    where the hole isn’t all that big but somehow maintains structural integrity yet significant flow rate

    Sorry, fluid mechanics doesn’t work that way.

      I dunno man, I have a few German vapes protected by patents that seem to work alright. Their first patent expired a few years ago, however patents for their portable vapes won’t expire until 2035, but there’s surely some scope to make something transformative before then.

        I’m not familiar enough with vapes (German or otherwise) to understand how they’re related to using Twizzlers as straws.

          Because the vape I’m talking about has a trick heatsink inside that it uses to heat air up to the desired temperature, without massively restricting airflow.
