Abstract
An electronic cigarette which includes a battery component, an atomization component, a pneumatic switch which controls the atomization component to operate, a mouthpiece and an airflow channel. The airflow channel includes a vapor channel and an actuator airflow channel which are independent to each other. The vapor channel is communicating with an atomization chamber of the atomization component and the mouthpiece while open through to atmospheric environment outside. The actuator airflow channel is communicating with the mouthpiece and open through to atmospheric environment outside. The pneumatic switch is arranged in the actuator airflow channel.
Claims6
An electronic cigarette device, comprising:
- a battery component at a bottom portion of said electronic cigarette device,
- an atomization component having an atomization chamber on top of said battery component,
- a pneumatic switch which controls starting of the atomization component directly and positioned on top of said battery component,
- a mouthpiece at a top end of said electronic cigarette device, and
- an airflow channel unit, which comprises a vapor channel and an actuator airflow channel which are two separate and independent airflow channels, wherein said vapor channel is communicating between said atomization chamber of said atomization component and said mouthpiece while communicating to outside atmospheric environment through said mouthpiece, wherein said actuator airflow channel is connected to said mouthpiece and is communicating to outside atmospheric environment through said mouthpiece, wherein said pneumatic switch is positioned inside said actuator airflow channel and having a sensitivity directly affected by said actuator airflow channel,
- thereby through said pneumatic switch having the sensitivity directly affected by said actuator airflow channel while said vapor channel having a diameter not correlated to a diameter of said actuator airflow channel, a simple on and off control of said electronic cigarette device by said pneumatic switch through said actuator airflow channel as well as a direct control of vape flow through said diameter of said vapor channel is achieved.
An electronic cigarette device, comprising:
- a case body defining an upper side and a bottom side having an inlet at said bottom side;
- a battery compartment body arranged for receiving a battery for power supply received inside said case body at said bottom side of said case body;
- a mouthpiece provided at said upper side of said case body arranged for communicating with outside;
- an actuator airflow channel having one end connecting to said mouthpiece;
- a pneumatic switch communicating between said inlet and said mouthpiece through said actuator airflow channel in such a manner that a sensitivity of said pneumatic switch is correlated directly to a diameter of an opening of said actuator airflow channel and said pneumatic switch provides an on and off control of said electronic cigarette directly;
- an atomization component comprising an atomization chamber for atomization process actuated by said pneumatic switch directly;
- and
- a vapor channel having one end connecting to said mouthpiece, separated from and independent of said actuator airflow channel, communicating said atomization chamber to said mouthpiece in such a manner that vapor generated from said atomization component is guided to flow from said atomization chamber to exit through said mouthpiece and a flow rate of the vapor is directly controlled by a diameter of said vapor channel.
