Portable Nebulizers....Anyone seen these?

Omron MicroAir Nebulizer with VMT, A Nebulizer That Outperforms All Standard Compressor Nebulizers

Based on that information, we would have to dilute our liquid out pretty good before going at it...

3ml in 8 minutes


2 Year warranty though...

Yet with the crap that has been getting on the heating elements of the Ecigs(not sure if its fiber from wick burning or residue from eliquid). I doubt they would honor a warranty for nicotine/cola clogging. Most medical device companies really take device failures seriously and would not just reship hundreds of nebulizers without scrutinizing. Just my 2cents though. I agree it would work in theory ......just not to expect a 2 year warranty.

At that rate 3ml in 8 minutes, I don't think you could dilute enough. Might as well just get a fog machine.

except we arent going to be running it consecutively for 8 minutes... more like a total of 1 minute over 30-45 minutes (short 2-4 seconds bursts is all you would want with a harsh 36mg throat kick..)

I think that has been brought up before.

Since the vaporizer is not using a atomizer, you will not get the heat or the throat hit like we get off our E Cigs.

I'm too lazy too search for the thread but it was discussed within the last two weeks.

The other thing to keep in mind is how Nicotine works, and why it's "safe" in cigs..

If you start making too much nic laden smoke, you stand a chance of overdosing or poisoning.

Some of the posts I see here seem to be spilling over from "smoking alternatives" to some kind of OCD or neurosis.

At 10 hits then an hour wait (from an analog or ecig), you're dosing low levels of nicotine that are pretty much harmless. Dosing non stop through most of the day (like some do), you're keeping a foreign compound saturated in your system for the long term. Probably not a good idea.

Most wisdom seems to be that "too much of a good thing isn't good", and I would think that applies to nicotine as well.

Granted, I suspect some of this is about trying to have viable alternatives if ecigs become banned, but seriously, if it gets to the point where you risk overdosing or quitting, quitting is your better option.

I don't think anyone here is saying that quitting is not a better option...

Basically, the reason I (and probably others) are looking at alternatives is 1, because of risk of becoming illegal, 2, to make it easier to vape than it is to smoke, and 3, to make it cheaper than buying atomizers and batteries from people when/if they become unavailable.


If we can find something along the lines of this portable Nebulizer, and make the vapor hot before it comes to you, then why not?

The nebulizer would be less likely to fail than a heating coil, making it cheaper in the long run...

I agree that some or most of the throat hit is from the tempurature of the mist...however...I can deal with cold mist if I can no longer get hot mist

I'd like to revisit this idea. I have a nebulizer and will rip it apart to see the inner workings of it.
Agreed about the making attys last longer in case of a ban, and the possibility of building these at home.

I have the Omron nebulizer, it's virtually silent! I freaking love it. Just a little too pricey for me to test out vaping with it since I use it for albuterol. The mesh cap/disc I believe is an atomizer in it's own right according to these documents here (WO/1993/020949) ULTRASONIC ATOMIZER, ULTRASONIC INHALATOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

It doesn't list the model number for the nebulizer (that I could find) but I believe it to be a patent for this model. At $50 a pop to replace the mesh, I won't be the guinea pig

I would think that a disk would be more resistant to wear and tear than a flimsy nickel mesh material.
I think some experiment is warranted. As soon as I have time, though.
