Abstract
A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.
Claims15
A method of creating and distributing vapor for use while hunting game;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- powering a vaporizing heating element in communication with a supply of vaporizable liquid scent material and an airflow outlet;
- the vaporizable liquid scent material including at least one animal lure aromatic material and at least one of a propylene glycol and a vegetable glycerin;
- heating the vaporizing heating element to a temperature between 390 and 480 degrees Fahrenheit to provide a heated vaporizing heating element;
- using the heated vaporizing heating element, rapidly vaporizing liquid scent material from the supply of vaporizable liquid scent material into a vapor;
- and
- distributing the vapor from the airflow outlet with a vapor distribution airflow.
A method of generating and distributing a scented vapor to attract or deter an animal;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a base that has a power supply, and a first connector section;
- connecting a disposable scent material cartridge having a second connector section to the base by joining the second connector section with the first connector section;
- the scent material cartridge carrying a vaporizing element and a vaporizable liquid scent material that includes at least one of propylene glycol and a vegetable glycerin and a scent material;
- the step of connecting including the step of forming a selectively energizable electrical circuit between the vaporizing element and the power supply;
- selectively energizing the vaporizing element to a temperature between 390 and 480 degrees Fahrenheit to provide a heated vaporizing element;
- using the heated vaporizing element, rapidly vaporizing a portion of the liquid scent material from the scent material cartridge into a vaporized scent material;
- creating a distribution airflow;
- and
- distributing the vaporized scent material from the cartridge with the distribution airflow.
