Benefits of technology

The patent is about a cigarette substitute device that delivers a consistent taste and physiological satisfaction without using propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. The device uses ingredients like tobacco extract, ethyl nicotinate, ethanol, nicotine, and ethanol-based flavors, but needs to be heated to a specific temperature range between 125-145 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal taste and physiological satisfaction. The device has a heater, sensor, battery, and microprocessor to regulate the temperature. The device consistently releases a constant amount of active ingredients per use, such as nicotine, and can deliver this constant amount over a period of time. The patent aims to provide a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, when the temperature is higher than 145 degrees, the physiological satisfaction is acceptable, but the taste is quite unpleasant.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]In some embodiments, the numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, properties such as concentration, reaction conditions, and so forth, used to describe and claim certain embodiments of the invention are to be understood as being modified in some instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, in some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the written description and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment. In some embodiments, the numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of some embodiments of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as practicable. The numerical values presented in some embodiments of the invent...

Abstract

A mid-temperature electronic cigarette that heats ingredients to a temperature range between 125 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature range is critical for a consistent cigarette-like taste, aroma, and physiological satisfaction. The ingredients can include tobacco extract, ethyl nicotinate, ethanol, nicotine and ethanol-based flavors, DMEA, but not propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG). Due to the consistent temperature range, the mid-temperature electronic cigarette can consistently deliver 8-10 μg nicotine per puff, for at least 10 puffs, over 2-8 hours.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.[0002]Electronic cigarettes (also known as “e-cigarette”) are noncombustible tobacco products that simulate tobacco smoking. Using an e-cigarette (also known as “vaping”) involves inhaling an aerosol (commonly known as “vapor”), instead of cigarette smoke. E-cigarettes are superior to cigarettes because cigarette smoke produced by burning tobacco contains a number of carcinogens, while e-cigarettes do not ignite the contents. However, conventional e-cigarettes use ingredients including propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), and heat them to a temperature range to about 600-1350 degrees Fahrenheit. Inhaling aerosol containing PG and VG could result in l...
