    Thank you very much for the info. Do you have any source of information about this? Do you know any company which still produces such equipment?
    I believe the item in question was the innokin Surge.

    This is the first I've heard of ultrasonic vaping. This has a nice summary:

    I've tried one some years ago, and it really showed promise. On the upside, super easy to setup and use and the vape was cooler in a way that I tend to enjoy. Sadly, it was very noisy when fired, the vape was never dense enough to be as flavorful as its coil counterparts and the battery lasted for only 100 puffs. I think if the industry had not been destroyed by big tobacco and corrupt politicians, the tech would have evolved into something very nice. It was a chinese company that made the unit I tried, but they and the tech appear to be long gone.

    Hello all. I am really interested in ultrasonic technology in vape systems. Do you know why this technology is no longer available or developed?
    Do anybody have a contact for a company that still produces such things? I'd be really grateful for any information! Thanks!
    My memory is there were size and power use issues. I didn’t know about the noise one, though it makes some sense. That might all be fixable with advancing technology though. Does solve the heat problem, which is big. For one it changes the base requirements. You can use water as a base for example. With no heat the dry hit and metals things go away. It’s real questionable if they were even ever a real problem and it wasn’t just tobacco companies putting their finger on the science scale, but this shoots the metal shards thing in the face. There may be other stuff. It Also changes the flavoring requirements massively. You could potentially use *any* flavor safely. Possibly not oils. That would have to be tested. There are lots of flavorings that are unstable at vape temperatures. Things would open up.
    Vape tech has always had rich enemies though. It may just have been bought and killed. The whole heat thing more or less drives every limitation vaping has.
