Abstract
A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.
Claims18
A personal vaporizer unit comprising:
- an air channel configured to receive outside air;
- a cartridge storing a substance to be vaporized;
- a porous wick in contact with the substance to be vaporized in the cartridge;
- a heating wire wrapped around at least a portion of the porous wick that is configured to vaporize the substance absorbed in the wick;
- a housing directly coupled to the porous wick, wherein the housing supports the porous wick and forms an air gap in which vapor is generated through the vaporization from the heating wire, further wherein the housing defines an air path for air flow;
- and
- a mouthpiece in airflow communication with the housing, wherein the vapor flows from the housing through the mouthpiece.
A personal vaporization unit comprising:
- an air channel for outside air transfer;
- a cartridge storing a substance to be vaporized;
- a wick in contact with the substance to be vaporized from the cartridge;
- a heater wrapped around at least a portion of the wick, the heater being configured to heat the substance for vaporization;
- a housing comprising cylindrical portions with different diameters, wherein one of the cylindrical portions directly couples with the wick and another one of the cylindrical portions comprises an air path for vapor flow from the vaporization;
- and
- a mouthpiece for vapor flow from the vaporization.
