CONSUMABLES HEATED WITHOUT COMBUSTION
A disposable consumable with tobacco, hemp and/or cannabis therein is heated in a receivor allowing conduction and convection. The consumable when inserted into a heating chamber via a receivor and a spacer formed on the consumable separates a portion of the consumable from the receivor wall forming one or more regions of air. In some instances slots or uneven portions of the spacer form air passageways with in the receivor between the consumable and the receivor inner wall.
1 . A disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor comprising:
a cylindrical consumable cartridge with an inhalation end, containment end containing one or more of tobacco, hemp and cannabis and one or more spacers extending the cross sectional diameter of at least a portion of the exterior of said consumable; and,
wherein the extended exterior diameter is sufficient to orient the consumable within a receivor whereby at least a portion of the consumable containment is separated from the inner annular wall of the receivor.
2 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 1 , wherein:
the spacer encircles less than the entire circumference of the consumable; and,
a slot where the spacer is not encircling the consumable forms an airflow pathway.
3 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 1 , wherein the spacer extends an uneven height from the consumable towards the receivor inner wall and the lower height portions form airflow pathway.
4 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 1 , wherein:
the spacer is thermally conductive; and,
a region of material including at least one of a flavor filter, flavoring, flavor within tobacco compounds and other flavor within non-tobacco compounds is positioned inside consumable in thermal communication with the conductive spacer.
5 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein the one or more spacers encircles at least 40% of the consumable.
6 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein at least two airflow pathways are formed.
7 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein the one or more spacers encircles at least 50% of the consumable.
8 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein the one or more spacers encircles at least 60% of the consumable.
9 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein the one or more spacers encircles at least 70% of the consumable.
10 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein the one or more spacers encircles at least 80% of the consumable.
11 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein the one or more spacers encircles at least 90% of the consumable.
12 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein a spacer is positioned adjacent to the containment end of the consumable.
13 . The disposable consumable configured to spatially orient the consumable in a receivor of claim 2 , wherein a spacer is positioned adjacent to the inhalation end of the consumable.
14 . A disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor comprising:
a cylindrical consumable cartridge with an inhalation end, containment end containing material which is at least one of tobacco, hemp and cannabis; and,
one or more portions of the consumable are frangible and configured to bend inward when passing over a protrusion within or adjacent to a receivor to form a space for a volume of air.
15 . The disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor of claim 14 , wherein the one or more frangible portions remain bent inward after being affected by said protrusion.
16 . The disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor of claim 14 , further comprising one or more spacers extending at least a portion of the exterior diameter of said consumable.
17 . The disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor of claim 16 , wherein the extended exterior diameter is sufficient to orient the consumable within a receivor whereby at least a portion of the consumable containment end is separated from an inner annular wall of a receivor.
18 . The disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor of claim 16 , wherein:
the spacer encircles less than the entire circumference of the consumable; and,
the partial encirclement is configured to form an airflow channel between the consumable and an inner wall of a receivor.
19 . The disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor of claim 18 , wherein the channel is one of straight and serpentine.
20 . The disposable consumable configured to deform upon insertion into a duct or receivor of claim 14 , further comprising a divider located at a distal end of the material and a filter located within the inhalation end.
