Atomizers - Ultrasonic or Heating Element?

[gyrixx]

At the risk of NEVER using forums and having this thread removed...

Here's a summary of what I would like to explore.

The original design and patent for the "E-Cigarette" hinged around Ultrasonic Technology to vaporize our liquid and NOT a heating element.

Given the fact that this, in theory, (the design may be already in the market somewhere...) was the original intent, I find it hard to believe it's no-where to be found online.

Instead of constantly burning up elements in our "typical" atomizers, wouldn't it be MUCH nicer to employ ultrasonic technology to just vaporize our liquids w/ burning anything!!??

Just a thought.

Sorry moderators if this doesn't comply somehow.

gyrixx, no problem will move to Atomizer forum.

Ok, found the other thread in this forum discussing Ultrasonic vs. Heating Elements...
oops...

Ultrasonic mist would be somewhat cool, but as a way of feeding juice to the heater coil would be idea as it would allow a larger juice reservoir and avoid the need for dripping and cart topping.

Technically speaking, by using ultrasonic waves, we could bypass the need for any coils, and skip to mini-vile carts w/ thin membrane tops for the mist to escape from.

Thus increasing cart life exponentially.

you would basically be filling a hollow cart instead of using the saturated "stuffing."

The downside though is that mist feels cool rather than warm.

I suppose the only real down-side to this theoretical concept would be the increased fragility of our e-cigs given the nature of ultrasonic transducers themselves....

Not to mention the need for higer voltage / larger batteries... (I think this may have been mentioned somewhere else in this site forum.)

But, as it stands, I like the Janty Stick idea already...

And in keeping with the thought of not looking like I'm actually smoking a real cigarette, I suppose I could afford a somewhat "bulkier" PV design...

Think I'll order a sample ultrasonic x-ducer or 2 online and get some corresponding circuitry worked up to test my theory in a month or so...

Actually, utrasonics is far lower in power requirement.

Kinabloo,

You've done quite a bit of my intended research already it would seem.

I'm still reviewing your site right now...
