I was thinking about this but then i also though i bet this has been thought of and proved to be either impossible or well does not produce good results.

I got one of those (cool Air Vaporizers) I remember it is a sonic vaporizer and it looked quite small IDK how small you could make one (if at all possible) for the use of E-cigs.

Here is a snippet from the humidifier page of Wikipedia.


  • Ultrasonic humidifier – a metal diaphragm vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency creates water droplets that silently exit the humidifier in the form of a cool fog. Ultrasonic humidifiers use a piezo-electric transducer to create a high frequency mechanical oscillation in a body of water. Emitted is an extremely fine mist, about one micrometre in diameter, that is quickly absorbed into the air flow. Unlike the humidifiers that boil water, these water droplets contain any impurities that are in the reservoir, including minerals from hard water (which then forms a difficult to remove white dust on nearby objects and furniture), and pathogens growing in the stagnant tank. Ultrasonic Humidifiers should be cleaned regularly to avoid bacterial contamination which may be projected into the air.
Impeller and ultrasonic humidifiers do not selectively put water in the air, they also add any suspended material in the water to the air such as microorganisms and minerals. The amount of minerals and other materials can be greatly reduced by using distilled water, though no water is absolutely pure. Filters may also reduce the amount of material but the EPA warns, "the ability of these devices to remove minerals may vary widely."[1] Depending on the volume, this dust may have negative health effects. Wick humidifiers trap the mineral deposits in the wick; vaporizer types tend to collect minerals on or around the heating element and require regular cleaning with vinegar or citric acid to control buildup.


Now the only reason why i thought of this is because i was for some reason thinking about how an e-cig could be made without the downfalls of e-cigs Wire and Wicking material.

Would this in anyway be possible to those who understand these things more than I do. I got a feeling it wont work for one reason or more but just thinking about it.
