Abstract

A disposable medical grade tank and mod assembly for dose controlled smokeless administration of a plurality of vaporized chemicals, and method of use thereof.

Claims (37)

1. An assembly for providing chemicals for smokeless administration, comprising:

a disposable tank operable to store a liquid chemical in a liquid container and provide a vapor to a mouthpiece through an air flow passage;

a mod for receiving the disposable tank, the mod comprising

an adaptor operable to receive a second end of the tank;

a vaporizing element inside the adaptor, the vaporizing element operable to convert the liquid chemical to the vapor;

an intake fan operable to draw air from a plurality of air vents; and

an air tube operable to transport the air from the intake fan to the vaporizing element.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mod further comprises a reservoir sleeve operable to secure the disposable tank.

3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein the reservoir sleeve includes a hinged door operable to receive a first end of the disposable tank, and wherein the hinged door includes an aperture for the mouthpiece of the disposable tank.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mod further comprises a rechargeable battery, and wherein the rechargeable battery is parallel, adjacent, and non-concentric to the disposable tank when the disposable tank is received by the adaptor.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mod further comprises:

at least one printed circuit board operating a control system;

a plurality of buttons operable to receive input from a user; and

a display screen operable to display at least one parameter.

6. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein the input from the user consists of at least one selected from the group consisting of a user identity, a prescription information, and a dosage setting.

7. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein one of the plurality of buttons is a fingerprint reader operable to receive a user fingerprint as the user identity, and wherein the control system limits operation of the assembly until the user fingerprint is received at the fingerprint reader and compared to a stored fingerprint.

8. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein the mod further comprises a reader selected from the group consisting of a magnetic strip reader, a RFID reader, and a Bluetooth reader.

9. The assembly of claim 8 , wherein the reader receives the prescription information from one of the disposable tank and an external device, the external device selected from the group consisting of a packaging, a mobile phone, and a server.

10. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the control system adjusts the dosage setting based on the prescription information received by the reader, wherein the dosage setting is at least one selected from the group of a dosage duration, a dosage interval, and a dosage count.

11. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein the control system adjusts an operating parameter of the intake fan based on the prescription information, and wherein the operating parameter of the intake fan is selected from the group consisting of a fan speed, a fan torque, a fan voltage, and a fan frequency.

12. A mod for dosage control of liquid chemicals, comprising:

an adaptor operable to receive a second end of a disposable tank, the disposable tank storing a liquid chemical in a liquid container and providing a vapor to a mouthpiece through an air flow passage;

a reservoir sleeve operable to secure the disposable tank;

a vaporizing element operable to convert the liquid chemical to the vapor;

an intake fan operable to draw air from a plurality of air vents; and

an air tube operable to transport the air from the intake fan to the adaptor.

13. The mod of claim 12 , wherein the adaptor includes a plurality of grooves operable to be receive a plurality of lips of the disposable tank.

14. The mod of claim 12 , wherein the adaptor includes a piercing element operable to puncture a foil seal of the disposable tank.

15. The mod of claim 12 , further comprising

at least one printed circuit board operating a control system;

a plurality of buttons operable to receive input from a user; and

a display screen operable to display at least one parameter.

16. The mod of claim 15 , wherein the control system is configured to adjust an operating parameter of at least one selected from the group consisting of a plurality of air vents, the intake fan, the vaporizing element, and a pump based on the input from the user for administering a prescription and dosage parameters.

17. The mod of claim 15 , further comprising an electric pump operable to pump air within mod when a user is unable to inhale properly, wherein the control system adjusts an operating parameter of the pump based on the input from the user, and wherein the operating parameter of the pump is selected from the group consisting of a pump speed, a pump torque, a pump voltage, and a pump frequency.

18. The mod of claim 15 , wherein one of the plurality of buttons is a fingerprint reader operable to receive a user fingerprint as the user identity, and wherein the control system limits operation of the vaporizing element until the user fingerprint is received at the fingerprint reader and compared to a stored fingerprint.

19. The mod of claim 15 , further comprising a reader selected from the group consisting of a magnetic strip reader, a RFID reader, and a Bluetooth reader, wherein the reader receives a prescription information from either the disposable tank or an external device, the external device selected from the group consisting of a packaging, a mobile phone, and a server.

20. The mod of claim 12 , wherein the reservoir sleeve includes a hinged door operable to receive a first end of the disposable tank, and wherein the hinged door includes an aperture for the mouthpiece of the disposable tank.
