Abstract
A charging cases for electronic cigarettes includes a container configured to house the electronic smoking device, a micro-control unit (“MCU”) configured to facilitate charging a first rechargeable battery for the electronic smoking device. A plurality of connecting pins are configured to facilitate electrical coupling between the electronic smoking device and the MCU. A connector is movably coupled with the charging case and configured to connect the MCU to external circuitry. A system includes an electronic smoking device comprising a battery, an eCig memory, control electronics, and a charging case comprising a container, a micro-control unit (“MCU”), a connector, and a charging case battery.
Claims15
A charging case system, comprising:
- a charging case having an interior space for holding a vaporizing device;
- the charging case containing a rechargeable case battery electrically connected to first and second case electrical contacts adapted to electrically connect to a cylindrical vaporizing device battery inside of the vaporizing device, for charging the vaporizing device battery, the charging case including an electrical connector electrically connected to the rechargeable case battery, for recharging the rechargeable case battery using an external electrical power source;
- the vaporizing device comprising a cylindrical body having a first end adapted to receive a replaceable source of vapor medium;
- the charging case having a bottom, first and second longer sides, and first and second shorter sides, forming a five-sided enclosure with an open top;
- the charging case adapted to hold the cylindrical vaporizing device oriented parallel to the first and second longer sides;
- a lid on the case movable from an open position wherein the vaporizing device held within the charging case is exposed, to a closed position wherein the lid closes off the open top of the charging case.
A charging case system, comprising:
- a charging case having an interior space for holding a vaporizing device;
- the charging case containing a rechargeable case battery electrically connected to a micro control unit, an LED display, and first and second case electrical contacts adapted to electrically connect to a cylindrical vaporizing device battery inside of the vaporizing device, for charging the vaporizing device battery, the charging case including an electrical connector electrically connected to the rechargeable case battery, for recharging the rechargeable case battery using an external electrical power source;
- a wireless unit in the charging case electrically connected to the micro control unit to facilitate wireless communication between the charging case and the vaporizing device and/or external circuitry;
- the vaporizing device comprising a cylindrical body having a first end adapted to receive a replaceable source of vapor medium;
- the charging case having a bottom, first and second longer sides, and first and second shorter sides, forming a five-sided enclosure with an open top;
- the charging case adapted to hold the cylindrical vaporizing device oriented parallel to the first and second longer sides;
- and
- a lid on the case movable from an open position wherein the vaporizing device held within the charging case is exposed, to a closed position wherein the lid closes off the open top of the charging case, the vaporizing device battery chargeable by the charging case with the lid in the open position or in the closed position.
