Over-the-counter?
No, I suppose that's got to be a brand name. I tend to shy away from such items when "pricey" is one of the terms used to describe them.
But the SF idea has definitely got the gears turning. Although I haven't been a buyer/user of tobacco products since 1988, I'm sure that other "smoke producing" products would suffice perfectly well, albiet without the vaporizer. And who knows, the car might even LIKE it.
Seriously though, what the "gears" have churned up with, is a very simple device that would go in-line with a compressed air line. And as long as I don't try to find out ANY information on how the SF device works or what it looks like, they can't sue me for patent infringement, if what I build ends up being very similar, correct. I just don't think that there could be very many variations on that particular idea (pieces of pipe, screw-on fittings, internal "butt" holder, etc).
Thanks for the responses. You could say that I have now received my instructions from "above"!
