Inkjet E-Juice Dispenser ?

I've searched and searched, and I can't actually find anywhere to buy inkjet/bubblejet or piezoelectric pumps.
Oh, there are plenty of places that will put you in touch for quotes with someone in China or Eastern Europe, but none of them actually returned my requests. Guess they want you to order a few thousand at a time- I asked about ordering 100 or so and nothing.
It's been discussed a few times- if you can find a dosing reservoir that hold a couple of milliliters (and doesn't require a cabinet full of compressors), you'll have people jumping up to make it work.

After posting this, I saw where others had brought up the idea. I may go out and buy an inket cartridge with a built in print head, or scavange an empty one from someone, rinse it clean with solvent, setup a test, and inject some ejuice into it, apply some voltage, and see what happens.
If and when I do, i'll post the results.

I am just trying to help out but this is a waste of time unless you are just doing this for fun. The reason is that it is a waste of battery power. You can hand pump juice to the atomizer with practically no effort.
Like I said, if its just for fun .. mod on.

Of course you can hand pump juice. But you cannot, no matter how good you are, hand pump juice, with the same consistency as an automated, accurate dispenser.
Think about it.
If the human hand and brain, could deliver ink to the page, with the speed, reliability, and accuracy that an inkjet printer does, then people wouldnt be useing inkjet printers. We'd all be hand painting every image and document.
Do I think ive found the magic answer to ejuice delivery ? No.
Is it research candidate worthy of a simple bench test ? I think so.
That said, there are probably commercial sized piezo fluid delivery pumps out there somewhere, that use the same basic principles as an inkjet printer, but are slightly larger, and designed to dispense a more or less viscous fluid than those specifically designed for printers.

That's ridiculous.
Handpumping the liquid introduces faults- like if you heat up the atomizer and don't pump it quickly enough. Plus, we'd be looking for microdroplets, which requires a small enough nozzle to form them, and only a few technologies do that without producing a huge spray of mist.
So, unless you know something that you can hand pressurize and than use an electronic timing circuit to dispense in picoliter quantities, you're missing the point.
Incorrect. I own a mod that hand pumps juice. Push a button on the side, squeezes the bottle and feeds juice up a tube and feeds the atomizer from below. After the juice is pumped up and you let go, the counter suction gets rid of any juice and it drains back down to the reservoir. the juice remains in a perfect amount on the atomizer coil only. Works great. Perfect accuracy. Its called the Juice Box. It is not the only mod that does this either.
Build the electric pump if you like, I think its neat. The Germans modders already did it and they did it extremely well. I was just wanting to mention the hand pump is much better in all regards in case you didn't already know. And from the responses I suppose you didn't. Hope this helps.

boredoutofmynut, I have the PDF tutorial on how to build that. Its a very neat mod, you should see the completed one. Have a look. This mod has already been hashed though in the forums. It is one of the top mods in my opinion.

have u seen that with the fang? i am looking at these programable pumps. the url is on other pc.but, i think feesable to have multi compartments.1 with pg/vg, 1 with nic concentrate. allowing multi nic hit levels. also maybe in larger container multi juices allowing programable recipes.like painting picture with ink millions of colours with 3 bases. ???
the technology is there but how to programme the recipes? how do you drive an ink cartridge with inkhead in it??

Care to share that .PDF?
You'll need to brush up on your German first ! lol
OK try hereh t t p://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B4fSVu24tUwYMmI0YjlkY2UtNTg4ZS00YTdiLTkwM2YtNDU4NWI4YjE5MDBk&hl=en
I've thought about this when 1st started vaping. I didn't read through the German site or any of your links so I may just be repeating but I actually think it could serve as dual purpose. There are several types but one in particular. Bubble jet, where it uses heat to atomize the liquid and as it expands it exits the nozzle in the form of vapor until it hits the paper. If you could take this 1 step further on a little larger scale it could act as the vaporizer and e-juice feed. I'm just rambling but it does seem like a possibility. Controlling the drop size and the temperature would be key for optimal vaporization.
Dude you are a patent searching machine. Impressive find. Now show me where to buy one.
Its called too much time on my hands Charged.LOL
It was patented in 2005 and we haven't seen it so they may have figured out the fluid would have to be extremely thin to work probably.
