POD ASSEMBLY, DISPENSING BODY, AND E-VAPOR APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

An e-vapor apparatus may include a pod assembly and a dispensing body configured to receive the pod assembly. A vaporizer may be disposed in the pod assembly and/or the dispensing body. The pod assembly may include a vapor precursor compartment, a device compartment, and a vapor channel extending from the device compartment and traversing the vapor precursor compartment. The pod assembly is a smart pod configured to receive, store, and transmit information that can be communicated with the dispensing body and/or another electronic device. The proximal portion of the dispensing body includes a vapor passage and a through-hole. The vapor passage may extend from an end surface of the proximal portion to a side wall of the through-hole. The through-hole is configured to receive the pod assembly such that the vapor channel of the pod assembly is aligned with the vapor passage of the dispensing body.

主权项

1. An e-vapor apparatus comprising:
a pod assembly including a vapor precursor compartment, a device compartment, and a vapor channel extending from the device compartment and traversing the vapor precursor compartment, the vapor precursor compartment configured to hold a vapor precursor therein; a dispensing body including a proximal portion and an opposing distal portion, the proximal portion including a vapor passage and a through-hole, the vapor passage extending from an end surface of the proximal portion to a side wall of the through-hole, the through-hole being between the vapor passage and the distal portion of the dispensing body, the through-hole configured to receive the pod assembly; and a vaporizer disposed in at least one of the pod assembly and the dispensing body, the vapor precursor compartment of the pod assembly configured to be in fluidic communication with the vaporizer during an operation of the e-vapor apparatus such that the vapor precursor from the vapor precursor compartment comes into thermal contact with the vaporizer, the vaporizer configured to heat the vapor precursor to produce a vapor that passes through the pod assembly via the vapor channel, the through-hole of the dispensing body configured to receive the pod assembly such that the vapor channel of the pod assembly is aligned with the vapor passage of the dispensing body so as to facilitate a delivery of the vapor through the vapor passage of the dispensing body.
