There are two basic commodity items in every e-cig: the battery and
atomizer. However, strip away these 2 basic functional parts and you
can build a device that houses and delivers the functionality that could, if
engineered to the rigours that would be necessary, last a lifetime. This was
our basic goal. We must state the contribution of the Screwdriver. Not just
in the design concept it helped define, but also directly in the Odyssey™.
Matt Rogers’ contribution must be recognised here. At Totally Wicked, we
hold both Matt and Ted Rogers as friends of the company, and it was Matt
and Ted who co-designed the Screwdriver, which Totally Wicked has been
proud to offer internationally since its launch.
The Odyssey™ in concept is based upon a design Matt developed which
was referred to during design development as the ‘SD Slim’. It was an SD
with a 14500 battery and a Tornado T atomizer connection. Conceptually
the SD Slim required refinement if it were to deliver the product we
intended. Our initial plan was to redesign by developing the switch control
mechanism and atomizer connector and offer for sale with a Tornado
eGo-C atomizer. However, as the design matured we realised our design
‘touchstone’ of ‘retention of maximum value’ was not being held to.
We had also recently procured our range of DCTs and realised that not only
did our customers seem to like them, they could also offer the atomizer
and fluid delivery system concept to our new product. We would need to
