Abstract

An electronically actuated droplet delivery device includes a housing with a removable mouthpiece that provides a level of air resistance and is interchangeable with alternative mouthpieces that provide alternative levels of air resistance. The level of air resistance can be customized to a particular user of the droplet delivery device by using air resistance elements having different sizes and/or numbers of openings that correspond to different internal air resistance for a droplet deliver device.
