Abstract
An atomizer for vaporizing concentrated substances wherein a conjunctive airflow system located at the lower portion of the atomizer, which when attached to a regulated power source by the industry standard, universal 510 thread system, allows a user to inhale vapor from a mouthpiece. During inhalation air is drawn through a conjunctive airflow system wherein the temperature of the ambient air is conditioned and is drawn into the replacement atomizer through a plurality of air holes through the ceramic heating chamber and then through the exhaust holes of the ceramic heating chamber. As air enters the ceramic heating chamber, it passes around a coil. The coil is a smaller gauge coil than used in the industry and was achieved by converting the coil to have larger gauge leads. As air enters the narrowed ceramic heating chamber it passes around the coil to regulate the temperature of the coil and also to draw the vapor into the reclaim safety cap, where the splatter is captured by the reclaim safety cup to be re-used and the vapor travels around the cup through the plurality of slots around the reclaim safety cup and enters the mouthpiece drip tip and is then inhaled by the user. The conjunctive airflow system is designed to manipulate the temperature in order to enhance the vaping experience. The user can simply separate the conjunctive airflow system from the mouthpiece and the reclaim safety cap and replacement atomizer and place the conjunctive airflow base near a heating source to pre-warm the conjunctive airflow system, or the user may pre-cool the conjunctive airflow base and the reclaim safety cap and place them near a cooling source such as an air conditioning unit, refrigerator, or freezer to cool the vapor.

In the preferred embodiment, the user has access to sections of the device to allow the user to clean the parts that accumulate residue and replace components. In the present embodiment, the sections include the mouthpiece drip tip secured by a friction fitted o-ring; the reclaim safety cap secured by two friction-fitted o-rings on the conjunctive airflow base; and a replacement atomizer comprising the atomizer body comprising a 510 male threaded connection in the base, a non-conductive cup shaped structure narrowed on two interior sides and comprises exit holes for the coil wire leads and intake air holes and which holds the heating coil and heating rod, which are assembled by friction fit to a safety ring. In the interior of the male threads of the replacement atomizer, there is a positive metal pin fitted assembled by friction fit into an insulator also assembled by friction fit; the conjunctive airflow base which is assembled by friction fit to the 510 male threaded deck and within the interior wall of the threads are the positive metal pin and insulator which are fitted by friction. The replacement atomizer body's positive metal pin makes contact with the positive metal pin located within the threads of the industry standard, universal 510 deck.
[0065] In current art as in the present embodiment, 510 male threads denote a threaded stem located at the center of the base of the atomizer that allows the user to attach the device to universal threads on a regulated power source containing the female receiver section. The outside of the 510 connector threads of the replacement atomizer body act as the ground or negative pole of the circuit and each center positive metal pin acts as the positive connection. On each male and female section of the 510 threads there are corresponding components
[0066] When the device is connected by the universal 510 male threads to the female threads of a regulated power source, the user's hand holds the regulated power source. A compatible regulated power source is defined as one that contains the female threads to accept the 510 male threaded connection of the present device. As to power supply, a conventional or readily available power supply is made by LostVape Company, and the chipset within the power supply unit is manufactured by several companies, among the best known is EVOLV. The regulated power supply unit comprises a 3.7 volt rechargeable battery; a fire/power button; power and temperature setting controls and a regulated power controller. regulated power source temperature settings.
[0067] In the preferred embodiment, the device may be constructed of steel which is a metal known to retain heat in the interior while maintaining a thermally non-conductive temperature on the exterior. In other embodiments materials that retain heat while maintaining a cool exterior may be used such as ceramic, coated metals, and composites. The material used in the present embodiment is selected for its durability and ability to maintain temperature internally so that it does not convey the heat to the outside surface of the device.
[0068] In the present embodiment, the device comprises a detachable mouthpiece drip tip, from which the user draws the vapor. The mouthpiece drip tip through which the vapor flows when the user places his mouth around the opening and by inhaling or drawing as the vapor passes from the heating coil around the slots of in the reclaim safety cap and into the user's mouth. In the present embodiment, the mouthpiece drip tip comprises openings at the top and bottom, which promote air flow from the interior of the device. The vapor produced is the primary purpose of the device disclosed herein. The mouthpiece drip tip is an exterior aspect of the device and is seated by an o-ring when inserted into the reclaim safety cap. The o-ring may be manufactured of rubber or silicone or other insulating materials
[0069] In the present embodiment, the mouthpiece drip tip contains a groove in the bottom portion for an o-ring to secure the mouthpiece drip tip into the top of the reclaim safety cap.
[0070] In the present embodiment, the device comprises a reclaim safety cap, which contains a sufficient number of slots concentrifically placed inside the perimeter of the recessed cup and suspended by three arms so as to permit the vapor, but not solid matter, to pass through to the mouthpiece drip tip and into the user's mouth when inhaling. In the present embodiment, the device comprises a recessed cup within the reclaim safety cap so that it may capture the splatter from heating concentrate from the heating coil. In the preferred embodiment, the reclaim safety cap separates from the other parts of the device in order for the user to chill and bring down the temperature of said reclaim safety cap in order for the users who have breathing issues to further achieve a cooler vapor and works in conjunction with the pre-cooling of the conjunctive airflow base. The reclaim safety cap is seated by two o-rings when disposed on the conjunctive airflow base. The o-rings may be manufactured of rubber or silicone.
[0071] In the present embodiment, the replacement atomizer body comprises the following components: a heating coil with welded leads, a heating rod inserted into the coil; a ceramic heating chamber; a 510 threaded male connection in the base; a safety ring to secure the contents within the replacement atomizer body, an insulator, and a metal pin. The body of the replacement atomizer has two air inlet holes slightly recessed located above the said threaded connection.
[0072] The reader should note that there are two threaded connections contained in the device. One threaded connection is contained in the 510 deck which houses the conjunctive airflow base of the present device and the second threaded connection is contained in the replacement atomizer body. The outside male threads in the 510 deck of the conjunctive airflow base of the present device connect to compatible female threads of a regulated power source.
[0073] In the present embodiment, in the event of failure of the heating coil from overuse, high temperatures, or electrical bursts, the replacement atomizer is removable and can be replaced with a proprietary replacement atomizer manufactured to fit the configuration of the present device.
[0074] In the present embodiment, a safety ring is installed and fitted by friction on the top of the replacement atomizer body for the final assembly to hold the heating coil and ceramic heating chamber securely in place.
[0075] In the present embodiment, the function of the positive and negative connection is to complete the electrical circuit from the regulated power source up and into the heating coil of the present device. Positive pins within the interior wall of the exterior threads of the replacement atomizer and 510 deck all have the same function which is to allow the flow of current from the regulated power source to a heating coil.
[0076] In one embodiment, the heating wire is tightly wound to form a coil and a heating rod is inserted in the heating coil. In the preferred embodiment, the heating rod is constructed of quartz crystal which is more of an inert material which means substances burn cleaner and which improves the flavor of the vapor. The heating coil consists of two wire leads which complete the negative and positive electrical circuit.
[0077] The heating coil converts electrical energy into heat. Vaporizing substances requires both sufficient heat and airflow. The size of the heating coil and the amount and temperature of the airflow determine the amount of vapor produced, e.g., the larger the heating coil surface and the greater the airflow, the greater the production of vapor. The heating coil which has two wire leads welded to the ends of the coil, passes through two holes in the ceramic heating chamber. The heating coil should be capable of heating to temperatures of above 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
[0078] In the preferred embodiment, the heating coil is constructed of single wire or a plurality of wires of varying shapes is tightly wound around a rod in the shape of the heating rod into a coil shape and may be constructed out of any conductive material such as kanthal wire, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, ceramic, or a composite metal wire suitable to vaporize substances applied directly to the heating coil at regulated temperatures.. In the present embodiment, the coil is reconstructed. The reconstructed two coil leads from each respective end of the heating coil are inserted into one of the two exit holes of the ceramic heating chamber. The wire leads from the heating coil make contact with a positive metal pin located in the base of the replacement atomizer and the atomizer body threads.
[0079] In the present embodiment, the replacement atomizer body comprises a heating coil surrounding a quartz rod, but not limited to that material. Inserted into the center of the heating coil and used to create more heating surface when installed into the heating coil.
[0080] In the preferred embodiment, the ceramic heating chamber is narrowed on two sides of the interior of the cup-like structure. In the preferred embodiment, in the bottom inside of the ceramic heating chamber, there are four holes, each hole surrounded by a raised surface to inhibit the concentrate from leaking through the four holes. In the preferred embodiment, the two small outer holes are for the leads of the heating coil and the two inner larger diameter holes are to accommodate the air flow directly underneath the heating coil. In the preferred embodiment, the larger air intake holes manipulate the coil temperature and force the vapor into the reclaim safety cap.
[0081] In the present embodiment, the positive metal pin located in the said 510 thread system of the replacement atomizer body is a conductive metal, sometimes gold plated, silver or copper material, and part of the industry standard to fit an industry standard, universal 510 threaded system.
[0082] In the preferred embodiment, the purpose of the insulator located within the interior of the threads is to separate the negative and positive leads from the coil. One lead is inserted into the center of the insulator while the other lead is inserted on the outside of the insulator. In the present embodiment, as in current art, the insulator is inserted into the interior wall of the universal, industry standard 510 threaded opening and secured by friction fitting, and when the positive metal pin is inserted by friction fitting, the insulator keeps the positive metal pin secured in place and forces the center lead wire up against the positive metal pin and the outside of the insulator is pressing the other lead onto the atomizer body which is the negative connection.
[0083] In the present embodiment, the conjunctive airflow base is the main section having a plurality holes on the side of the lower part of the base which fills up the first chamber with ambient air for the air to be conditioned. Then there are a plurality of holes above in the second chamber where the air comes in and changes direction from the first chamber. The inner wall in the second chamber where the air comes in is slightly recessed and the inner holes are up against that recess wall so it's forcing the air to interact with the metal as much as possible to condition it before changing direction and going to the two holes in the replacement atomizer.
[0084] In the present embodiment, the air inlets located on the side of the exterior of the conjunctive airflow base are covered by an adjustable air ring that rotates 360 degrees around the conjunctive airflow chamber air inlets to regulate airflow based upon user preference. Once the desired air flow is achieved, the adjustable air ring is held in place by an o-ring. The adjustable air ring is held in place by the said 510 deck which is friction fitted to the conjunctive airflow base.
[0085] In the present embodiment, incoming airflow may be incrementally stepped up or reduced so that a user may adjust the quantity of incoming ambient air based upon personal preference by rotating the adjustable air ring. The airflow is determined by whether the user selects to expose to expose a plurality of holes. In the present embodiment, by selecting a lesser number of holes, the user is constricting the flow of incoming ambient air providing less air into the conjunctive airflow chamber. The selection of a lesser number of openings produces less air flow, and thus a hotter vapor. Allowing in more ambient air by selecting a greater number of open holes, provides a cooler vapor. The adjustable air ring in the present embodiment is what enables a user to achieve the desired temperature, combined with the the regulated power source settings for the temperature of the coil.
[0086] In the present embodiment, a user may prefer additional incoming ambient air due to lung sensitivity issues such as C.O.P.D, and an increased airflow produces a cooler vapor. A user who prefers what is known as a hotter vapor may adjust the incoming air inlets on the outside to limit the incoming air from 1 holes open at one time to a plurality of open holes. Airflow is required to bring vapor to the user's mouth and also to keep the substance and the coil from overheating. The present embodiment permits the user to adapt airflow quantity and temperature of the vapor to their needs.
[0087] The present embodiment enables users with sensitive lung issues to inhale a cooler vapor. Water pipes are still commonly used to cool the combustible substance and dry herb where the user could add either water or water and/or ice. The present embodiment is designed to have a means to condition the air before it reaches the coil. In the preferred embodiment, this device enables the user to cool or pre-chill the conjunctive airflow chamber without adversely affecting the heating coil. In the present embodiment, the user may separate the conjunctive airflow base and the reclaim safety cap from the other parts and place them near a cooling source, e.g., air conditioner, refrigerator or freezer in order to chill the interior air space of the conjunctive airflow base. The reclaim safety cap when chilled also enhances the cooling of the vapor because the reclaim safety cap has a suspended recessed cup above the coil which restricts the air from going directly through to the mouthpiece and causes it to wrap around the outer perimeter of the reclaim safety cup and is further chilled as it goes up and through the thin slots and comes up through the mouthpiece drip tip to the user's mouth to continue inhaling.
[0088] In the present embodiment, to achieve what is called a hot vape, the user may pre-heat the conjunctive airflow base utilizing the regulated power source by exhaling air to the mouthpiece which reverses the flow of air as the air passes around the coil which the coil may exceed temperatures of 600 degrees Fahrenheit the air flow will then travel through the conjunctive airflow system pre-warming it. The user would exhale for 15 or more seconds depending upon the desired temperature of the conjunctive airflow base. Or the user may use an heating external source, such as a hair dryer or heater, or To the user may Once the conjunctive airflow base is either pre-warmed or pre-cooled, based upon the user determination, the atomizer will achieve different results. The purpose of a hot vape is to release certain chemicals at certain boiling points and the reaction of those chemicals.
[0089] In the present embodiment, there is an o-ring groove located at the bottom of the Conjunctive airflow base to secure the adjustable air ring in place The o-ring is located below the plurality of air inlet holes on the side of the conjunctive airflow base where there is a corresponding groove to hold the o-ring Once the conjunctive airflow base and the o-ring and the adjustable air ring are in place, the said 510 deck is fitted by friction to the bottom of the conjunctive air flow base keeping the air ring secured to the device and said o-ring keeps the adjustable air ring securely in place once the user rotates the adjustable air ring to desired air flow.
[0090] In the present embodiment, the upper air chamber of the conjunctive airflow base comprises female 510 threads to accommodate the installation of the corresponding 510 male threads of the replacement atomizer body, which completes the second conjunctive airflow section through two recessed air inlets located in the replacement atomizer body.
[0091] In the present embodiment, placed at the the top section } of the said 510 threaded deck is a round convex fitting that friction fits to the round convex fitting in the lower part of the conjunctive airflow base. In the present embodiment, stainless steel is used. In the present embodiment, the said 510 deck comprises an insulator, fitted by friction into the interior wall of the male threads of the 510 deck, and the positive metal pin is inserted, fitted by friction into the center of said insulator.
