Abstract

In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a portable nebulizer comprising a housing, a mouthpiece, a reservoir, a disk having multiple pores, and a unit that is configured to cause the disk to vibrate, wherein the vibration of the disk creates a pressure differential that causes a fluid from the reservoir to move through the disk to create an aerosol for delivery. In one embodiment, the mouthpiece may be held in place with at least one metal plate imbedded in the mouthpiece and at least one magnet imbedded in the housing. In one embodiment, the reservoir may have a non-cylindrical shape. In one embodiment, the nebulizer may comprise a battery and a USB port for charging the battery.
