This disclosure relates to a centrifugal vortex system for preparing a liquid, such as medicine, and includes a chamber housing defining a vortex chamber. An array of tangential apertures are formed in the chamber housing to permit fluid to be turbulently introduced into the vortex chamber to create a vortical flow of fluid through the vortex chamber. In one embodiment, a plurality of vortex chambers are arranged in series to allow the fluid to pass through several vortex chambers. In other embodiments, the chamber housing may be stepped, textured, or both to increase the turbulence of the flow through the chamber. This present invention may be used for nebulizing and vaporizing fluids, powders and liquids for inhalation by a patient.
