Electronic cigarette with reduced energy consumption and environmental impact
A cartomizer of an electronic cigarette is configured to couple to a power source thereof that provides power for the electronic cigarette. The cartomizer comprises an insulated heating chamber that includes a controlled valve, a heating element, and an e-Liquid portion. The controlled valve can supply e-Liquid from the e-Liquid portion to the insulated heating chamber, wherein the e-Liquid is heated within the insulated heating chamber by the heating element to produce an aerosol. The insulated heating chamber reduces heat dissipation to the remainder of the cartomizer.
1. An electronic cigarette comprising:
an insulated heating chamber including,
at least one insulating wall, the insulated heating chamber having a volume, the at least one insulating wall being movable so as to change the volume of the insulated heating chamber based on a desired vapor mass to be generated;
a heating element in the insulated heating chamber;
a control chip configured to control heating of the heating element;
an e-Liquid portion in communication with the heating element; and
a controlled valve configured to supply e-Liquid from the e-Liquid portion to the heating element such that the e-Liquid is heated by the heating element to produce a vapor, the controlled valve including a membrane with passageways configured to reduce a droplet size of the e-Liquid.
2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the e-Liquid portion includes an e-Liquid container.
3. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the insulated heating chamber further comprises:
vaporization holes configured to supply the produced vapor therethrough.
