Manual Spinner Vaping Assembly for Stress Relief Between Puffs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vaping devices lack a feature to aid in reducing feelings of agitation, anxiety, or stress in users between inhalations.
Innovation Solution
A vaping device integrated with a spinner assembly that allows for rotation, providing a combination vaping and stress-relief mechanism through both inhalation of vaporized nicotine and manual spinning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a spinner assembly is integrated into the vaping device, then stress relief and agitation reduction are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two separate functions (vaping and stress relief spinning) into a single integrated device. The spinner assembly is incorporated within the vaping device housing, allowing users to access both vaping and spinning functions from one device, thereby improving versatility while managing complexity through functional integration
Solution Approach 2:
The vaping device is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a vaping device for nicotine delivery and a spinner device for stress relief. This multi-functionality addresses the technical contradiction by providing adaptability for different user needs (vaping and anxiety reduction) within a single device platform
2Ease of operation
If the spinner assembly is made accessible through the housing, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is segmented to include a specific opening or aperture that provides access to the spinner assembly. This segmentation allows the spinner to be accessible for operation while keeping the internal structure organized and manageable, balancing ease of operation with structural complexity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The integrated spinner assembly helps reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, or nervousness by offering a tactile and rhythmic motion, potentially reducing the frequency of vaping sessions.
Implementation Method 1
Vaping devices heat a liquid solution containing nicotine and vaporize the liquid into an aerosol

AI summary
Described is a method and vaping device for relieving anxiety, stress or nervousness. The vaping device is operated to provide vaporized liquid solution to a person and includes a spinner assembly to rotate the vaping device about said the spinner assembly. The device is also used in a method to relieve anxiety, stress or nervousness in a person by actuating the vaping device, inhaling vapor, and actuating the spinning assembly before, after, or between actuations of the vaping device.
