Atomizer failure - latest thoughts ...

You never know where the next innovation or idea will come from. I mean, look at HP -- the ink jet technology is now being re-purposed to be used as drug/medication delivery mechanism in patches. The small jets (?) or micro-needles that fire the ink liquid in inkjet can also fire drugs and with much better control and precission than what is currently available. Hewlett-Packard expects this to be huge for them, and I am sure it will be.

I've mentioned inkjet technogy for feeding juice the coil countless times, but it doesn't generate much interest. It would be idea though.

Bubblejet, in contrast, would be an alternative to the heater coil.

Both have great potential.
