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 (48)

1 . A vaporizing device, comprising:

a rechargeable battery in a housing, the rechargeable battery electrically connected to a control circuit;

a charging connector in the housing for charging the rechargeable battery;

an LED in the housing electrically connected to the control circuit;

at least one air inlet for allowing air to flow into the housing;

an electro-thermal ceramic heating element inside of the housing, the electro-thermal ceramic heating element electrically connected to the control circuit;

a liquid storage container holding a liquid;

the electro-thermal ceramic heating element having a cavity for receiving liquid provided to the electro-thermal ceramic heating element from a passageway from the liquid storage container; and

the at least one air inlet leading into an air flow path in the housing to an outlet on the housing; and

the electro-thermal ceramic heating element vaporizing liquid from the liquid storage container.

2 . The vaporizing device of claim 1 further including an airflow sensor electrically connected to the control circuit.

3 . The vaporizing device of claim 1 further including a suction sensor electrically connected to the control circuit.

4 . The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the electro-thermal ceramic heating element comprises silicate.

5 . The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the electro-thermal ceramic heating element comprises a sintered material.

6 . The vaporizing device of claim 1 wherein the electro-thermal ceramic heating element comprises a heating coating on a wall of the electro-thermal ceramic heating element.

7 . The vaporizing device of claim 6 wherein the heating coating comprises a metal film.

8 . A vaporizing device, comprising:

a first housing removably attached to a second housing;

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

a charging connector in the first housing for charging the battery;

an LED in the first housing;

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

the second housing having a liquid storage container containing a liquid;

a passageway in the second housing, with liquid moving from the liquid storage container through the passageway onto the electro-thermal ceramic heating element, to create vapor;

the first and second housings together forming an elongated vaporizing device having a longitudinal axis.

9 . The vaporizing device of claim 8 wherein the electro-thermal ceramic heating element has a cavity for receiving liquid provided to the electro-thermal ceramic heating element from a passageway from the liquid storage container.

10 . The vaporizing device of claim 9 wherein the heating coating comprises a metal film.

11 . The vaporizing device of claim 8 wherein the electro-thermal ceramic heating element comprises silicate.

12 . The vaporizing device of claim 8 wherein the electro-thermal ceramic heating element comprises a sintered material.

13 . The vaporizing device of claim 8 further including an airflow sensor electrically connected to the control circuit.

14 . The vaporizing device of claim 8 further including a suction sensor electrically connected to the control circuit.

15 . A vaporizing device, comprising:

a rechargeable battery in a housing, the rechargeable battery electrically connected to a control circuit;

a charging connector in the housing for charging the rechargeable battery;

an LED in the housing electrically connected to the control circuit;

at least one air inlet for allowing air to flow into the housing;

an electro-thermal ceramic heating element inside of the housing, the electro-thermal ceramic heating element electrically connected to the control circuit;

a liquid storage container holding a liquid movable;

the electro-thermal ceramic heating element having a cavity for receiving liquid provided to the electro-thermal ceramic heating element from a passageway from the liquid storage container;

the electro-thermal ceramic heating element having a heating coating on a wall of the electro-thermal ceramic heating element; and
