Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The vaping market lacks eJuice alternatives substantially free from propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), which are responsible for visible vapor clouds, causing annoyance to non-vapers and leading to vaping bans in public areas, and result in significant fluid wastage.
Innovation Solution
Development of vaporizable liquids comprising a solvent, such as water or alcohol, combined with pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or plant extract agents, that are substantially free of PG and VG, designed to produce a substantially invisible vapor trail when used in electronic vapor devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If eJuice contains propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), then vapor cloud is produced, but this causes annoyance to non-vapers and leads to vaping bans in public areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of eJuice by replacing PG and VG with water-based solvents and natural flavor compounds. This parameter change transforms the vaporization properties to produce invisible or minimal visible vapor, thereby eliminating the annoyance to non-vapers while maintaining the vaping function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes the problematic components (PG and VG) from the eJuice formulation. By taking out these specific substances that cause visible vapor clouds, the invention eliminates the harmful effect of annoying non-vapers while retaining the essential vaporization capability through alternative components.
2Ease of manufacture
If eJuice contains propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), then vapor cloud is created, but much of the vapor ends up not absorbed and is exhaled into the air causing fluid wastage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the physical and chemical parameters of the vaporizable liquid by using water-based formulations with lower boiling points and different vaporization characteristics. This enables more efficient absorption of the vaporized components by the user, reducing the amount of unabsorbed vapor exhaled into the air and thereby minimizing fluid wastage.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If eJuice is made substantially free from propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), then visible vapor cloud is reduced, but alternative formulations must be developed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes PG and VG from the formulation and replaces them with simpler, more natural components such as water, natural flavors, and plant extracts. This extraction approach simplifies the overall formulation while achieving the desired reduction in visible vapor cloud.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses water as a universal solvent that can dissolve various natural flavor compounds and active ingredients, creating a homogeneous formulation. This homogeneity simplifies the manufacturing process and ensures consistent performance, offsetting the initial complexity of developing alternative formulations.
