## Abstract

A broiler-type heating device for electronic smoking devices such as electronic cigarettes and vaporizers includes a heating element located above the storage area where the inhalant material is located. The heating element is in electrical communication with a lower connector located below the storage area. A partition defines the bottom of the internal storage area and separates the storage area from the lower connector. The heating device may be two separate pieces, a chamber and a cradle, that are removably connected. The heating element is located in the chamber above the storage area, which is located in the cradle.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A heating device for an electronic smoking device, comprising a heating element disposed above an internal storage area, the internal storage area receiving inhalant material to be at least partially heated by the heating element, wherein the heating element avoids direct contact with the inhalant material.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The heating device of claim 1, including a lower connector disposed below the internal storage area, the lower connector in electrical communication with the heating element.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The heating device of claim 2, including an upper connector disposed above the heating element.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The heating device of claim 2, including a partition delimiting the bottom of the internal storage area, the partition separating the internal storage area from the lower connector.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The heating device of claim 1, including at least one air passage to facilitate the flow of air through the heating device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The heating device of claim 1, including an access door disposed about the internal storage area to facilitate access to the internal storage area.

### Claim 7

A heating device for an electronic smoking device, comprising:
a chamber removably connected to a cradle, wherein the chamber is disposed above the cradle;
a heating element disposed in the chamber;
an internal storage area disposed in the cradle, the internal storage area receiving inhalant material to be at least partially heated by the heating element; and
wherein the heating element avoids direct contact with the inhalant material.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The heating device of claim 7, the cradle including a lower connector disposed below the internal storage area of the cradle, the lower connector of the cradle in electrical communication with the heating element of the chamber.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The heating device of claim 8, including corresponding electrical contacts on each of the chamber and the cradle to facilitate electrical communication between the lower connector of the cradle and the heating element of the chamber.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The heating device of claim 8, including an upper connector disposed above the heating element of the chamber.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The heating device of claim 8, including a partition delimiting the bottom of the internal storage area, the partition separating the internal storage area from the lower connector.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The heating device of claim 7, including at least one air passage to facilitate the flow of air through the heating device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 7)

The heating device of claim 7, including an access door disposed about the internal storage area.

### Claim 14 (depends on 7)

The heating device of claim 7, wherein the chamber and the cradle are removably connected by a hinge.

### Claim 15 (depends on 7)

The heating device of claim 7, wherein the chamber and cradle and removably connected by a threaded connection

### Claim 16 (depends on 7)

The heating device of claim 7, wherein the chamber and the cradle and removably connected by a magnetic connection.
