Claims (54)

1. A vaporizing device, comprising:

a first housing removably attached to a second housing;

at least one air inlet for allowing air into the second housing;

a battery in the first housing;

a vaporization tube in the second housing;

a spiral wire inside of the vaporization tube;

a liquid storage container for containing a liquid in the second housing;

with the second housing having a central longitudinal axis and with the spiral wire and the vaporization tube aligned on the central longitudinal axis; and

with liquid capable of moving from the liquid storage container into contact with the spiral wire to create vapor in the vaporization tube.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the vaporization tube comprises a fiber material and with the spiral wire extending longitudinally within the vaporization tube.

3. The device of claim 2 with the vaporization tube having a threaded base for supporting the vaporization tube.

4. The device of claim 3 with the at least one air inlet adjacent to a first end of the vaporization tube.

5. The device of claim 2 including multiple air inlets in the second housing.

6. The device of claim 2 further including a liquid comprising nicotine, in the liquid storage container.

7. The device of claim 6 with the nicotine comprising 0.1% to 6% of the liquid.

8. The device of claim 7 with the liquid further including glycerol or propylene glycol.

10. The device of claim 1 further including a display screen on the first housing showing an operating state parameter.

11. The device of claim 1 further including a charging jack on the first housing for charging the battery.

12. The device of claim 1 with the spiral wire in contact with an inside wall of the vaporization tube comprising motel.

13. The device of claim 1 with the spiral wire comprising a single spiral metal wire.

14. A vaporizing device, comprising:

a first housing attached to a second housing via screw threads;

at least one air inlet for allowing air into the second housing;

a battery and a control circuit in the first housing electrically connected to a switch on the first housing;

a straight vaporization tube;

a threaded base for supporting the vaporization tube in the second housing;

a spiral wire extending longitudinally inside of the vaporization tube, with the spiral wire electrically connected to the control circuit;

a liquid storage container in the second housing; and

a passageway for liquid to move from the liquid storage container into contact with the spiral wire in the vaporization tube.

15. The device of claim 14 with the at least one air inlet adjacent to a first end of the vaporization tube.

16. The device of claim 14 including multiple air inlets in the second housing.

17. The device of claim 14 further including a liquid comprising nicotine in the liquid storage container.

18. The device of claim 17 with the nicotine comprising 0.1% to 6% of the liquid.

19. The device of claim 18 with the liquid further including glycerol or propylene glycol.

20. The device of claim 14 with the vaporization tube having an inside diameter of 0.05 to 2 mm and a length of 3-20 mm.

21. The device of claim 14 with the spiral wire comprising a single spiral metal wire.

22. The device of claim 14 further including a display screen and a charging jack on the first housing electrically connected to the control circuit.

23. A vaporizing device, comprising:

a first housing attached to a second housing via screw threads;

at least one air inlet for allowing air into the second housing;

a battery and a control circuit in the first housing electrically connected to a switch on the first housing;

a vaporization tube in the second housing having a threaded base for supporting the vaporization tube;

with the at least one air inlet adjacent to a first end of the vaporization tube;

a spiral wire extending longitudinally inside of the vaporization tube, with the spiral wire electrically connected to the control circuit;

a liquid storage container in the second housing containing a liquid comprising nicotine, and glycerol or propylene glycol, with the nicotine comprising 0.1% to 6% of the liquid; and

a passageway for liquid to move from the liquid storage container to the vaporization tube.

24. The device of claim 23 further including a display screen and a charging jack on the first housing electrically connected to the control circuit.

25. The device of claim 23 wherein the vaporization tube comprises a fiber material.

26. The device of claim 14 wherein the vaporization tube comprises a fiber material.

27. The device of claim 1 with the battery electrically connected to a switch and to a control circuit.

28. The device of claim 1 with the liquid storage container aligned on the central longitudinal axis.

29. The device of claim 28 with the first housing aligned on the central longitudinal axis.

30. The device of claim 1 wherein the vaporization tube is straight.
