Abstract

The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation includes two or more heating elements for vaporizing cannabis , tobacco, e-cigarette fluid and other inhalable materials. Includes a power source and two or more heating elements, each connected to a multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element that allows individual control of the duration and amount of heat applied to each heating element. Each heating element applies heat to one smokable material, which can be contained in a cartridge. The multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element can be a slide switch, push button, rotary encoder, pressure switch, infrared switch, a voice activated switch or a graphical user interface attached to a integrated circuit. The power source can be a battery.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation by a user comprising:

a first heating element for applying heat to a first smokable material to vaporize the first smokable material for inhalation, the first smokable material being contained in a first container;

a second heating element for applying heat to a second smokable material to vaporize the second smokable material for inhalation, the second smokable material being contained in a second container;

a power source; and

a controller to control the multi-heating element circuit switching element, wherein the circuit switching element is selected from the group consisting of a slide switch, one or more push buttons, a rotary encoder, a pressure switch, an infrared switch and a voice activated switch, the circuit switching element to control the first heating element and the second heating element, wherein the controller independently controls the duration and amount of heat for each of the first heating element and second heating element.

2. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 1 further comprising:

at least one additional heating element for applying heat to an additional smokable material to vaporize the additional smokable material for inhalation, the additional smokable material contained in an additional container, wherein each additional heating element applies heat to a additional smokable material wherein the additional smokable material is selected from the group consisting of: fluids, oils, juices, waxes, dabs, shatters, distillates, flowers, hashes, tobacco and plant matter;

and wherein the controller independently controls the duration and amount of heat for each of the additional heating elements.

3. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 1 wherein the first and second smokable material is selected from the group consisting of: fluids, oils, juices, waxes, dabs, shatters, distillates, flowers, hashes, tobacco and plant matter.

4. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 1 wherein the first and second materials are different.

5. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 1 wherein the power source is a battery.

6. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 1 wherein the first container and second container are a cartridge.

7. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 6 wherein the cartridges are attached to the vaporizer using a press-fit connection.

8. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 6 wherein the cartridges are attached to the vaporizer using a screw type connection.

9. The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation of claim 6 wherein the cartridges are attached to the vaporizer using a magnetic connection.
