Dual-Container Vapor Device for Discreet Vaping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing electronic vapor devices produce visible vapor clouds due to propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), which can be annoying to non-users and lead to vaping bans in public areas, necessitating a solution for discreet vaping options.
Innovation Solution
A dual-function electronic vapor device with separate containers for PG/VG-based eJuice and water-based eJuice, allowing users to switch between traditional vapor production and stealth mode with a drastically reduced or invisible vapor cloud, utilizing a piezoelectric dispersing element and smart features for fluid management and user control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional eJuice containing PG and VG is used, then visible vapor cloud is produced for enjoyable vaping experience, but it causes annoyance to non-users and leads to vaping bans in public areas
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the single eJuice container into two separate containers: one holding traditional PG/VG-based eJuice for visible vapor production, and another holding water-based eJuice for discreet vaping. This segmentation allows users to switch between vapor visibility modes depending on the social environment, resolving the contradiction between enjoying visible vapor clouds and avoiding public annoyance.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameter of the eJuice by offering two distinct formulations: traditional PG/VG-based liquid that produces visible vapor, and water-based liquid that produces minimal or invisible vapor. This parameter change enables users to adapt vapor visibility to different social contexts, eliminating the harmful effect of unavoidable visible vapor in public spaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single eJuice container is used, then device structure is simple, but users cannot switch between visible and discreet vaping modes
Solution Approach 1:
The vapor device is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating two separate eJuice containers that can be independently selected. The device can universally serve both traditional vaping needs (with visible vapor) and discreet vaping needs (with minimal vapor), making it adaptable to various social situations without requiring multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The single container is segmented into two separate containers, each dedicated to a specific eJuice type. This segmentation provides the versatility to switch between vaping modes while maintaining relatively simple device architecture, as each container operates independently through the existing vaporization mechanism.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If water-based eJuice is used for discreet vaping, then vapor cloud is drastically reduced or invisible, but vapor production enjoyment is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces dynamic selection capability, allowing users to switch between water-based eJuice for discreet vaping and traditional PG/VG-based eJuice for enjoyable vapor production. This dynamic adaptability ensures that vapor production quality is optimized for each specific situation, eliminating the compromise by letting users choose the appropriate eJuice type based on their current needs.
Solution Approach 2:
By changing the chemical composition parameter of the eJuice between two distinct types (water-based vs. PG/VG-based), the system enables users to achieve either minimal vapor for discretion or rich vapor for enjoyment, depending on which parameter configuration is selected. This resolves the contradiction by making vapor production quality context-dependent rather than fixed.

AI summary
Provided are systems, methods and electronic vapor devices comprising a first container containing a first vaporizable liquid and a second container comprising a second vaporizable liquid. A vaporizer can be configured to vaporize at least the first vaporizable liquid and the second vaporizable liquid. Vaporizing the first vaporizable liquid produces a first vapor having a visible vapor cloud, and vaporizing the second vaporizable liquid produces a second vapor having a drastically reduced or invisible vapor cloud when compared to the first vapor.
