Abstract
An improved cartridge for containing an inhalable substance. The cartridge may comprise a wrapping or exterior material having the same or similar combustion properties as the inhalable substance contained within the cartridge. The cartridge may be placed into a vaporizer or similar device where the inhalable substrate is vaporized to generate a gaseous version of the inhalable substance, such as tobacco vapor, marijuana vapor, or atomized medicine without burning of or contamination by the wrapping or exterior material.
Claims19
A cartridge comprising:
- an enclosure;
- and
- an inhalable substance enclosed by the enclosure,
- wherein the enclosure comprises the same combustion properties as the inhalable substance such that a heat from a vaporizer heat source can vaporize the inhalable substance and the enclosure without burning the enclosure,
- wherein the combustion properties comprise a combustion temperature and a vaporization temperature, and
- wherein the heat from the vaporizer heat source is applied at a temperature lower than the combustion temperature of the enclosure such that the heat from the heat source transfers through the enclosure at a substantially similar temperature that does not burn the enclosure.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a vaporizer comprising a chamber and a heating element;
- and
- a cartridge comprising an enclosure and an inhalable substance,
- wherein the enclosure comprises the same combustion properties as the inhalable sub stance,
- wherein the combustion properties comprise a combustion temperature and a vaporization temperature,
- wherein the chamber receives the cartridge,
- wherein the heating element applies heat to the inhalable substance through the enclosure to vaporize the inhalable substance and the enclosure without burning the enclosure, and
- wherein the heat from the heating element is applied at a temperature lower than the combustion temperature of the enclosure such that the heat from the heat source transfers through the enclosure at a substantially similar temperature that does not burn the enclosure.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- packing an inhalable substance such that sufficient airflow is achieved when vaporizing the inhalable substance into a gaseous version;
- wrapping an enclosure around the inhalable substance to create a cartridge, wherein the enclosure comprises the same combustion properties as the inhalable substance, and wherein the combustion properties comprise a combustion temperature and a vaporization temperature;
- inserting the cartridge into a vaporizer;
- and
- applying heat to the enclosure and the inhalable substance of the cartridge at a temperature lower than the combustion temperature of the enclosure to vaporize the inhalable substance and the enclosure without burning the enclosure.
