Abstract
An electronic vaporizer is provided. The electronic vaporizer includes a cartridge that facilitates provision of a vaporized solution to an individual. The cartridge includes a housing that includes an interior, wherein the housing is one of a polymer housing or a ceramic housing. The cartridge also includes a heating element located in the interior of the housing, wherein the heating element is configured to vaporize a solution for oral provision to the individual. The vaporizer may also include a power harvesting device operative to acquire energy from the environment for use with powering the heating element.
Claims (9)
1. A cartridge configured to mechanically and electrically couple to a power source of an electronic vaporizer, the cartridge comprising;
a housing having an interior and a solution holding reservoir configured to hold a liquid solution, the housing having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end, the housing having a first aperture at the first end and a second aperture at a center of the second end, the housing configured to releasably mechanically couple to the power source, the housing having two conductive elements at the first end of the housing to electrically couple to the power source when the housing is mechanically coupled with the power source, at least a portion of each of the two conductive elements residing in an interior of the housing, the first aperture and the second aperture in communication with one another to permit an airflow from the first aperture to the second aperture at least partially through an airflow passageway of the housing, the airflow passageway extending at least partially through a center of the housing, and the solution holding reservoir surrounding at least a portion of the airflow passageway; and
a resistive heating element located in the interior of the housing, the resistive heating element extending substantially perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the housing, the resistive heating element located in an airflow path between the first aperture and the second aperture such that the airflow passes on both transverse sides of the resistive heating element during use of the electronic vaporizer; and
a wicking material configured to draw the liquid solution held by the solution holding reservoir toward the resistive heating element, the resistive heating element electrically coupled with the two conductive elements and configured to vaporize at least a portion of the liquid solution for oral provision to an individual in the airflow, the resistive heating element responsive to electrical power received from the power source.
2. The cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the housing is configured to releasably mechanically couple to the power source via a snap connection.
3. The cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the resistive heating element is a helical resistive heating element.
4. The cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the resistive heating element is located between opposite sides of the solution holding reservoir.
5. The cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the wicking material extends from the solution holding reservoir to the resistive heating element, and the wicking material is configured to channel the liquid solution through the wicking material from the solution holding reservoir to the resistive heating element.
6. The cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the wicking material comprises a fibrous bundle.
