Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the field of electronic cigarette (or e-cigarette), and more particularly to electronic cigarettes having squeezable e-liquid tank.
- smoking cigarette is harmful to smoker's health.
- the active ingredient in a cigarette is mainly nicotine.
- nicotine along with tar aerosol droplets produced in the cigarette burning, are breathed into the alveolus and absorbed quickly by the smoker.
- nicotine Once nicotine is absorbed into the blood of the smoker, nicotine then produces its effect on the receptors of the smoker's central nervous system, causing the smoker relax and enjoy an inebriety similar to that produced by an exhilarant.
- the electronic cigarette is sometimes referred as electronic vaporing device, personal vaporizer (PV), or electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS). It is a battery-powered device which simulates tobacco smoking. It generally uses a heating element that vaporizes a liquid solution (e-liquid). Some solutions contain a mixture of nicotine and a variety of flavorings, while others release a flavored vapor without nicotine. Many are designed to simulate smoking experience, such as cigarette smoking or cigar smoking. Some of them are made with similar appearance, while others are made considerably different in appearance.
- the e-liquid in the e-cigarette is stored in an e-liquid supplying reservoir.
- the e-liquid supplying reservoir contains various types of fibers such as cotton, polypropylene fiber, terylene fiber, or nylon filer.
- the e-liquid is soaked in these fibers and the liquid solution is passed through these fibers to a heating element to be vaporized.
- the e-liquid is vaporized on the heating element with fibers.
- the poor contact of the fibers with heating element causes uneven vaporization.
- the direct contact of the fiber with heating element also causes a burning smell. It is desirable to allow liquid solution to make direct contact with the heating element without any fibers such that the liquid solution is vaporized evenly without the burning smell.
- e-cigarette There are two type of e-cigarette: disposable e-cigarette, and refillable e-cigarette.
- Disposable e-cigarette is manufactured with certain amount of e-liquid in the product. When the e-liquid packed in the disposable e-cigarette is used up, it is no longer usable. The disposable e-cigarette is not refillable.
- the e-liquid in e-liquid tank is used up, the user can refill the e-liquid so the entire e-cigarette is reusable.
- the refill process is cumbersome, and difficult.
- conventional fiber filled e-liquid tank the fiber and the e-liquid in the e-liquid tank may leak out. The contact between the heating element and the e-liquid in the tank is not optimum such that a portion of the heat from the heating element is wasted, and the vaporization efficiency is low.
- Document US 2013/213418 A1 discloses an electronic cigarette which includes a capillary tube in communication with a liquid supply including liquid material and a heater operable to heat the capillary tube to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material contained therein and form an aerosol, wherein the liquid supply is adapted to be squeezed or otherwise compressed so as to allow a smoker to manually pump liquid to the capillary tube and simultaneously activate the heater.
- the present invention relates to an electronic cigarette.

- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present invention.
- relative terms such as “lower” or “bottom”, “upper” or “top,” and “front” or “back” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the Figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the Figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on “upper” sides of the other elements. The exemplary term “lower”, can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of “lower” and “upper,” depending of the particular orientation of the figure.
