  • Patent number: 11350665
    Abstract: An electronic smoking device operable in at least two states. A switch is configured to selectively toggle the device between a first state in which a power source provides energy to a first heating element to produce a first vapor of a first flavor, and a second state in which the power source provides energy to a second heating element to produce a second vapor of a second flavor. The controller may operate the device in a most recently toggled state based on detection of the draw by a sensor. The switch may be a non-momentary switch, and may extend through an opening in a casing. An indicator assembly may include indicator lights configured to be selectively illuminated based on the device being in the first or second state. The device may be operable in a third state in which energy is provided to the first and second heating elements.

  • Publication number: 20210219610
    Abstract: A method of operating an electronic smoking device. A mouthpiece is drawn on with the device in a first state in which a first atomizer is activated to atomize the first liquid vaporizable material to produce a first vapor. A first user input is provided to a user input to move the device to a second state in which a second atomizer is activated to atomize the second liquid vaporizable material to produce a second vapor. A second user input may be provided to move the device to a third state in which both the first and second atomizers are activated to produce a blend of the first and second vapors. The user input may be a singular button that toggles the device between the first, second, and third states. An indicator assembly may be viewed that indicates whether the device is in the first, second, or third states.

  • Publication number: 20210106055
    Abstract: A cartridge for an electronic smoking device. A housing includes a first reservoir configured to store a first liquid vaporizable material, a second reservoir configured to store a second liquid vaporizable material. A first and/or a second heating element is configured to be selectively heated by electrically energizing one or both of a first and/or a second terminal, respectively, so as to selectively produce an inhalable vapor of single flavor or of a blend of flavors. A base member between the first and second terminals may be electrically engaged by a capital assembly. The base member may define a first and second air aperture in fluid communication with the first and second heating elements, respectively. A third and a fourth terminal may be in electrical communication with the first and heating elements, respectively. The base member maybe configured to electrically energize the third and the fourth terminals.

  • Patent number: 10842189
    Abstract: A cartridge for an electronic smoking device that is configured to be removably coupled to a capital assembly. A base member includes a contact surface configured to engage a pin of the capital assembly. A first pair of terminals is configured to engage additional pins of the capital assembly. Heating elements are each coupled to a separate one of the terminals and in electrical communication with the contact surface. A second pair of terminals may be in electrical communication with the contact surface. The first pair of terminals may be electrically insulated from the contact surface. The first terminal and/or the second terminal is configured to be selectively electrically energized along with the contact surface so as to operate in one of plural modes in which the first and/or second heating elements selectively vaporize first and second liquid vaporizable material within first and second reservoirs, respectively.

  • Patent number: 10743589
    Abstract: A cartridge for an electronic smoking device. A housing is coupled to a mouthpiece and includes sidewalls partially defining a first reservoir that is non-circular in axial section and configured to store a first liquid vaporizable material, and a second reservoir that is non-circular in axial section and configured to store a second liquid vaporizable material. The first and second reservoirs are in parallel arrangement such that an outer periphery defined by outer surfaces of the sidewalls is rectangular in shape so as to be removably disposed within a rectangular-shaped opening of a capital assembly. The first and second reservoirs may be square or rectangular in axial section. First and second heating elements may be disposed widthwise within the cartridge and oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis. First and second wicks may be disposed widthwise within the cartridge and collinear to one another.

  • Patent number: 10721973
    Abstract: An electronic smoking device. A cartridge includes first and second heating elements arranged in parallel to respectively provide first and second vapors through an opening of a mouthpiece. The cartridge is configured to be removably coupled with a capital assembly including a power source, a controller, an indicator assembly, and a user input. The indicator assembly is configured to provide a first, second, or third visual output based on one of a first, second, or third user input. The indicator assembly may include first and second indicator lights. The third visual output may include illumination of both the first and second indicator lights, which may be indicative of a blend of first and second flavors. The outputted light may be shaped as chevrons oriented sideways and facing towards opposing sides of the capital assembly. The user input may include a button for toggling the device between first, second, and third states.
