Definitions
- the invention pertains generally to the field of vaporizers, and specifically to portable electronic vapor producing devices.
- Chemical substances containing therapeutic or medicinal ingredients are traditionally delivered in solid or liquid form, either orally, intravenously, or by absorption through the skin. Chemical substances in liquid form may also be converted, through a combustion or vaporizing process, into a gaseous form that can be delivered orally through inhalation.
- the inhalation of substances in gaseous form may cause a therapeutic, desirable sensation, and may even be psychologically addictive. This is particularly the case when the substance being inhaled contains a physically addictive chemical or drug, such as nicotine or cannabis.
- the process of converting substances into gaseous form through combustion is known to eliminate or diminish the potency of some active ingredients, which may decrease the effectiveness of using the process.
- the combustion process may also result in by-products, such as carbon monoxide, tar, and other known or suspected carcinogens, which may expose both the user and others in the vicinity to health risks.
- Alternative methods to combustion include vaporizing or heating the substance.
- a number of devices are available for users who wish to inhale substances that have been converted into gaseous form through such methods.
- many of these devices often called vaporizers, are not designed to be mobile or to be used with the same transient frequency and simplicity as rolled tobacco or marijuana cigarettes.
- Examples of typical prior art vaporizers include US Patent Number 7,445,007 to Balch et al. for a Thermal Vaporization Method and Apparatus, and US Patent Number 6,761,164 to Amirpour for a Herbal Vaporizer.
- Balch and Amirpour disclose devices powered by connection to a static AC outlet and contain a mouth piece for the user to draw on in order to inhale the vapor that is produced.
- portable vaporizing devices have been used for application with liquid concentrates that contain nicotine as an active ingredient.
- the purpose of these devices is to mimic a cigarette containing rolled tobacco and to deliver nicotine to the user without the health risks associated with the combustion process.
- These devices do not generally contemplate use as a delivery method for substances other than nicotine.
- the mesh cartridge allows users to manually refill the liquid substance. However, this may be hazardous because:
- - liquid may be spilled during the refilling process, potentially contaminating skin and nearby surfaces with active ingredient(s), causing a health hazard both the user and to others in the environment;
- - mesh cartridges that are overfilled may cause the user to experience backwash of the liquid when inhaling through the device, which may result in the user consuming an over dose of the active ingredient(s);
- These devices lack a means for controlling the form (liquid or gaseous), quantity and quality of the active ingredient(s) being delivered to and inhaled by the user; and a means for inserting the active ingredient(s) into the device that does not pose a health risk for the user or risk potential damage to the device itself.
- a portable electronic vapor-producing device that avoids the aforementioned limitations would allow users to inhale the gaseous form of chemical substances for therapeutic or medicinal purposes without being exposed to the health and safety issues associated with existing devices. Such a device would also have the benefit of being a more reliable consumer product as it would be less susceptible to damage through normal use.
- US Patent Application Pub. No. 2012/0090630 to Lik entitled Flameless Electronic Atomizing Cigarette and US Patent No. 7,832,410 to Lik, disclose portable vaporizing devices that rely on airflow or touch sensors.
- US Patent No. 8,156,944 to Han discloses a similar portable vaporizing device that incorporates an airflow sensor and an atomizer.
- PCT Application No. PCT/US2008/059299 to Paterno et al. discloses a portable vaporizing device that relies on producing vapor when air is passed over a coil which has been heated by a rechargeable battery. A mechanism for monitoring usage of the device and battery life is also disclosed.
- each of these portable vaporizing devices it is disclosed that the vapor is produced when air is drawn into a chamber containing a microprocessor that is configured to react to the airflow by triggering the activation of the battery which in turn supplies power to a heating element. The vapor is then drawn further into the chamber and through a reusable cartridge containing a nicotine-based liquid, which is inhaled by the user.
