Yeah seriously. I'd like to have my hands on one of these Dan.

it looks like a mod in its own. i need a way to press "Like" more than once. i want one for sure!!!
Dan, that looks good!
Just one word of advice and I'm not sure it will make a significant difference, but if you chamfer the air intake hole at 45° on the sharp edge your fan will run a lot quieter and more efficient due to a decrease in pressure loss. The sharp edge where the air is draw into the hole will cause a significant pressure drop and a reduction in airflow efficiency. It will also make FRRRRRR noise...
Google "bell mouth entry".
Cheers,
Dan,
This will save you a lot of time "REVERSIBLE MINI COUNTERSINK R C 1 0 0 0" Look about 1/3 of the way down on this page.

Yes, I saw one in a 70's Cheech & Chong movie, think it was Up in Smoke?
Stacy Keach had a gun that blew (ahem) 'smoke' out of the barrel.
What's the status of this project? Just curious.

might want to change the fan to more of a pump type of of blade something that will cause more of a vacuum effect,something like a windshield washer pump or fish tank pump something that will have more static pressure otherwise regardless of what fan blade you use youll be unlikely to get much pressure.but great idea im subscribing to follow your progress!
Finding or making the right smallish pump/fan that puts out enough air pressure is the quandary.

I have recently made some smoke generators for a theatrical effect by using a Phoenix atomizer that I drilled a larger hole in the side to allow easier air-flow. However, with that kind of atomizer, you can only put a few drops into it.
I recently purchased an iclear. It is a clearomizer with a fairly easy draw compared to others. However, even the small squirrel-cage fan I tested was not enough power to do anything. So, I think an atomizer mod that has almost no air flow resistance is the way to go.
I don't have any experience taking apart clearomizers, since I don't want to trash the ones I have. Does anyone have a suggestion about one that can have its airflow dramatically increased?

maybe take a look at these little pumps some are as thin as pencils with 15psi not sure on cost tho or voltage tho i didnt get a chance to look that deeply into them.
jazon1, the micro pump you are linking to is a gear pump. These are not really suitable for pumping air. However, they may be great for pumping juice. But they don't seem to be low-cost devices. Also, a microprocessor would be needed to drive the thing.

The Madvapes' "Vortex Acrylic APV" seems to be a commercial "Air Powered Assist Module".

I'm "sure" Dan is being rewarded for his prior work. Just like all the other work he did.
BUT WE KNOW DAN.
anyone TRIED IT YET?
My sentiments exactly Charlie. On a side note, I haven't seen Dan around for a good while, hopefully it is just some summertime vacation.
