Fluid delivery devices and methods

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for generating a mist. In one embodiment, a fluid delivery device is provided that includes a housing, a fluid vaporizer disposed within the housing and configured to receive fluid and to produce an aerosol mist of liquid particles from the fluid, and a pump configured to accelerate the aerosol mist produced by the fluid vaporizer. Methods are provided for producing a mist, and the methods can include delivering a fluid to a fluid vaporizer that generates a first mist. The fluid vaporizer delivers the mist to a pump that generates a second mist from the first mist.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of producing a mist, comprising:
 activating a device having fluid vaporizer to cause the fluid vaporizer to generate a first mist, wherein a pump of the device draws the first mist into the pump and the pump generates a second mist that is expelled from the device.
