Would a micro fogger possibly work? While not identical to a speaker I think the concept is similar, I'm no electrical engineer so go easy on me here.

Nope. You need AT LEAST 3volts to fire a coil...and the amperage to push it as well. Even with a fine wire microcoil would not have enough oomph to vaporize the juice. Amps are just as important as voltage BTW.....

Micro fogger as in piezo fogger or similar. Not a super thin coil.

Use caution when experimenting with different tech and putting it in your mouth like that. IDK if it could do tissue damage for example.

There's a thread here somewhere about ultrasoncis that I was asking questions about too. Just....think hard 1st.

Glad you were showing sense and asking. But we don't necessarily know the results....

Also power = volts x amps. Like said above, most equipment can't put out the power. I've even looked into a capacitor driven system...the cap would have to be huge....like 5 pounds or so. lol. So even if you trickle charge the cap with low amps between vapes...it's impractical.

Basically, you need POWER.

The USB thing is done all the time with USB Passthroughs. But even then, we tell people to use an external (A/C to USB) powered supply with at least 2 amps, 3 is better. Current USB standards even for A/C mains driven computer power supplies limit USB port amps in many cases. And the constant on/off of vaping stresses computer ports. No way it's cool on some cell phone.

Look at the port ratings and output specs.

USB is a 5 volt standard. So use an ohm's law calculator and check it out. 5 volts and, say, 3.0 ohms is 1.666666 amps and 8.3333 watts as an example.
