Abstract
An exothermal vaporizer is provided. The exothermal vaporizer has a body including an air and vapor mix port, a fluid inlet port in communication with a reservoir, an air inlet, and a wicking material. A mouthpiece is coupled to the body and a temperature indicating cap is removable from the body. A counter flow design exothermal vaporizer, a modular exothermal vaporizer, and a vaporizer which is adjustable to modulate and/or regulate the flow ratio of dilution air and produced vapor are also disclosed.
Claims21
A modular exothermal vaporizer comprising:
- a modular assembly of components, said components comprising:
- a tip having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end of the tip, the tip having a hollow interior that extends between and is open on the first end and the second end of the tip, a portion of hollow interior of the tip comprising an extraction chamber and a diffuser removably retained in the hollow interior of the tip;
- a body comprising a first end and a second end spaced from the first end, the body having a hollow interior that extends between and is open on the first end and the second end, the body being removably coupled with the tip on the first end of the body and a condenser comprising a hollow tubular member removably retained within the body extending an approximate length of the body and terminating adjacent the diffuser, an air gap surrounding the condenser between an exterior surface of the condenser and an interior surface of the body, extending the approximate length of the body, the body also having a mouthpiece on the second end of the body opposite the tip;
- and
- a temperature indicating cap which is removable from the tip;
- wherein the tip, the diffuser, the condenser, and the mouthpiece are removably and interchangeably assembled in the exothermal vaporizer by a friction fit assembly enabled by a plurality of O-rings positioned on the tip, the condenser, and/or the mouthpiece, the O-rings also being configured to provide an insulative interface between heated and unheated components of the assembled exothermal vaporizer.
