Well, I say the guy who will make big money is the one who makes a big pipe battery body for the LTv9 type cartridges. Give them a battery that lasts as long as the cartridges.
two second conversion job leaford.. the SD is a "big battery" for whatever gets stuck on the end of it..
plus until someone invents some new battery technology batteries that fit in small cigarette sized tubes.. e cig batteries are not going to last long.. its just like trying to use a car battery in a truck or a motor bike battery in a car...
the world is crying out for smaller more powerfull batteries.. zillions would be made by anybody who comes up with one..
wishing for the impossible aint of much value.. just science fiction dreams..
the chinese sell us what they think we want.. electronic cigarettes that are the same size as real cigarettes.. which is the one simple reason the 901 has useless batteries.. the thread starter kinda makes this point pretty strongly..
ruyan came up with a clever product aimed at an occasional use relatively rich market.. what i would call "social smoking" its been copied and picked up by others..
and miss sold to the world as a full time alternative to tobacco.. its not really up to the job...it was never intended to be..
the SD simply dosnt follow the must look like a tobacco product theme.. its original and dosnt follow the path set by ruyan.. its simple an e smoking device that works.. it was built for our own use.. its now being sold to others..
its expensive to buy up front but cheap to run.. this was part of the plan.. long term even life long e smoking.. as yet.. used for this purpose it has no equal..
the SD takes 901 atomizers for one simple reason.. we think that overall they are the best all round option... they work reasonably well.. they are cheap and easy to obtain.. they are well suited for fluid top up type usage.. if something comes along that we think does a better overall job.. the SD will be altered to take it..
we could also make a smaller SD.. but with battery technology as it is.. with think the size it is.. is the best size for the purpose its intended to be used for.. long term economical e smoking..
our original idea was simply to offer it as a portable power supply.. not a full smoking kit.. but practicalities set in and it now comes as it comes.. a full smoking kit..
we are about to offer it as a combined Classic and 901 atomizer device.. amd make converters available..
one basic SD body... in black or silver.. two silver atomizers of each type with a dual charger and four batteries.. converter plus carts and liquid..
in this form it will be called the "Ultimate" SD kit.. we think it will be the world best long term heavy usage e smoking device..
and it will be even more expensive to buy up front.. part of what is bought is good user instructions and a full help and support forum.. u dont just buy the hardware.. u buy our knowledge and help..
its not intended to be a mass market product and probably never will be..
as yet we dont have the odd chinese factory or two at our disposal.. we would like to have but we dont.. he he
