Reservoir for use in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens

Abstract

A reservoir for inhalant product used in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens is provided which incorporates a convex or conical smooth bottom wall catch basin that, combined with a dual wick design, ensures that substantially all the inhalant product is directed to the wicks for maximum consumability of the inhalant product. Therefore, regardless of how much or how little oil/liquid inhalant product is remaining in the reservoir or the position of the reservoir, it is always being directed toward at least one wick so there is substantially no unusable space in the reservoir where product can collect and not be useable.

1 . In a reservoir for holding inhalant product for use in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens, the improvement comprising:
 replacing a flat bottom wall of the reservoir with a smooth convex bottom wall catch basin within which substantially all inhalant product is contained, and   providing dual wicks which are positioned diametrically opposite each other and are both engaged to a vaporization element for use in vaporizing the inhalant product.   
     
     
         2 . The reservoir of  claim 1  wherein the catch basin and dual wicks provide for use of substantially all of the inhalant product without waste. 
     
     
         3 . The reservoir of  claim 1  wherein the diametric positioning of the wicks provides for at least one wick being in contact with the inhalant product regardless of the position of reservoir and keeping the wicks from degrading or drying out and creating a burned taste. 
     
     
         4 . The reservoir of  claim 1  wherein the smooth convex bottom wall catch basin is made of silicone. 
     
     
         5 . The reservoir of  claim 1  wherein the smooth convex bottom wall catch basin is conical. 
     
     
         6 . A reservoir for holding inhalant product for use in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens, the reservoir comprising:
 a smooth convex bottom wall catch basin within which substantially all inhalant product is contained, and   dual wicks positioned diametrically opposite each other and both engaged to a vaporization element for use in vaporizing the inhalant product.   
     
     
         7 . The reservoir of  claim 6  wherein the catch basin and dual wicks provide for use of substantially all of the inhalant product without waste. 
     
     
         8 . The reservoir of  claim 6  wherein the diametric positioning of the wicks provides for at least one wick being in contact with the inhalant product regardless of the position of reservoir and keeping the wicks from degrading or drying out and creating a burned taste. 
     
     
         9 . The reservoir of  claim 6  wherein the smooth convex bottom wall catch basin is made of silicone. 
     
     
         10 . The reservoir of  claim 6  wherein the smooth convex bottom wall catch basin is conical.
