Salutations everyone,
Just a tought... Right now e-Cig junctions only provide 2 electrically conductive paths: the body + a center pin. That's it, 1 pair which is reserved exclusively for the heater contacts.
So, without a sensor such as an electronic detector or a thermocouple there obviously can't be any real temperature regulation and hence customers are only being offered power control at best, but...
Watch out!! An emerging product appears to have opened the door to some potential innovation lately:
In lack of detailed information i can only infer that the translucent cylindrical body (near the lower-right side of the heater coil) captures a fraction of its orange glow to feed it to electronic circuitry. This heater looks pretty much like that of a Snopp Dogg (e-Cig fashion) vaporizer:
So, i figure if it's possible to capture and guide some of that orange light through a piece of glass used for the screw-base then we'd have 2 junctions in 1: the already well known electrical part and a new optical path to close the feed-back loop of a genuine type of heat controler... Hopefully thermostatic for all practical purposes, yet in a "Pen" format!
This would preserve the convenient air-tight cannabis path(s) containment keeping away potential contaminants from electronic hardware down below, whatever.
...
Now, one would think that dim orange glow might be too faint so what about halogen-based dry flower e-Cig shaped units - since it appears a layer of glass is required anyway?...
ADDENDUM:
The simple addition of colour filters would allow multiple optical signals to be transfered simultaneouly through a very same light conduit... This means while using some heat source as bright as a halogen bulb it becomes a viable idea to plan for a cannabic bowl scan, in order to determine vapour thickness and hence ultimately reduce (or even turn off) the heater, to prevent the risk of chocking from a toke which would have proved to be too thick anyway.
One single translucent annular piece of heat-resistant material on top of the electronics section should easily handle such a task of optical coupling. While i consider more stress will come from the oven side, because of intense heat, it seems to me the light guide requires nothing more than a glass rod or equivalent and yet that will still align properly with its annular counterpart. Split it using colour filtering and you get an additional probe to sample light through the cannabic vapour, from the other side of the vaporisation chamber, above the oven where an halogen heater element resides - e.g. this would provide a thickness-monitoring signal in addition to the reference one below the heater.
Briefly put variations in cloud density should translate as light modulations that can be isolated using a pair of detection points coupled to 3 or 4 colour-specific sensors i guess. So, imagine a pen that won't combust dry cannabis and which we can't even choke on! Just don't ask me what year though...
