i must have made a bad joke too , i was just kidding about not talking about it.
im talking about using magnet wire coils , as inductors. i have done it a little before , i just dont remember how to set up the pulse width and whatnot. that was 3 or 4 lifetimes ago...
its basically an open transformer. no need for plugs. at all. slide the end where the coil is , into the slot , and it just charges. sort of like the new phone pad charger station thingies, only its been around forever...im suprised we dont see it more.
it might be hella inefficient , but i found some small 30mah lipos , probably for a camera or micro rc car , but im thinking basically , i would have a charger that would be built into the base of a 12v car plug , so its flush , the coil would be inside there.
the battery would be on the end of a m401 or other exposed bridge type atty , which i was thinking of just using a mini jst connector for , and basically your ecig would be twice as long as an atomizer.
this is all dependant on how small the coil can get , for one , and for two , how easily i could replicate an auto battery.
i just get tired of a big heavy thing.
and when plugged into the car cig lighter , was thinking of having a small plexi ring around the edge light up to let you know charge status , but i was envisioning the coil down at the bottom of the plug and the electronics around the tube , and basically the whole battery would fit in the cig lighter while its charging.
you could pull your cap and drip while charging , or use a drip tip and just let it hang in your mouth.
judging by everything i have calc'd , the average draw only uses 5mah worth of power (if mah ratings are anything to go by..
) . so a 20 or 30 mah battery on a 2ohm should last a little longer than 4 or 6 puffs , but for the 1 minute (literally) that the recharge is , its worth it to me , to let it cool off and wick and whatnot...
of course there would be a rush for cheap camera or tiny rc cars , and the price would skyrocket , so just ignore everyting up there ^^^
