Abstract
An electronic cigarette comprises nicotine without harmful tar. The cigarette includes a shell, a cell, nicotine solution, control circuit, and an electro-thermal vaporization nozzle installed in the air suction end of the shell. The advantages are smoking without tar, reducing the risk of cancer, the user still gets a smoking experience, the cigarette is not lit, and there is no fire danger.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An atomizer for an electronic cigarette, comprising:
an enclosure; a wire heater coil within the enclosure; the enclosure having an inlet; and the enclosure having an outlet to allow vapor, formed within the enclosure by liquid contacting the wire heater coil, to flow out of the enclosure.
2 . The atomizer of claim 1 with the enclosure comprising a fiber material.
3 . The atomizer of claim 1 with the inlet at one end of the enclosure and the outlet at an opposite end of the enclosure
4 . The atomizer of claim 1 with the enclosure comprising a substantially cylindrical tube.
5 . The atomizer of claim 1 further comprising a base attached to the enclosure.
6 . The atomizer of claim 5 with the inlet at least partially in the base.
7 . The atomizer of claim 5 wherein the base is cylindrical.
8 . The atomizer of claim 7 with the inlet extending through the cylindrical base.
9 . The atomizer of claim 5 further comprising screw threads on the base.
10 . The atomizer of claim 4 with the tube having an inner diameter of 0.05 to 2 mm.
11 . The atomizer of claim 4 with the tube having a length of 3-20 mm.
12 . The atomizer of claim 1 further comprising a liquid tube connecting into the inlet, for providing liquid into the enclosure.
13 . An atomizer for an electronic cigarette, comprising:
a tube having a liquid inlet; a wire heater coil within the tube; the tube having a vapor outlet to allow vapor, formed within the enclosure by liquid contacting the wire heater coil, to flow out of the tube.
14 . The atomizer of claim 13 with the tube comprising a fiber material.
15 . The atomizer of claim 13 with the liquid inlet at a first end of the tube and with the vapor outlet comprising an opening at a second end of the tube.
16 . The atomizer of claim 13 with a longitudinal axis of the wire heater coil substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tube.
17 . The atomizer of claim 13 further comprising a base attached to the tube, with the liquid inlet extending through the base.Cited by (0)
