Abstract

A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette bas a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

As previously discussed, the suction port insulator 112 is disposed between the main casing 1〇2 and the suction port U6. As can be seen in Figures 16-18, the suction port insulator 112 has a passageway 1121 that allows air and vaporized material to be drawn through the suction port insulator 112. Since the inlet insulator 112 is disposed between the main casing 1〇2 and the suction port 116, the suction port insulator 112 can electrically isolate the main casing 1〇2 from the suction port 116. Thus, in one embodiment, the suction port insulator 112 comprises or is made of a non-conductive material. This electrical isolation between the main housing 102 and the suction port i 16 allows detection of an electrical impedance change between the main housing 1 2 and the suction port 116. For example, one of the first conductive surfaces on the suction port 116 The first body portion of one of the individuals holding the personal vaporizer unit 100 can be configured to contact. A second electrically conductive surface on the main housing 102 (which is electrically isolated from the first electrically conductive surface by the suction port insulator 112) can be configured to contact a second body portion of the individual. The personal vaporizer unit 1 can then be activated in response to detecting a change in conductivity between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. In an embodiment, the conductivity change can include an impedance drop between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. In one embodiment, the germanium conductivity change can include a change in capacitance between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. The first body portion can be a finger. The second body portion can be a lip. The second body portion can be a second finger. In an embodiment, the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface are operable to transfer a charging current to the battery cartridge 4. The first and second conductive surfaces can also be used to transfer data to the personal vaporizer unit 1 or to transfer data from the personal steaming unit 156239.doc -13 - 201208721.

The main outer cover 160 is configured to fit within the main housing 102 via a friction fit. The main housing 16 has a number of apertures 166 that allow light generated by one of the light sources on the PC board 124 to pass. Once this light passes through the aperture 166, it can be coupled into the tube sleeve 14(R) where it conducts to a visible location on the exterior of the individual evaporator unit 100. Main housing 160 also has an aperture 165 that allows an electrical conductor (not shown) to extend from PC board 123 or PC board 124 through main housing 16A. The electrical conductor can be attached or connected to a heating element (not shown) which can assist in evaporating the substance to be inhaled by a user of the personal vaporizer unit 1 .
