Vaporizers with cartridges with open sided chamber
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein are methods and systems to vaporize extract, plant material containing organic material and the like, including a removable carriage with a chamber having an annular wall with and an open side within the removable carriage. The chamber having at least one intake inlet fluidly connected with the chamber and at least one outlet configured to connect the chamber to an inhalation opening. The carriage fits into a base which includes a controller and power supply. The base provides at least two heating elements oriented to cover the open side of the chamber when the carriage is fully inserted, an insulator separating the two heating elements; and, two temperature sensors each one in thermal contact with a heating element and in signal communication with the controller.
1. A vaporizer system comprising:
a removable carriage comprising;
a chamber having an annular wall with and an open side within the removable carriage;
at least one intake inlet fluidly connected with the chamber;
a tributary pathway configured to connect the chamber to an inhalation opening;
a base comprising;
a receiver interface which opens into a cartridge guide to receive a carriage;
a controller and power supply within base;
an on/off switch;
at least two heating elements oriented to cover the open side of the chamber when the carriage is fully inserted;
an insulator separating the two heating elements; and,
two temperature sensors each one in thermal contact with a heating element and in signal communication with the controller.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the chamber is preferably an insulator.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the chamber is formed of quartz glass or high alumina ceramic.
4. The system of claim 1 further comprising an insulative layer 315 ′ surrounding the chamber.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the temperature sensor is connected to the controller and the controller in response to temperature sensor measurements sequentially turns on or off each heating elements to reach and maintain a SET.
6. The system of claim 5 further comprising an illumination communications system controlled by the controller visible from the exterior of the case.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to vary the duty cycle of the PWM heating of at least one heating element.
8. The system of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to sequentially vary the duty cycle of the PWM heating of each heating element.
9. A method of vaporization with reduced combustion, the method comprising:
inserting plant material into a chamber;
wherein the chamber is part of a removable carriage and the chamber is open on one side;
the chamber has fluid connection forming intakes and outlets from said chamber;
placing at least two heating elements to cover the open side of the chamber;
an insulator separating the two heating elements; and,
placing two temperature sensors each one in thermal contact with a heating element and in signal communication with a controller;
in the “on” state controlling the heating of each heater via the controller by separately heating each heater to a SET and then switching to heat the other heater to a SET; and,
inhaling on an inhalation opening to draw vapor from the chamber through fluid outlet.
10. The method of claim 9 , the method further comprising choosing the SET to heat the heating elements to via an input.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the state of SET is communicated via an illumination means.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the state of SET is communicated via an illumination means.
