Frequently Asked Questions
Thank you for your interest in Vapore’s Capillary Force Vaporizer (CFV) technology.
We are located in Alameda California near San Francisco and we receive a lot of
questions regarding this new method for turning unpressurized liquids into vapor or fine
sized aerosols. If you haven’t done so yet, please visit our website at:
Vapore, Inc. | Vapore Generation Technology
You’ll find plenty of information about Vapore, the CFV technology, and industries
where our technology is most applicable.
Below are answers to frequently asked questions that most people have when seeing the
technology for the first time. If the website and FAQ answers below still don’t provide
the information you desire, please send your specific questions or business proposals to
cfv-biz@vapore.com.

2. How much do the Vapore Evaluation Kits (EKs) cost?
Vapore no longer sells its Evaluation Kit. However, depending on your application, you
may be able to arrange a visit to our labs to conduct experiments with our researchers.
Just e-mail us at cfv-biz@vapore.com to discuss your application and goals.

3. If I just want a CFV device can I get one, what do they cost?
We are reluctant to sell individual CFV devices because they must be integrated into your
fluid feed system, your power supply, your fluid chemistry. Even with gifted researchers
we find ourselves spending significant time coaching customers on these and other
integration issues. There are also liability issues that we need to manage. For these
reasons we do not sell individual CFVs except to those parties with whom we have an
established joint development project or license agreement.
4. Who are Vapore’s development partners?
Vapore is conducting joint development projects with leading companies in the medical
device, drug delivery, consumer product, fuel cell, and combustion appliance markets.
We also work with universities and national labs. All of these firms are household names
whose products you likely use on a regular basis. All of our partners desire
confidentiality, so we don’t provide their identities.
5. How do Vapore’s joint development projects work? What should I do if I
have an idea for a development project?
Joint development projects regarding customizing the CFV technology to a specific
application are paid for by our partners. This sometimes involves hiring additional
Vapore staff for 1 to 2 years to conduct experiments at Vapore. Other times the research
is conducted at our partners’ facilities and Vapore plays a consulting role. However, the
partner usually pays for the project and usually receives some level of exclusivity to the
CFV technology.
If you are able to work with Vapore in such a manner, then let us know what you’d like
to develop with us.
6. Does the CFV work on water?
Yes. CFVs have been developed for humidification applications that produce
approximately 2 grams of water vapor per minute at 100 watts of applied power.
We also have CFVs that vaporize fragrances, cleaning compounds, personal care
compounds, pest control compounds, certain drugs, and many solvents. Still other CFVs
have been designed to work on various kinds of fuel.

7. What are the things that clog or damage the CFV?
CFVs are thin film boilers, so anything that can’t boil will have difficulty passing through
the device. Particulates that do pass through the device do so via entrainment in the
liquid/vapor stream. Salts, complex molecules (large proteins), many emulsions, or
formulations with constituents with widely (300C range) varying boiling points may clog
the device depending on their concentration and the physical properties of the liquid
being vaporized. Vapore has devised several methods for clearing CFV clogs and/or
cleaning the devices during use. These solutions are application specific and are part of
Vapore’s existing intellectual property.
In general, the CFV can vaporize just about any pure liquid compound. It works well
with many compound blends, such as fuels or fragrances.
8. Are all CFVs made out of ceramic materials?
No, Vapore’s intellectual property is not material or architecture specific. CFVs are
made out of many materials depending on the application performance specifications.
If you have other questions please contact us at cfv-biz@vapore.com. If you have an
application question, please describe your company and application in detail.
Thanks again for your interest in Vapore, Inc.
