Wickless cartomizer

Abstract

A wickless cartomizer (2000) includes an outer shell (2001) surrounding an inner shell (2002) in a spaced configuration to form chamber (2300) for holding vaporizable material between the outer and inner shell. The cartomizer includes a channel (2005) having an opening (2004) at the bottom portion of a middle wall (2015) to allow the vaporizable material in the chamber to flow into the channel such that the vaporizable material within the channel is substantially level with the vaporizable material in the chamber. The inner wall (2005) of the channel includes a heater (2009) to heat the vaporizable material stored within the channel along the length of the inner wall to provide a more even temperature distribution through the vaporizable material. As the vaporizable material heats and becomes vaporized, the vapor rises and passes through a vapor exit opening (2011) in a top portion of the inner wall of the channel.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 374,164, filed August 12, 2016, entitled "Wickless Cartomizer," the disclosure of which is incorporated herein. technical field [0003] The invention relates to an atomized smoke cartridge without a tube core. Coreless vaping pods can be used as part of an vaping device, such as an e-cigarette or personal cartomizer, to vaporize certain materials. Background technique [0004] Atomization provides an alternative to combustion for delivery and consumption including, but not limited to, liquids (i.e., "e-liquids"), waxes, colloids, herbal materials, and combinations thereof (individually referred to herein as "an e-liquid"). Aerosolizable substances", collectively referred to as "aerosolizable substances"). Non-limiting examples of components of the aerosolizable substance include: glycerin, propylene glycol, flavors, nicotine, drugs, and combinations thereof. Vapin...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] The aforementioned atomizing pods and EVDs including them may have a number of disadvantages including, but not limited to, any one or more of the following: exposure of aerosolizable substances to certain metals that may cause off-flavored aerosol flavors; Liquids, or waxes, or gels are useful, but cannot be used to vape all three; when the EVD is inverted (such as placed in a consumer's pocket), the vaping pod, EVD, or EVD part ( Undesirable contamination components such as EVD mouthpieces); difficult to clean between uses; difficult to fill due to the presence of coils, wicks, and other components; and based on porous materials (i.e., wicks, which deliver aerosolizable material to the heat source for atomization) that restrict the flow of atomizable material
