Method for creating and distributing vapor for game hunting

Abstract

A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.

         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the heating element and supply of vaporizable liquid scent material are carried by an electric vaporizer and wherein the powered airflow generator is carried by a base and further comprising the step of removably mounting the electric vaporizer to the base. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the step of removably mounting the electric vaporizer to the base includes the step of inserting a portion of the electric vaporizer into a recess defined by the base. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 4 , further comprising the step of using a sensor to activate the powering of the heating element when the vapor distribution airflow is being delivered to the airflow channel. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising the step of using a timer to activate and deactivate the delivery of the vapor distribution airflow. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising the step of using a remote control to activate and deactivate the delivery of the vapor distribution airflow. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of using a sensor to activate the powering of the heating element when the vapor distribution airflow is being delivered to the airflow channel. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of using a timer to activate and deactivate the delivery of the vapor distribution airflow. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of using a remote control to activate and deactivate the delivery of the vapor distribution airflow. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of removing and replacing the supply of liquid scent material. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the heating element is carried by the supply of liquid scent material and further comprising the step of removing and replacing the heating element with the supply of liquid scent material. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the step of removing and reusing the heating element. 
     
     
         16 . A method of creating and distributing vapor for use while hunting game; the method comprising the steps of:
 powering a heating element in communication with a supply of vaporizable liquid scent material and an airflow channel; the vaporizable liquid scent material including at least one animal lure aromatic material and at least one of a propylene glycol and a vegetable glycerin; the animal lure aromatic material including at least one of a dehydrated animal urine material and a dehydrated glandular secretion material;   vaporizing liquid scent material from the supply of vaporizable liquid scent material into a vapor disposed in the airflow channel; and   distributing the vapor from the airflow channel with a vapor distribution airflow.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the step of removing and replacing the supply of liquid scent material. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the heating element is carried by the supply of liquid scent material and further comprising the step of removing and replacing the heating element with the supply of liquid scent material. 
     
     
         19 . A method of creating and distributing vapor for use while hunting game; the method comprising the steps of:
 powering a heating element in communication with a supply of vaporizable liquid material and an airflow channel; the vaporizable liquid material including at least one scent elimination material and at least one of a propylene glycol and a vegetable glycerin;   vaporizing liquid material from the supply of vaporizable liquid material into a vapor disposed in the airflow channel; and   distributing the vapor from the airflow channel with a vapor distribution airflow.
