LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTRONIC VAPORIZATION DEVICE AND METHODS

摘要

Low temperature electronic vaporization devices and method are described herein for emulating smoking wherein the devices generate an aerosol for inhalation by a subject by heating a viscous material that can have a tactile response in the mouth or respiratory tract.

主权项

1. A hand-held device for generating an inhalable vapor comprising:
an elongate body having a distal end and a proximal end; a vaporization chamber at a proximal end of the elongate body configured to hold a vaporizable material therein; a heater in communication with the vaporization chamber, wherein the heater is configured to heat the vaporizable material by combined convection and conduction to generate an inhalable vapor; a detachable lid over the vaporization chamber, wherein the detachable lid is screwed onto the vaporization chamber; a mouthpiece, wherein the mouthpiece is movable from a retracted position when not in use to an extended position away from the elongate body for use; a controller configured to allow a user to select an operating temperature of the vaporization chamber from a plurality of temperature settings between 100° C. and 200° C.; a vibrational indicator configured to vibrate to report information about the state of the device, including indicating when the device is turned on, turned off, and when the device has reached the operating temperature; and one or more light-emitting diode (LED) indicators configured to indicate when the device is turned on and when the device has reached the operating temperature.
