Agreed. If only the internet had search engines I could figure out what this non-sense you speak of is, rather than input my own...I can't answer that question till I know what a "piezoelectric device" is.I might have, I don't know.
piezoelectric device (electronics) -- Britannica Online EncyclopediaA piezoelectric transducer is a device that produces an acoustic wave from a radio-frequency (RF) input or, conversely, converts an acoustic wave to an RF ...
Now I am sure that I haven't used one of these to vape with. Thanks Shibby for reminding me that there are search engines here.

That sounds like what the original ecig was designed from. I heard a while ago that some japanese maker that first created an electronic cigarette was originally done with acoustics and not a wire being charged. Too expensive to make in large quantities though.
Piezoelectric is used in medical nebulizers to turn liquids into a fog the can be inhaled. Some of these are small pocket sized units. One I saw held up to 7ml. They are pricey, have short batt life (about 30min). I thought one of the mad scientists out there may have investigated. The one advantage these may have is that they seem to be much more durable than the current atty.
My guess is the viscosity of the eliquid will be an issue. I predict lots of gunking up and cleaning issues if it works at all.
Most all the medicines we nebulize in the medical field are just about water-thin, and diluted with about 85% normal saline water. Also, there is a very specific and relatively narrow micron particle size range that is even able to get to the vast majority of lung tissue, and while piezo elements can be adjusted for amplitude (amount of vapor), most are not adjustable for frequency, which is what determines particulate size. Just my 2 cents worth, and I hope technology continues to progress to make these ideas possible.

Also think of the push button igniter on your BBQ grill
the clicky cricket lighters of old...I kinda miss that noise...maybe if you could make one fire 30 times a second.....
