Electric Cigar
Much like the e-cigarette, but with a little something extra | |
(No "cigar" category, so this will have to do.)
Some time before electronic cigarettes hit the market widely, I posted
an
Idea here about that (linked). It now occurs to me that I missed
something, which really can't be properly resolved in the small-
diameter
format of an electric/electronic
cigarette.
Obviously the thing is battery powered. The batteries for e-cigs have to
be somewhat special, because only a non-standard size will fit inside
them. They might also be recharge-able, which merely makes them
more
expensive to replace, when you have to replace them (and you will;
recharge-able batteries never really last a long time).
So, if we had an electric/electronic cigar, it would be wider-diameter,
and could hold ordinary batteries, such as the AAA type, maybe even
the AA type. Even if you got
recharge-able AAA or AA batteries, they would still cost less than the
current specially-sized ones used in e-cigs.
The rest of the features of an e-cigar would be pretty much the same as
an e-cig, only of course the containers of dissolved nicotine could be
bigger, and so it would last longer between refills.

I think somebody's beat you to it. My neighbor was over the other night, and he was using the top of the line vapor dispenser, which is the size of a large cigar, held a battery bigger than AA, and produced clouds of vapor. |
|
| |
Granted it was not brown and leathery, and did require recharging. I suspect that AA would die young in the application. |
|
| |
My link does not say what size battery it takes. |
|
| |
But that with a different battery doesn't sound like much of an idea to me. |
|
| |
Nor am I convinced the different battery would be better. |
|
| |
AA battery probably fits here anyway. |
|
| |
Yes, as [normzone] and [zeno] have outpointed, e-
cigars are widely available and fairly wkte. |
|
| |
Now a clockwork cigar would be more innovative. |
|
| |
That, if I may say so, is an excellent idea. |
|
| |
E-cigarettes (I've never tried an e-cigar) are all well
and dandy, but they lack a certain degree of
interaction. |
|
| |
The batteries are only needed to heat the fluid and
make the vapour. One could, therefore, create a
clockwork e-cigar that used friction to provide the
necessary heating. |
