1. A method for continuously dispensing fluid at a low volumetric flowrate comprising the steps of:

  • first dispensing a fluid through a small orifice, said first dispensing being executed by a device comprising;

    a reusable gas generator subassembly for generating gaseous material, said resuable gas generator comprising a key receptacle formed therein; and

    a first disposable liquid emitter subassembly associated with said reusable gas generator such that emission of said gaseous material by said gas generator subassembly will cause said disposable liquid emitter subassembly to emit liquid contained within a liquid chamber formed therein through a first fluid exit nozzle, said first fluid exit nozzle defining said small orifice, said disposable liquid emitter subassembly comprising a housing separated into two individual chambers by a pliable sheet passing therethrough, one said individual chamber defining said liquid chamber, and the other said individual chamber defining a gas chamber;

    ceasing generating gaseous material by ceasing the operation of said reusable gas generator subassembly;

    disassociating said first liquid emitter subassembly from said reusable gas generator;

    associating a second said liquid emitter subassembly with said gas generator subassembly, said second said liquid emitter subassembly further comprising a key element, said key element mating with said key receptacle, said second said liquid emitter subassembly containing dispensable fluid therein;

    re-commencing operation of said reusable gas generator subassembly to re-commence generating gaseous material; and

    second dispensing a fluid through a second said fluid exit nozzle, said second fluid exit nozzle defining said small orifice, said second dispensing being executed by said second liquid emitter subassembly.
