Abstract
A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.
Claims14
A personal vaporizing unit, comprising:
- a light source internal to an opaque cylindrical housing that approximates a smoking article;
- and,
- a hollow cylindrical light tube disposed inside said opaque cylindrical housing, the light tube having a proximal end and a distal end, a wall of the light tube to receive, at the proximal end of the light tube, light emitted by said light source at a location internal to said opaque cylindrical housing, the wall of the light tube to conduct said light emitted by said light source to the distal end of the light tube and thereby an end of said opaque cylindrical housing where said light is visible outside of said opaque cylindrical housing via said wall of said light tube.
A personal vaporizing unit, comprising:
- a light source internal to an opaque cylindrical housing that approximates a smoking article, the light source not visible through said opaque cylindrical housing;
- and,
- a hollow cylindrical light tube disposed inside said opaque cylindrical housing, the light tube having a proximal end and a distal end, a wall of the light tube to receive, at a first end of the light tube, light emitted by said light source where said light emitted by said light source is not visible through said opaque cylindrical housing and the wall of the light tube to conduct said light emitted by said light source from the first end of said light tube to a second end of said light tube, whereby said light emitted by said light source and conducted by said wall of said light tube is visible outside of said opaque cylindrical housing via an end of said wall of said light tube.
