Abstract

An electronic cigarette includes a battery assembly, an atomizer assembly and a cigarette bottle assembly. An external thread electrode is located in one end of battery assembly. An internal thread electrode is located in one end of atomizer assembly. The battery assembly and the atomizer assembly are connected by the screwthread electrode. The cigarette bottle assembly is inserted into the other end of the atomizer assembly and both form a cigarette type or cigar type body.

Claims (44)

1. A vaporizing device comprising:

a battery assembly comprising a battery assembly housing having a first end and a second end, with a battery electrically connected to a circuit board within the battery assembly housing;

an indicator in the battery assembly housing electrically connected to the circuit board;

a first electrode in the battery assembly housing;

an atomizer assembly comprising:

an atomizer assembly housing having a first end and a second end;

a liquid supply in the atomizer assembly housing;

a wire coil wound around a part of a porous body which is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device;

the porous body in contact with liquid from the liquid supply;

an airflow path in the atomizer assembly housing leading to an outlet;

a second electrode in the first end of the atomizer assembly housing;

the atomizer assembly engageable with the battery assembly to form the vaporizing device, with electricity conducted from the battery to the wire coil through the first and second electrodes for heating the wire coil.

2. The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the indicator comprises an LED.

3. The vaporizing device of claim 1 further including an air flow sensor electrically connected to the circuit board.

4. The vaporizing device of claim 1 with the porous body comprising a fiber material.

5. The vaporizing device of claim 4 with the porous body moving liquid to the wire coil by capillary action.

6. The vaporizing device of claim 1 further including a switch which switches the wire coil on and off.

7. The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the liquid supply comprises a plastic bottle containing the liquid and having a mouthpiece, with the outlet in the mouthpiece.

8. The vaporizing device of claim 1 with the liquid comprising 0.1-3.5% nicotine.

9. A vaporizing device comprising:

a battery assembly comprising a battery, and an LED electrically connected to a circuit board within a battery assembly housing;

a first electrode in an end of the battery assembly housing;

an atomizer assembly comprising an atomizer in an atomizer assembly housing;

the atomizer including a wire coil wound around a porous body, with the wire coil and the porous body positioned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device, the porous body in contact with a supply of liquid;

the wire coil and the porous body in an airflow path through the atomizer assembly housing leading to an outlet;

wherein air passes across the wire coil and the porous body;

a second electrode at an end of the atomizer assembly housing; and

the battery assembly and the atomizer assembly electrically connected by engagement of the first electrode with the second electrode.

10. The vaporizing device of claim 9 further including an air flow sensor electrically connected to the circuit board.

11. The vaporizing device of claim 9 with the porous body comprising a fiber material.

12. The vaporizing device of claim 9 with the porous body moving liquid to the wire coil by capillary action.

13. The vaporizing device of claim 9 further including a switch which switches the wire coil on and off.

14. The vaporizing device of claim 9 wherein the supply of liquid comprises a plastic bottle containing liquid and having a mouthpiece, with the outlet in the mouthpiece.

15. The vaporizing device of claim 9 with the liquid comprising 0.1-3.5% nicotine.

16. A vaporizing device comprising:

a battery assembly comprising a battery, an LED, and a micro-controller unit electrically connected to a circuit board within a battery assembly housing;

a first electrode in an end of the battery assembly housing;

an atomizer assembly comprising an atomizer in an atomizer assembly housing;

the atomizer including a wire coil wound around a porous body, with the wire coil and the porous body positioned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device, the porous body in contact with liquid contained in a plastic bottle having a mouthpiece;

the wire coil and the porous body in an airflow path through the atomizer assembly housing leading to an outlet in the mouthpiece;

wherein air passes across the wire coil and the porous body;

an air flow sensor electrically connected to the circuit board;

a second electrode at an end of the atomizer assembly housing; and

the battery assembly and the atomizer assembly electrically connected by engagement of the first electrode with the second electrode, and with electricity conducted from the battery to the wire coil through the first and second electrodes.
