ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE CONFIGURED TO SIMULATE THE FILTER OF A TRADITIONAL CIGARETTE
The present disclosure generally relates to electronic cigarette components. As will be disclosed, an electronic cigarette may have a fully enclosed and continuous filter section that simulates the look of the filter of a traditional tobacco cigarette.
1 . An electronic cigarette comprising:
a conduit adapted to contain internal components of an electronic cigarette device; and
a filter section located within a proximal end of the conduit;
wherein the filter section comprises a porous material dimensioned to allow vapor passage therethrough; and
wherein the porous material is continuous across an entire surface diameter thereof.
2 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 wherein the porous material comprises an acidic fiber.
3 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 wherein the porous material directly contacts an interior surface of the conduit.
4 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 wherein the filter section comprises:
a housing inserted into the proximal end of the conduit; and a porous material positioned within the housing.
5 . The electronic cigarette of claim 3 wherein the porous material frictionally engages the interior of the conduit.
6 . The electronic cigarette of claim 4 wherein the housing frictionally engages the interior of the conduit.
7 . The electronic cigarette of claim 3 wherein the porous material is disk shaped.
8 . The electronic cigarette of claim 4 wherein the porous material is disk shaped.
9 . The electronic cigarette of claim 4 wherein the housing is comprised of silicon.
10 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 wherein the conduit is comprised of polycarbonate.
11 . An electronic cigarette comprising:
a conduit adapted to contain internal components of an electronic cigarette device; and
a filter section located within a proximal end of the conduit;
wherein the filter section comprises a porous material dimensioned to allow vapor passage;
wherein the porous material is continuous across an entire surface diameter thereof;
wherein the porous material comprises an acidic fiber; and
wherein the porous material directly contacts an interior surface of the conduit.
12 . The electronic cigarette of claim 11 wherein the porous material frictionally engages the interior of the conduit.
13 . The electronic cigarette of claim 11 wherein the porous material is disk shaped.

15 . An electronic cigarette comprising:
a conduit adapted to contain internal components of an electronic cigarette device; and
a filter section located within a proximal end of the conduit;
wherein the filter section comprises:
a housing inserted into the proximal end of the conduit; and a porous material positioned within the housing;
wherein the filter section comprises a porous material dimensioned to allow vapor passage;
wherein the porous material is continuous across an entire surface diameter thereof;
wherein the porous material comprises an acidic fiber; and
wherein the porous material directly contacts an interior surface of the conduit.
16 . The electronic cigarette of claim 15 wherein the housing frictionally engages the interior of the conduit.
17 . The electronic cigarette of claim 15 wherein the porous material is disk shaped.
18 . The electronic cigarette of claim 15 wherein the housing is comprised of silicon.
