Abstract
An electronic ingestible gas cooling device that reduces the temperature of a gas (e.g smoke, vapors) before being ingested while simultaneously solving or minimizing problems such as user discomfort from too much heat, preparation inconvenience, changing gas temperature over time and/or changing the flavor or potency experience. The device cools by improving the transfer of heat away from the hot gas using a combination of an electrically powered thermoelectric cooling device (8), water, heat distribution device (2), fan (10) and an elongated cooling path (4,5) designed to increase the time and the amount of surface area contact between the gas and the cool surface.

A cooling system to cool a stream of ingestible gas comprising:
- a connection or an adapter or an ingestible gas processing device to allow the system to produce or accept an input stream of ingestible gas,
- a heat collection device housing,
- a heat collection device positioned in the heat collection device housing, the heat collection device having a cross section defining an elongated path, the heat collection device housing having an exterior surface, an input hole formed through the exterior surface and an output hole formed in the exterior surface, the elongated path extending between the input hole and the output hole within, the elongated path of the heat collection device configured to increase both the time and the amount of surface area contact between the heat collection device and the ingestible gas as the ingestible gas passes through the elongated path, all of the ingestible gas pass passing through the elongated path moving a least 3 times the shortest distance between the input and output holes,
- a thermoelectric cooler, using the Peltier effect, having a cool side and a warm side, the cool side facing the heat collection device and is coupled together with the exterior surface of the heat collection device using a thin layer of a thermally conductive material,
- a heat spreading device that is coupled to the warm side of the thermoelectric cooler using a thin layer of thermally conductive material,
- an air moving device to blow air across the heat spreading device to convect heat from the heat spreading device to the ambient air,
- an output connection or output adapter to allow the system to allow the ingestible gas to exit the cooling system from the elongated path and continue to move towards a user, and
- a user interface device to allow the user to consume the ingestible gas.
