  • Publication number: 20250344766
    Abstract: An electronic vaporizer has a main unit, a heating system and a controller. The main unit is configured to supply electrical energy. The heating system is coupled to the main unit and includes an induction heating system and a temperature sensor. The induction heating system is configured to receive material, convert electrical energy from the main unit into thermal energy and apply the thermal energy to the material. The controller is coupled to the induction heating system and configured to receive a temperature associated with the induction heating system from the temperature sensor, and control the induction heating system to heat the material to a desired temperature.

  • Publication number: 20240225109
    Abstract: A heating element for use in an electronic vaporizer includes a heating element base, a heating circuit, first and second electronic leads and first and second thermocouple wires. The electronic vaporizer includes a controller configured to sense an operating temperature of the heating element. The heating circuit is encapsulated within the heating element base and has a first terminal and a second terminal. The first electronic lead is connected to the first terminal of the heating circuit. The second electronic lead is connected to the second terminal of the heating circuit. The first thermocouple wire is coupled to the first electronic lead. The second thermocouple wire is coupled to the second electronic lead. The first and second thermocouple wires are composed from different materials and configured to be connected to respective inputs of the controller.
