Benefits of technology

The present invention is about an improved apparatus for generating vapors and smoke from herbiferous solids. It can be used with smoking pipes and its own separable or detachable vapor generating module. The apparatus includes a vapor generating module with a fuel body and a heating module with an electrical heating element. It can be used with a traditional smoking pipe or with a separate vapor generating module. The apparatus has a mouthpiece that can be attached or detached from the vapor generating module. The invention provides a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solution for generating vapors from solid fuels under controllable temperature conditions.

Problems solved by technology

However, pipes and hookahs can combust the latter, thereby altering smoke characteristics and rapidly and unnecessarily depleting the botanic solid.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1A shows a vapor generator 100 according to at least one aspect of the invention. Vapor generator 100 may include a heating module 102 for supplying heat to a botanic solid (not shown), and a vapor generating module 104 for holding and generating vapors from the botanic solid. Hereinafter, the botanic solid will be referred to as a fuel because the latter can combust, even though in many cases, vaporization is by pyrolysis with minimal actual combustion if any. The fuel may be tobacco, marijuana, or other botanic solids used for smoking. It will be seen from FIG. 1A that a vapor generating module 104 may be utilized with heating module 102 when it is desired to operate vapor generator as a self-contained unit. In FIG. 1B, optionally, heating module 102 is utilized with a conventional smoking pipe 106. Vapor generator 100 is considered to be in self-contained form when utilized as shown in FIG. 1A. In the self-contained form, vapor generator 100 is utilized with dedicated ...

Abstract

A vapor generator for generating vapors from a solid fuel is described. The vapor generator may comprise a fuel chamber for containing the fuel, an electrical heating element, associated controls, and a battery. The fuel is heated by ambient air drawn past the heating element, and is subsequently conducted into the fuel chamber. A screen may interpose a barrier between the fuel and the heating element, so that fuel is heated only convectively by air and not by direct contact with the heating element. The fuel chamber is modularly detachable from the heating element. Modules including the heating element and the fuel chamber may be joined by a ball and socket arrangement, thereby enabling ready assembly into a unitized assembly, and disassembled to enable the heating elements and related components to be utilized with a pre-existing smoking pipe or cigarette.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to apparatus for selectively generating a vapor or smoke from a botanic solid, and more particularly, to a modular apparatus limiting heat used to generate the vapor or smoke, and usable in as a self-contained or stand-alone device, or alternatively, with a conventional smoking pipe.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]People enjoy generating smoke from botanic solids, and inhaling this smoke. Pipes and hookahs for smoking have been developed for this purpose. However, pipes and hookahs can combust the latter, thereby altering smoke characteristics and rapidly and unnecessarily depleting the botanic solid.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention contemplates improved apparatus for generating vapors and smoke from herbiferous solids. Notably, the apparatus can be utilized selectively with smoking pipes and also with its own separable or detachable vapor generating module. The apparatus includes a vapor generating module...
