Abstract

An electronic cigarette comprises nicotine without harmful tar. The cigarette includes a shell, a cell, nicotine solution, control circuit, and an electro-thermal vaporization nozzle installed in the air suction end of the shell. The advantages of the present invention are smoking without tar, reducing the risk of cancer, the user still gets a smoking experience, the cigarette is not lit, and there is no fire danger.

Claims (47)

1. A vaporizing device, comprising:

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

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 heating element inside of the vaporization tube;

a liquid in the second housing;

the device having a central longitudinal axis, the first housing, the battery, the second housing, the heating element and the vaporization tube aligned on the central longitudinal axis;

the liquid heated by the heating element in the vaporization tube to create vapor in the vaporization tube, the heating element in contact with an inner cylindrical surface of the vaporization tube.

2. The vaporizing device of claim 1 further including a switch and a control circuit in the first housing, the switch, the heating element and the battery electrically connected to the control circuit.

3. The vaporizing device of claim 2 further including an inhalation sensor and a control circuit, the inhalation sensor, the heating element and the battery electrically connected to the control circuit.

4. The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the vaporization tube has a screw thread at a first end of the vaporization tube, the screw thread aligned on the central longitudinal axis, and the vaporization tube having an open second end.

5. The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the heating element is in the shape of a straight line, single spiral, double spiral, cluster or spiral cluster.

6. The vaporizing device of claim 1 further including a liquid passageway supplying liquid into the vaporization tube towards the heating element.
