To vape or not to vape that is the question.

Also like taking apart old Vapes and trying to get them to work with other brand vape pods. I'm currently working on a universal vape. So that I can use all these old moti pods. My wife likes them a lot.
You’ll be interested in the 510 connector then. This was the original problem with ecigs. The ultimate evolution of that path iS the top fill RTA which uses non proprietary everything. Basically the 510 was the connector for the Blu. They screwed up their patent application though and anyone could use it. It wasn’t the best connector out at the time, but it was decent, strong, and it took higher power well so it became the standard. Its like usbC beating lightning. UsbC is basically a bad rip of lightning. Its sort of inside out lightning and does more or less the same thing, but is more complicated to make and harder to clean. But USBC is not proprietary, so It got iterated on and made faster, whereas lightning didn’t. So now lightning is worse and apple is annoyed because lightning arguably IS better. Lightning is gonna die though.

I would suggest as mentioned focus on the 510 idea, adapters that fit pods to mods, or smaller pods to larger pod kits as far making all pods mod universal I feel you going to be a challenge as so many devices,

Must say I love your vision tho

I like the idea, but for me, I live in a horrible state, I can buy all the cigs I want, I can buy $40, 100ml bottles of vape juice but can not order anything online. So I ordered a new vape and new RTA from china. I bought a bunch of mesh and a bunch of cotton, this way I can rebuild the important part and now just need to figure out how to obtain ni otine and flavoring, So I can make my own juice.

If I was I would check buy flavour eliquid concentrate, bottles of propelyne glycol and vegetable glycerine and look for some local DIY online and see how they source there nic

With DIY Juice Theres a way to reduce that if you want. When i was vaping 20 mg/ml I would mix 100ml bottles that cost me about $7. These days less because i only vape 0 now. I titrated off nicotine. That is also easier with DIY.
