Abstract

Provided is an apparatus comprising a vapor outlet, a container for storing a vaporizable material, a vaporizer component configured for vaporizing the vaporizable material to generate a vapor and for providing the vapor to the vapor outlet, and a housing, containing the vapor outlet, the container, and the vaporizer, wherein the housing resembles a credit card shape.

Claims (27)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a vapor outlet;

a container for storing a vaporizable material;

a vaporizer component configured for vaporizing the vaporizable material to generate a vapor and for providing the vapor to the vapor outlet; and

a housing, containing the vapor outlet, the container, and the vaporizer, wherein the housing resembles a credit card shape.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vaporizer component comprises a heating element for vaporizing the vaporizable material.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vaporizer component comprises a vibrating mesh for nebulizing the vaporizable material into a mist, an atomizer for atomizing the vaporizable material into an aerosol, or an ultrasonic nebulizer for nebulizing the vaporizable material into a mist.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the credit card shape comprises a first dimension that is between 3 inches and 4 inches, a second dimension that is between 1.5 inches and 2.5 inches, and a third dimension that is smaller than the second dimension.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the credit card shape comprises dimensions that enable the apparatus to be carried within a space generally sized to accommodate a standard sized credit card.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the container is at least one of non-refillable or configured to be refilled using a proprietary device.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a light-emitting element configured to indicate an amount of vaporizable material in the container.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vaporizable material comprises at least one of insulin, a medication for treating asthma, a medication for treating impotence, a medication for treating cardiovascular disease, a medication for treating seizures, a medication for treating epilepsy, or a medication for treating anaphylactic shock.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the container is configured to store an amount of vaporizable material for ten uses or less.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a power source, coupled to the vaporizer, wherein the power source has sufficient power to power the vaporizer ten times or less.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a use of the apparatus comprises at least one of a single dose of medicine, a single inhalation, or a predetermined usage time.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined usage time is less than five minutes, or less than one minute, or less than 30 seconds, or less than 15 seconds.

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the container, the vaporizer component, or the housing, is disposable.

14 . An apparatus for vaporizing a vaporizable material, comprising:

an outer housing resembling a non-vaporizer article,

a container for storing a vaporizable material; and

a vaporizer component configured for vaporizing the vaporizable material to generate a vapor.

15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the container and the vaporizer component are positioned within a housing.

16 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein a volume of the apparatus is less than 5 cubic inches, less than 3 cubic inches, less than 1 cubic inch, or less than half of a cubic inch.

17 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the non-vaporizer article comprises at least one of a sphere, a triangular prism, a cone, a miniature remote control, a pea pod, a honeycomb, a clover, a skipping stone, a watch or a disc.

18 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the housing is wearable.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the non-vaporizer article is at least one of a ring, a watch, a bracelet, a necklace, a keychain, eyeglasses, a hat, a pen, or a watch.

20 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the housing has a shape that is configured to be integrated with a traditional smoking apparatus.
