  • Patent number: 11202872
    Abstract: The electronic system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation includes two or more heating elements for vaporizing cannabis, tobacco, e-cigarette fluid and other inhalable materials. Includes a power source and two or more heating elements, each connected to a multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element that allows individual control of the duration and amount of heat applied to each heating element. Each heating element applies heat to one smokable material, which can be contained in a cartridge. The multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element can be a slide switch, push button, rotary encoder, pressure switch, infrared switch, a voice activated switch or a graphical user interface attached to a integrated circuit. The power source can be a battery.

  • Patent number: 11191304
    Abstract: A portable vaporizer system that includes two or more individual heating elements controlled by a switching element. The switching element is either an analog control such as toggle switch or button or a digitally controlled with a microprocessor. Each heating element may be individually contained within a variety of cavity types and designs. These cavities enclose both the heating element and the material to be vaporized. Cavities may be removable or permanently installed on the device. Removable cavities may include screw or plug-in attachment types. Permanently installed cavities may have a removable lid for access to the interior of the cavity. Configurations of heating elements and cavities from two to twelve are shown. Digitally controlled switching elements can be controlled from a native application installed on the vaporizer device or on a mobile computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210186119
    Abstract: A selectively activate-able heating-element system for use with cannabis, tobacco, and e-cig inhalation devices and housings. The selectively activate-able heating-element system includes two-or-more heating-elements, each connected to a ‘multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element.’ The ‘multi-heating-element circuit-switching-element’ in simplest form may be a 2 way switch, 3 way switch, 4 way switch, 5 way switch, 6 way switch, 2 or more momentary push buttons, 3 or more momentary pushbuttons, or any other compatible types of user input-able component options, for example, a rotary encoder, graphical user interface operably connected to an integrated circuit and so on.
