  • Inductive cleaning system for removing condensates from electronic smoking systems
    Patent number: 6803550
    Abstract: Inductive heating elements are provided with a specific configuration that results in a thermal wave that moves along a smoking device during a cleaning process, and control circuitry that maintains resonant conditions for maximum efficiency and power transfer during the thermal cleaning of the smoking device. A secondary can is positioned around electrical heater blades that contact the cigarette, and is configured to by preferentially heated by the induction of current within the can for the removal of condensates formed within the smoking device through extended periods of use.
    Type: Grant
