Abstract: This invention relates to the use of multiple capillary tubes 10 for the evaporation of volatile active substances, in particular aromatics and/or insecticides from a liquid reservoir 40. The intent is to incorporate individual capillary tubes 20 in a single piece made ideally out of a polymer that can resist both heat and organic compounds. The multiple capillary tubes 10 could replace twisted, braided or woven wicks that are currently used in electronic vapor emanation systems that utilize heat 50 or atomization 60. The multiple capillary tubes 10 are extruded in a single piece and then cut to length or individual capillary tubes are extruded, bundled and then cut to length.

Abstract: Multiple artificial wicks can be used in water or solvent based fragrance mixtures that will fully empty the mixture from the container without the need to flip the wicks. The wicks can be made from strands of woven, twisted, braided, injection molded or extruded fibers that are natural or man-made. The length to width ratio of the wick should be a minimum of 30 for effective fragrance release. The wick gets fully saturated and remains saturated while providing continuous fragrance diffusion. There is no need to flip the wick over during use to refresh the fragrance diffusion. The wicks can also be fully dyed or pigmented with color. The wicks can also be partially dyed or pigmented with color. A ceramic bisque can also be placed above the fragrance oil mixture to provide a fragrance boost when in contact with the wick.
