Abstract
Description
- The present device relates to a vaporizer that can provide vapor from multiple sources simultaneously within the same housing.
- Portable vaporizers have become increasingly popular over the past few years as alternatives to traditional smoking methods. Vaporization allows for the delivery to the lungs of desired chemicals without the unhealthy by-products of the combustion process. Most vaporizers currently on the market are configured to vaporize a single substance, be it dried herbs, oils, or e-liquids. Each of the difference substances require subtle differences in the structures of the vaporization chamber to create the proper vaporization environment. Some vaporizers are modular, allowing for the user to switch out a vaporization chamber configured for one substance to a vaporization chamber configured for a different substance, and at least one vaporizer currently in production contains vaporizers for two different substances within the same housing, but requires the user to choose one or the other.
- However, many users desire a mixture of two substances. For example, vaporizing dry herbs can leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth, which the vaporization of a flavored e-liquid could alleviate. What is needed is a dual-source vaporizer that is configured to allow a user to select from two separate vaporization sources or a combination thereof in order to satisfy the user's vaporization needs.
- It is an aspect of the disclosure to provide a dual-source vaporizer that allows for the selection of multiple vaporization sources, either individually or in combination. These together with other aspects and advantages, which will be subsequently apparent, reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein life numerals refer to like parts throughout.
- Further features and advantages of the present device, as well as the structure and operation of various embodiments of the present device, will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dual-source vaporizer, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a dual-source vaporizer, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 3 is a cross section view of a dual-source vaporizer, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 4 is a cross section view of a dual-source vaporizer, according to an alternate embodiment. -
FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a combination tank for a dual-source vaporizer, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 6 is an exploded view of a combination tank for a dual-source vaporizer, according to an alternate embodiment. -
FIG. 7 is a bottom view of a dual-source vaporizer, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit for a dual-source vaporizer, according to an embodiment. - The present device can be a dual-source vaporizer that can allow a user to draw vapor from two vaporizing sources, either individually or in combination. In a preferred embodiment, one vaporizing source can be a dry herb vaporizer, while the second vaporizing source can be an e-liquid vaporizer. Alternately, a wax or oil vaporizer can be substituted for the dry herb vaporizer or the e-liquid vaporizer. The dry herb vaporizer can be contained within the main body of the dual-source vaporizer, while the e-liquid vaporizer can be contained in the combination tank of the dual-source vaporizer. The dual-source vaporizer can have a rechargeable battery, which can be used to power the dry herb vaporizer, the e-liquid vaporizer, and the dual-source vaporizer's circuit. The dual-source vaporizer's circuit can include a voltage controller for the e-liquid vaporizer, a temperature controller for the dry-herb vaporizer, a display screen configured to display voltage or temperature levels, a firing button, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor can be configured to regulate the voltage and temperature levels as defined by the user, as well as control the Display screen while the dual-source vaporizer is powered.
- The dry herb vaporizer can comprise a series of nested elements. A dry herb chamber, into which the dry herb to be vaporized is placed, can be nested within a heating element. The heating element and dry herb chamber can be nested inside an insulator. The heating element, dry herb chamber, and insulator can be nested within a chamber casing. The entire dry herb vaporizer, comprising the dry herb chamber, heating element, insulator, and chamber casing can be nested within the main body of the dual-source vaporizer.
- To use the dry herb vaporizer, the user can place a premeasured quantity of dry herbs into the dry herb chamber. The dry herb chamber can have a top collar having one or more exhaust holes, connected to a vapor funnel. The dry herb chamber can be made of a material that allows heat to spread evenly throughout the material, such as ceramic, metal, or any other material with similar properties. When the dry herb vaporizer is activated by the microprocessor, power can be applied to the heating element in order for the heating element to heat to the temperature set by the user. Once the heating element has reached the desired temperature, the user can inhale on the mouthpiece and begin drawing dry herb vapor. The dry herb vapor can travel out through the exhaust holes in the top collar into the vapor funnel, which can shunt the vapor into the combination tank via radial vapor holes on the combination tank connector located on the dual-vaporizer faceplate. For ease of cleaning, the dry herb chamber can be accessed from the bottom by removing a removable plug mounted on the underside of the main body. The user can replace the removable plug before more dry herb is placed into the dry herb chamber.
