingy. If its all plastic, i'd say $15-$20.
Tinear makes some COOL stuff , all hand made ??
how the hell does he do that ?
Must be a sculptor ?
