Abstract

A USB electronic cigarette has an atomizer section. The atomizer section has a heat chamber configured to receive liquid from a fluid reservoir. A USB connector is formed on the atomizer section. The USB connector includes a USB socket mounted to the atomizer section. A battery section is releasable and detachable from the atomizer section at the USB connector. The USB connector includes a USB protrusion configured to fit into the USB socket. The USB protrusion is mounted to the battery section. A rechargeable battery is housed within the battery section and configured to be recharged via the USB protrusion. A user is provided a smokable USB stick that is USB rechargeable.

Claims (16)

1. A USB electronic cigarette comprising:

a. an atomizer section, wherein the atomizer section has a heat chamber configured to receive liquid from a fluid reservoir;

b. a USB connector formed on the atomizer section, wherein the USB connector includes a USB socket mounted to the atomizer section;

c. a battery section, wherein the battery section is releasable and detachable from the atomizer section at the USB connector, wherein the USB connector includes a USB protrusion configured to fit into the USB socket, wherein the USB protrusion is mounted to the battery section, wherein a rechargeable battery is housed within the battery section and configured to be recharged via the USB protrusion, whereby a user is provided a smokable USB stick that is USB rechargeable; and

further including an atomizer housing that has battery section openings configured to receive intake air, wherein the intake air passes through a battery section air channel and exits the battery section at a battery section air passage, wherein air exiting the battery section air passage enters the atomizer section at an atomizer section air channel, wherein air exiting the atomizer section air channel enters a heat chamber.

2. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 1 , further including an atomizer housing that has atomizer section openings configured to receive intake air.

3. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 1 , further including a lens mounted on a battery section opening that is formed on a lower tip of the battery section, wherein an indicator light is mounted to be visible through on the battery section opening.

4. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 3 , wherein the indicator light is selectively activated when an airflow sensor transducer senses airflow near the airflow sensor.

5. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the airflow sensor is a transducer.

6. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein the transducer is a microphone or air pressure sensor.

7. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the battery section further includes a USB memory chip for storing data.

8. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 7 , further including an atomizer housing that has atomizer section openings configured to receive intake air.

9. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 7 , further including a lens mounted on a battery section opening that is formed on a lower tip of the battery section, wherein an indicator light is mounted to be visible through on the battery section opening.

10. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 9 , wherein the indicator light is selectively activated when an airflow sensor transducer senses airflow near the airflow sensor.

11. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 10 , wherein the airflow sensor is a transducer.

12. The USB electronic cigarette of claim 11 , wherein the transducer is a microphone or air pressure sensor.
