Apparatus for ensuring adequate wicking rate of a vaping apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus for dispensing and conditioning vapor includes an atomizer, a container, a body, a mouth cap, and a wicking material. The atomizer atomizes a fluid. The container stores a fluid. The body includes a leading end portion, a trailing end portion, a second conduit, a plurality of inlet ports, and a plurality of outlet ports. The plurality of inlet ports define an opening between the body and the container. The mouth cap includes a leading end portion, a trailing end portion, and a third conduit. The wicking material supplies fluid to the atomizer and has a calculated wicking rate.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for dispensing and conditioning vapor, the apparatus comprising:
 an atomizer configured to atomize a fluid;   a container configured to store the fluid;   a body including:
 a leading end portion, a trailing end portion, and a second conduit; 
 a plurality of inlet ports defining an opening between the body and the container; and 
 a plurality of outlet ports; 
   a mouth cap including a leading end portion, a trailing end portion, and a third conduit; and   a wicking material, wherein the wicking material is configured to supply fluid to the atomizer and have a calculated wicking rate.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of inlet ports and outlet ports are configured to optimize flow of oil to the atomizer to ensure vapor production. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet ports and the outlet ports are configured in a square shape. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet ports are configured to enable an ingress of fluid into the body. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the outlet ports are configured to enable release of fluid from the body. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of inlet ports are configured so that a center of the inlet port is closer in distance to the inlet ports first outer edge and second outer edge. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the opening of each inlet port of the plurality of inlet ports is configured to ensure an adequate wicking rate of the wicking material based on a flow rate of the fluid. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising wicking material, wherein the wicking material is proximate to the atomizer, and wherein the wicking material is configured to supply fluid to the atomizer at a wicking rate. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the adequate wicking rate is when the wicking rate is approximately matched to the rate at which the fluid is atomized by the atomizer. 
     
     
         10 . An apparatus for ensuring complete saturation of an atomizer, comprising:
 a plurality of inlet ports, wherein each inlet port of the plurality of inlet ports has outer edges and a center, wherein a first distance between first outer edge and the center is shorter than a second distance between a second outer edge and the center;   a plurality of openings, each opening of the plurality of openings is defined by each inlet port of a plurality of inlet ports, defined between a body and a container storing fluid; and   a fluid supplied to the atomizer by a wicking material.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising wicking material, wherein the wicking material is proximate to the atomizer; and
 the wicking material is configured to supply fluid to the atomizer at an adequate wicking rate.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the adequate wicking rate is when the wicking rate is approximately matched to the rate at which the fluid is atomized by the atomizer. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the opening of each inlet port of the plurality of inlet ports is configured to ensure an adequate wicking rate of the wicking material based on a flow rate of the fluid.
