Precision Vaporizer Pods for Custom Nicotine and Cannabinoid Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Tobacco and cannabis consumers lack the means to conveniently and economically customize the nicotine, cannabinoid, and flavor content of their smoking products, leading to exposure to harmful tobacco compounds and carcinogens while enjoying the pleasurable effects of these substances.
Innovation Solution
The development of onserts, precision rods, and precision pods that allow users to add specific compounds like nicotine, cannabinoids, and flavors to mainstream smoke or vapor, using cellulosic wrappers, adhesives, and compartments to house these compounds, enabling precise customization and reducing exposure to harmful tobacco compounds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If consumers use factory-made tobacco products, then they can conveniently obtain nicotine and other compounds, but they are exposed to harmful tobacco compounds and carcinogens
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the delivery of nicotine from the delivery of harmful tobacco compounds by using distinct delivery systems: factory-made cigarettes for nicotine delivery and separate onserts/pods for additional compound delivery, allowing consumers to avoid harmful compounds while maintaining convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The onsert and pod act as intermediary devices that deliver specific compounds (nicotine, cannabinoids, flavors) without the harmful tobacco compounds found in traditional cigarettes, serving as a mediator between the consumer's need for compounds and the harmful effects of tobacco smoke
2Quantity of substance
If consumers smoke or vape a blend of tobacco and cannabis, then they experience the pleasurable effects of nicotine and cannabinoids, but they inhale many carcinogenic tobacco compounds
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the delivery of desired compounds (nicotine, cannabinoids) from harmful compounds by using separate delivery systems: factory-made cigarettes or cannabis products for base delivery, and separate onserts/pods for adding specific compounds without introducing additional harmful tobacco compounds
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and isolates the beneficial compounds (nicotine, cannabinoids, flavors) from the harmful tobacco matrix by delivering them through separate onsert/pod systems that do not contain harmful tobacco compounds, allowing consumers to obtain desired substances without the harmful carriers
3Adaptability or versatility
If tobacco product manufacturers use genetic engineering and plant breeding to adjust nicotine content, then they can produce products with wide range of nicotine content, but consumers lack the means to customize their smoking products
Solution Approach 1:
The invention makes the nicotine and compound content dynamic and adjustable by allowing consumers to selectively add different onserts and pods with varying compound contents to their factory-made cigarettes, enabling real-time customization rather than fixed manufacturer-determined compositions
Solution Approach 2:
The invention empowers consumers to self-customize their smoking experience by selecting and adding specific onserts and pods containing desired compounds, eliminating the need for manufacturers to provide a wide range of pre-formulated products and allowing consumers to control their own nicotine and compound intake
