really thats pretty close to being right @10ml a min thats .166667 ml a second. One drop is roughly .05 ml. So At 10ml a min thats about 3 drops a second. If you factor in a PG /VG mix it is thicker then water so the flow rate should be lower. A slightly thinner nozzle would cut down on the flow rate even more. Ideal i believe would be to hit the button and get one drop a second. But it is big i have found some pumps that were 13x13mm but i would have to buy a boat load before they would send me any. Wish all companies were like TI on the samples or at least let you buy some samples , seems like most want you to order a 1000 or more units before they will even answer a email.

In an ideal environment, but I've never seen any pump that would dispense that small a portion on demand....there's a pressure ramp up and then a gush at the beginning. Once the liquid is flowing it might be 1d/sec, but what about all that juice to get there? It's a neat thought, but I can't see it being practical for our application for a long while. Some industry will have to produce the pump we need and then we'll mod the hell out of it. lol
