How many volts are you using to "blow" the fog apart?

>How many volts

Those ionizers are supposedly 7500VDC. Voltage falls low when drawing a large ion current.

So... Is this Ion Wind?

> Ion Wind?

Probably not. It works best with slightly damp fibers. It doesn't work at all with sharp metal needles. Perhaps it's a variety of "Electrospray," micro-droplets of liquid being pulled off the fiber tip. They would quickly evaporate, leaving charged dry particles of solute behind. (Electrospray was once used for one form of inkjet printer. Also look up high-voltage "electrospinning" of nano-scale fibers.) Or perhaps it's similar to smoke, where plasma burns the fiber itp.
