Electronic vaporizing device and methods for use

A portable electrically powered vaporizing device comprising:

• an outer housing having an axial passageway extending therethrough that allows inhalation of air from a distal portion through a proximal portion of the device, wherein the axial passageway includes a receptacle for holding a selected substance having an active ingredient selected by a user;
• a portable power source;
• a heating portion disposed within the axial passageway, the heating portion including a heating element for heating the selected substance within the receptacle to a desired temperature sufficient to vaporize the active ingredient of the selected substance for inhalation by a user;
• and
• a grinder portion for grinding the selected substance when the selected substance comprises cellulose-based material, the grinder portion defining an enclosed interior grinding cavity within the axial passageway of the outer housing, the interior grinding cavity being accessible by a user to allow the selected substance to be placed within the grinding cavity,
• wherein the grinder portion includes a proximal and distal grinding portion relative the axial passageway, wherein the proximal and distal grinding portions are securely coupleable so that, in combination, the proximal and distal grinding portions define the grinding cavity when coupled, and remain securely coupled during vaporizing with the device, wherein the proximal grinding portion is removable such that the grinding cavity is accessible to the user, wherein each of the proximal and distal grinding portions includes teeth extending into the grinding cavity when coupled, and wherein the proximal and distal grinding portions are separable from each other so as to allow a user to access and insert the selected substance within the grinding cavity, wherein the proximal and distal grinder portions are rotatable relative to each other so as to move the teeth of each portion in opposite directions when rotated so as to grind a solid substance when placed within the grinding cavity, and
• wherein the proximal and distal grinder portions each include an undulating surface, the undulating surface of the proximal portion interfaceable with the undulating surface of the distal grinder portion, wherein the undulating surface translates rotational movement into axial movement so that when the portions are rotated relative to each other during grinding, engagement of one undulating surface against the other undulating surface causes axial back and forth movement of the grinder portions relative to each other when the portions are coupled so as to facilitate break down of the selected substance within the grinding cavity.
