The tip of other shapes is also possible (for example, needle or spear). The chamfered surface 132-3 has one or more ι 132-1. These holes allow air to pass through the nebulizer housing 132 via suction into the distal wick 134. This suction can be supplied by a user of the personal vaporizer 1 on the suction flap 114 and/or the suction inlet 116. The air sucked into the far wick 134 enters into the far wick 134 on or near the chamfered surface between the two cylinders of the far wick 13 4" the air sucked into the far wick 134 is positive Some of the material that has been vaporized that has been absorbed by the distal wick 134 is expelled such that the material exits the distal wick 134 and enters the air gap formed between the distal wick 134 and the near absorbing 136.

When air enters this region of the distal wick 134, it causes the material to be vaporized suspended in the distal wick 134 to exit toward an air chamber between the distal wick 134 and the proximal wick 136. When the discharged material to be evaporated reaches the surface of the distal wick 134, the negative pressure into the air and the chamber forces it out of the wick. This produces an atomized cloud of the material to be evaporated. In one embodiment, the diameter of the head of the distal wick 134 is variable and smaller than the diameter of the proximal wick 136. This allows air of a regulated volume to bypass the proximal wick 136 and directly enter the cavity between the distal wick 134 and the distal wick 136 without first passing through the distal wick 136.

The cylinder at the distal end terminates with an open cylindrical tip 232-2. This open cylindrical tip 232-2 allows the pointed end 234-1 of the near wick 234 to pierce one of the seals on the 匣 15 以 to allow the material to be evaporated to be in direct contact with the near wick 234. The chamfered surface 232-3 has one or more apertures 232-1. These holes allow air 155442. Doc 201208723 enters the near wick 234 via suction through the nebulizer housing 232. The air drawn into the near wick 234 enters the near wick 234 on or near the chamfered surface between the two cylinders of the near wick 234. The air that is drawn into the near wick 234 causes some of the material being vaporized to be absorbed by the near wick 234 to be discharged 'so that the substance exits the near wick 234 and enters into the near wick 234 and The air gap between the wicks 136 is atomized. The heating element disposed about the near wick 136 can then evaporate at least some of the atomized material that is being vaporized. In one embodiment, the diameter of one or more of the apertures 232-1 may range between 〇·〇2 inches and 〇_〇625 inches. In one embodiment, the aperture 232-1 is disposed at the leading edge of the chamfered surface to place a volume of material to be evaporated in a set volume in the path of entering the air. This incoming air has nowhere to go but only passes through the head of the distal wick 234. When the air enters this region of the distal wick 234, it causes the substance to be evaporated suspended in the distal wick 234 to face an air chamber between the distal wick 234 and the proximal wick 236. discharge. When the discharged material to be evaporated reaches the surface of the distal wick 232, the negative pressure into the air and the chamber forces it out of the wick. This produces an atomized cloud of the material to be evaporated. In one embodiment, the diameter of the head of the distal wick 234 can vary and be smaller than the diameter of the proximal wick 236. This allows an adjusted volume of air to bypass the distal wick 236 and directly enter the cavity between the proximal wick 234 and the distal wick 236 without first passing through the distal wick 236.

Figure 58 is a cross-sectional view of the nebulizer housing and wick along the cutting line shown in Figure 57. The nebulizer housing and the suction system shown in Figures 5 through 58 are used in an alternative embodiment to the proximal wick 236. The embodiment shown in Figures 54 through 58 uses an atomizer housing 232, a proximal wick 234, a proximal wick 236, a wire guide 237, and a wire guide 238. The proximal wick 236 is configured to fit within the nebulizer housing 232. As can be seen in Figures 54-58, the proximal wick 236 includes internal wire passages 236-1. This wire path 236-1 allows a conductor or a heating element (not shown) to be positioned through the near wick 236 (via internal wire path 236-1). The conductor or heating element can be positioned around the wire guide 237 and the wire guide 238. Thus, a conductor or heating element can extend through the wire path 236-1, around the wire guides 237 and 238 and then back through the wire path 236-1 to return to approximately its origin. When the personal evaporator unit 100 is activated, the heating element can heat the near wick 236 to promote evaporation of a substance.

Figure 64 is a cross-sectional view of the tube sleeve taken along the line of cut shown in Figure 63. The light pipe sleeve 14 is configured to be disposed within the main housing 102. The tube sleeve 140 is also configured to hold the 匣ι5〇 and the nebulizer cover Π2 or 232. As previously discussed, the light pipe sleeve 14 is configured to conduct light (e.g., 'from lEE) 125 to 127 that enters the proximal end of the light pipe sleeve 140 to the distal end of the light pipe sleeve 140. Typically, light exiting the distal end of the tube sleeve 14 will be visible from outside the personal vaporizer 100. Light exiting the distal end of the tube sleeve 140 can be diffused by the crucible 150.

Figure is a top view of one of the lines of Figure 65. Figure 69 is a plan view of the squeegee along one of the cutting lines shown in Figure 66. As shown in Figures 65-69, the 匣15〇 includes a hollow cylindrical section having at least one outer flat surface 158. When the cymbal 15 is inserted into the distal end of the individual evaporator unit 1 ,, the flat surface 158 forms an open space between the outer surface of the cymbal and one of the inner surfaces of the tube sleeve 140. This space defines a passage for drawing air from the personal evaporator unit 1 through the personal evaporator unit 1 to be inhaled by the user along with the vaporized material. This space also helps define the volume of air drawn into the individual evaporator unit 100. A different mixture of vaporized material and air can be produced by defining the volume of air that is typically drawn into the unit. The hollow portion of the 匣150 is configured as a reservoir for holding a substance to be evaporated by the individual evaporator unit 100. The hollow portion of the £15 crucible holds the substance to be evaporated which is in direct contact with the far wick 134 or 234. This allows the far wick 134 or 234 to be filled with material to be evaporated. The area of the distal wick 134 or 234 that is in direct contact with the material to be evaporated can be varied to deliver different doses of material to be evaporated. For example, a hollow 150 having a hollow portion of different diameters can be used to deliver different doses of material to be evaporated to the user. The crucible 150 can be configured to pass a cap or seal on the proximal end (not shown 155442. Doc -24- 201208723 No) to limit the substances to be evaporated. This cap or seal can be pierced by the end of the nebulizer housing 132 or the pointed end 234-1 of the proximal wick 234. When inserted into the personal evaporator unit 1 匣, the ram pad 157 defines an air passage between the tube sleeve 140 and the end of the main housing 102. This air passage allows the empty milk to reach the air passage defined by the flat surface 158. The hollow portion of the crucible 150 also includes one or more passages 154. The ends of the channels are exposed to air received through the air passage defined by the flat surface 158. These passages allow air to enter the hollow portion of the crucible 15 when the material contained in the crucible 150 is drawn into the far wick 134 or 234. Allowing air to enter the hollow portion of the crucible when the material contained in the crucible 150 is removed prevents a vacuum from forming inside the crucible 150. This vacuum prevents the contents contained in the crucible 15 from being absorbed into the far wick 134 or 234. In a consistent application, 匣15〇 can be at least partially translucent. Thus, the crucible 150 can act as a light diffuser such that light emitted by one or more of the lEd 125 through 127 is visible outside of the individual evaporator unit 1 . Figure 70 is a side view of one of the batteries of a personal evaporator unit. Figure 71 is an end view of the battery of Figure 70. Figure 72 is a perspective view of one of the battery supports of a person's evaporator unit. As can be seen in Figure 72, the battery support 106 does not form a complete cylinder that completely surrounds the battery 1〇4. The missing portion of a cylinder forms a passage that allows air and vaporized material from the atomizer assembly to pass through the battery to the suction port 6 so that it can be inhaled by the user.

The personal vaporizer housing 500 includes a battery that holds the charge for recharging the individual evaporator unit 100. Recharging the individual evaporator unit 1 can be managed by a charge controller that is part of the housing 500. When the outer casing 500 is holding a person's evaporator unit 1 , at least a portion of the individual evaporator unit 100 is visible from the exterior of the outer casing 5 to allow one of the light emitted by the individual evaporator unit 1 to provide evaporation to the individual. One of the states of one of the units is visually indicated. This visual indication is visible outside of the housing 500. The individual evaporator unit 100 is activated by an impedance change between two conductive surfaces.
