Abstract
A device and method for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable containing an internal susceptor inside an encasement with an induction heating element wrapped around the consumable-containing package to heat the susceptor using a magnetic field generated by the induction heating element. Combustion of the consumable-containing package is minimized by limiting air inside the consumable-containing package by coating a plurality of holes in the encasement material that melts at high temperatures. The coating may also include a flavoring.
Claims23
A device, comprising:
- a) a compressed consumable-containing unit;
- b) a susceptor embedded within the compressed consumable-containing unit;
- c) an encasement encasing the compressed consumable-containing unit and the susceptor, wherein the encasement comprises an opening;
- and
- d) a filter configured to surround the encasement in a manner that eliminates a gap between the filter and the encasement.
A device, comprising:
- a) a compressed consumable-containing unit;
- b) a susceptor embedded within the compressed consumable-containing unit;
- c) an encasement encasing the compressed consumable-containing unit and the susceptor, wherein the encasement comprises an opening, wherein the encasement comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein one of the first or second ends of the encasement comprises a fold to space apart adjacent encasements.
A device, comprising:
- a) a compressed consumable-containing unit;
- b) a susceptor embedded within the compressed consumable-containing unit;
- c) an encasement encasing the compressed consumable-containing unit and the susceptor;
- d) a plurality of openings on the encasement;
- and
- e) a coating to cover the plurality of openings.
A method of using a device comprising a compressed consumable-containing unit, a susceptor embedded within the compressed consumable-containing unit, and an encasement encasing the compressed consumable-containing unit and the susceptor, wherein the encasement comprises an opening, the method comprising:
- a) releasing an aerosol form of a consumable from the compressed consumable-containing unit without producing toxic byproducts associated with combustion;
- b) applying heat to the compressed consumable-containing unit by heating the susceptor with an induction heating element to release the aerosol form of the consumable from the compressed consumable-containing unit without combusting the compressed consumable-containing unit;
- and
- c) melting a coating on the encasement to release the consumable in aerosol form from the encasement through openings in the encasement.
A method of manufacturing a device for generating an inhalable aerosol, the method comprising:
- a) compressing a consumable-containing unit around a susceptor;
- b) placing the consumable-containing unit and the susceptor into an encasement;
- c) placing the encasement containing the consumable-containing unit into a housing;
- and
- d) applying a coating onto openings in the encasement, whereby the device for generating an inhalable aerosol is manufactured.
A method of manufacturing a device for generating an inhalable aerosol, the method comprising:
- a) compressing a consumable-containing unit around a susceptor;
- b) placing the consumable-containing unit and the susceptor into an encasement;
- c) placing the encasement containing the consumable-containing unit into a housing;
- and
- d) placing the encasement into a filter tube, whereby the device for generating an inhalable aerosol is manufactured.
