Handheld vaping implement
View Patent ↗A vaping device with quick release interchangeable cartridge is disclosed for atomizing and discharging a composition as a mist for inhalation. The detachable cartridge comprises an atomizer, a transparent reservoir and elongated conductors, and is adapted to quickly attach and detach from an ovoid body using a friction fit or magnetic fit.
1. A vaping apparatus for dispensing of a composition, the vaping apparatus comprising:
body comprising a rechargeable battery and a depressible triggering mechanism, the body defining a hollow interior recess and an open top end defining a track within which a protuberance travels;
a detachable, interchangeable cartridge adapted to insert into the open top end, the cartridge detachably engageable with the body, the detachable interchangeable cartridge comprising:
a transparent reservoir having reservoir exterior surfacing, the transparent reservoir defining two conductor channels running longitudinally;
a base affixed to the transparent reservoir comprising a protuberance, the base having exterior surfacing recessed inwardly from the reservoir exterior surfacing, the base adapted to insert into the open top end;
two elongated, metal conductors each positioned within one of the conductor channels;
a ceramic wick adapted to direct fluid housed within the transparent reservoir to a piezo plate;
the piezo plate disposed above the ceramic wick; and
a frustoconical tip having an open top end positioned above the transparent reservoir.
2. The vaping apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a USB charging port.
3. The vaping apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a tray inserted into the hollow interior recess adapted to secure the power supply and a triggering mechanism, the tray having a planar top surface defining two or more apertures and a hollow cylindrical recess.
4. The vaping apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of magnets disposed across the top surface of the tray and the base adapted to form a magnetic fit between the tray and the detachable cartridge.
5. The vaping apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the tray further comprises a plurality of threaded protuberances adapted to affix the tray to other components.
6. The vaping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the body is fabricated from a metal alloy.
7. The vaping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an outlet of the vaping apparatus comprises an atomizer nozzle.
