Definitions
- This invention relates to electronic smoking-substitute devices. More particularly, although not exclusively, the present invention relates to electronic cigarettes and cigars, which provide a user with an inhalable vapour comprising nicotine or another substance, but which do not produce a flame or smoke.
- smoking-substitute devices have been developed, which enable the user to experience some of the physical and chemical sensations associated with smoking, without actually generating smoke or fire, and which therefore are not affected by the restrictions imposed by statutory and other smoking bans.
- electronic smoking devices have been developed. These devices typically at least approximately resemble a cigarette or cigar, but are in fact battery-powered electronic devices. They typically comprise three operative components, contained within a cigarette- or cigar-shaped tube, and may include a mouthpiece.
- a replaceable liquid cartridge This contains the substance that is to be “smoked”.
- An example cartridge contains a mixture of water, propylene glycol, nicotine, and a scent, all contained within a membrane within the cartridge, which is in turn removably installed within the cigarette-shaped tube.
- the cartridge is replaceable after it is emptied. It may be filled with one or more substances providing any of a number of flavours, including for example tobacco, chocolate, coffee, apple, cherry, or mint.
- the heating element heats the cartridge, and thereby atomises the contents of the cartridge.
- the user of the device sucks on the tube or mouthpiece, activating a switch which switches on the cylindrical heating element, generating the atomised substances, which are then inhaled by the user.
- the user thus experiences the physical sensation of smoking—and the chemical consequences as well, where the atomised substances comprise nicotine or other narcotics—but without generating smoke or tar, or even using tobacco (which is subject to high taxation in some countries).
- Some prior-art devices include a safety cut-off, which switches the device off after a set number of inhalations to prevent the potentially toxic effect of excessive inhalation of nicotine or the like.
- the electronic smoking device includes a rechargeable battery, to power the cylindrical heating element.
- the rechargeable battery is in electrical contact with the cylindrical heating element.
- the user charges the battery, which then typically provides sufficient power for about 11 ⁇ 2 hours of use or about 300 inhalations before recharging is required.
- prior-art electronic smoking devices are designed to be durable, typically being made out of metal. That results in the devices being relatively heavy.
- the batteries used in prior-devices are relatively low-power, and the device design results in inefficient transfer of heat, which means that vapour is produced slowly, and hence in smaller quantities than may be desirable. Furthermore, frequent charging is required.
- the present invention seeks to ameliorate at least one of the abovementioned problems.
- the invention provides an electronic smoking-substitute device comprising a tube containing:
- the heating element being a coil and being in direct contact with the reservoir
- a power source arranged to power the heating element.
- the device is preferably arranged so that the reservoir is not removable; for example, it may be that it is not possible to remove the reservoir from the tube without dismantling other parts of the device or damaging or destroying the device.
- the device may be made of two main parts. The two main parts may screw together. The two main parts may be joined together such that it is not possible to separate them without damaging or destroying the device.
- the liquid may be a mixture of a flavouring substance and water, nicotine, propylene glycol, and a scent.
- the mixture may be contained within a membrane.
- the flavouring substance may be any of tobacco, chocolate, coffee, apple, cherry, or mint.
- the heating coil heats more effectively than prior-art cylindrical heating elements.
- the heating coil requires less power to get to the required temperature to vaporise the liquid than a cylindrical heating element.
- the liquid is heated to a higher temperature than in prior-art devices; that results in a more powerful atomising effect, and a greater rate of vapour generation for inhalation.
- the more effective heating results because the coil has a larger effective area than a cylinder of the same size.
- the coil may be helical.
- the more effective heating also results because the coil is in direct contact with the reservoir, whereas, in prior-art devices, provision of a replaceable liquid cartridge results in the cylindrical heating element being separated from the liquid to be atomised by a greater thermal path length.
- the device may include a mouthpiece through which the atomised liquid can be inhaled.
- the device may include a switch arranged to activate the heating element when the user sucks on the tube, or mouthpiece if present.
- the device may include an external switch arranged to activate the heating element.
- the external switch may be a push or slide switch.
- An external switch according to an embodiment of the invention may be more robust and/or reliable than a switch arranged to activate the heating element when the user sucks on the tube.
- the device may include a safety cut-off, which switches the device off after a set number of inhalations.
- the device is arranged so that the power source is not rechargeable; for example, it may be that there is no electrical connection from the power source to the outside of the device; it may be that it is not possible to remove the power source from the tube without dismantling other parts of the device or damaging or destroying the device.
- the power source may be a cell.
- the power source may be a battery.
- the power source is not a rechargeable battery.
- the device In contrast with prior-art devices, there is no need to charge a rechargeable battery before using the device; rather, the device is preferably immediately useable, as it preferably contains an initially fully charged power source. Similarly, there is no need, or indeed opportunity, to recharge the device.
- the power source may be connected directly to the heating element.
- the power source stores sufficient energy to enable at least 600 inhalations of atomised liquid.
- the power source stores sufficient energy to enable approximately 375 inhalations, which is equivalent to 25 normal (tobacco) cigarettes.
- the tube is a plastics material.
- a plastics material has advantages over the prior-art use of metal, because plastics materials typically act as thermal insulators, which improves the thermal efficiency of the device, and hence improves the atomisation provided by unit power from the power source.
- Plastic is also generally cheaper than metal, and it is also lighter.
- the tube is made from a plastics material with a thickness in the range from 1 mm to 2 mm.
- the plastics material is 1.5 mm thick. The plastics material is strong enough to be handled every day and also thick enough to act as an insulator of the heat generated by the heating coil.
- the tube, reservoir, heating element and power source form a single unit. That is in contrast to the prior art, which is modular in design, with a removable cartridge and rechargeable battery.
- the tube, reservoir, heating element and power source cannot be dismantled from each other without destroying the device.
- the device is not designed for long-term use, it can be made of materials that are less-durable, and hence cheaper, than those of prior-art devices.
- the device is disposable; that is, it is intended to be disposed of without recharging the power source or refilling the reservoir, which indeed is preferably not possible.
- the device is made from materials that are sufficiently cheap for disposal, without recharging or refilling, to be economically viable.
- a further advantage of the one-piece, disposable design is that the device is lighter than prior art devices, which are designed to be more durable.
- An embodiment of the invention may be sized such that it may be packaged in a normal cigarette box.
- the reservoir and heating element form a first part and the battery forms a second part.
- the reservoir and heating element in the first part may be directly integrated such that the heating element is located within the reservoir. It is believed that such a design improves the smoking experience of the user by providing a more intense and/or fresh supply of vapour. Additionally, the integration of the reservoir and the heating element in the first part may be such that the user cannot access the nicotine dilution, other than by activating the heating element. Such a feature may make the device more hygienic to use.
- the first and second parts may be arranged to be screwed together for easy construction of the device. Alternatively, the first and second parts may be arranged to be connected by a push fit design.
- first and second parts may be arranged such that it is not possible to dismantle the device without damaging or destroying the device.
- the reservoir and heating element are inaccessible to a user. This may reduce the potential for the device to leak.

Description
- This invention relates to electronic smoking-substitute devices. More particularly, although not exclusively, the present invention relates to electronic cigarettes and cigars, which provide a user with an inhalable vapour comprising nicotine or another substance, but which do not produce a flame or smoke.
- Conventional smoking devices, including cigarettes, cigars and pipes, are now known to be associated with a variety of problems. They function by burning tobacco, which creates a flame, and which consequently presents a significant fire risk in many environments, including domestic dwellings. Also, substances found in tobacco, for example tar, are believed to be associated with an increased risk of health problems, including life-threatening diseases such as cancer. It is believed that inhalation by third-parties of smoke generated by smokers in closed environments also increases the risk of the third-parties developing such conditions. The experience of others' smoke can also be unpleasant for third-parties, especially in restaurants and the like.
- For those and other reasons, many organisations around the world have banned smoking on their properties. In recent years, some governments have introduced legislation banning smoking in certain environments, for example in enclosed public spaces.
- However, many smokers enjoy regular smoking, and may experience unpleasant psychological or even physiological symptoms if they are unable to smoke frequently.
- To address that issue, smoking-substitute devices have been developed, which enable the user to experience some of the physical and chemical sensations associated with smoking, without actually generating smoke or fire, and which therefore are not affected by the restrictions imposed by statutory and other smoking bans.
- In particular, electronic smoking devices have been developed. These devices typically at least approximately resemble a cigarette or cigar, but are in fact battery-powered electronic devices. They typically comprise three operative components, contained within a cigarette- or cigar-shaped tube, and may include a mouthpiece.
- First, there is a replaceable liquid cartridge. This contains the substance that is to be “smoked”. An example cartridge contains a mixture of water, propylene glycol, nicotine, and a scent, all contained within a membrane within the cartridge, which is in turn removably installed within the cigarette-shaped tube. The cartridge is replaceable after it is emptied. It may be filled with one or more substances providing any of a number of flavours, including for example tobacco, chocolate, coffee, apple, cherry, or mint.
- Second, there is a cylindrical heating element, arranged in thermal contact with the cartridge. In use, the heating element heats the cartridge, and thereby atomises the contents of the cartridge. The user of the device sucks on the tube or mouthpiece, activating a switch which switches on the cylindrical heating element, generating the atomised substances, which are then inhaled by the user. The user thus experiences the physical sensation of smoking—and the chemical consequences as well, where the atomised substances comprise nicotine or other narcotics—but without generating smoke or tar, or even using tobacco (which is subject to high taxation in some countries).
- Some prior-art devices include a safety cut-off, which switches the device off after a set number of inhalations to prevent the potentially toxic effect of excessive inhalation of nicotine or the like.
- Third, the electronic smoking device includes a rechargeable battery, to power the cylindrical heating element. The rechargeable battery is in electrical contact with the cylindrical heating element. Before using the device for the first time, the user charges the battery, which then typically provides sufficient power for about 1½ hours of use or about 300 inhalations before recharging is required.
- To enable repeated use for multiple charges, prior-art electronic smoking devices are designed to be durable, typically being made out of metal. That results in the devices being relatively heavy. The batteries used in prior-devices are relatively low-power, and the device design results in inefficient transfer of heat, which means that vapour is produced slowly, and hence in smaller quantities than may be desirable. Furthermore, frequent charging is required.
- The present invention seeks to ameliorate at least one of the abovementioned problems.
- In a first aspect, the invention provides an electronic smoking-substitute device comprising a tube containing:
- a reservoir containing a liquid, the liquid comprising a substance to be inhaled by the user;
- a heating element, the heating element being a coil and being in direct contact with the reservoir; and
- a power source, arranged to power the heating element.
- The device is preferably arranged so that the reservoir is not removable; for example, it may be that it is not possible to remove the reservoir from the tube without dismantling other parts of the device or damaging or destroying the device. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the device may be made of two main parts. The two main parts may screw together. The two main parts may be joined together such that it is not possible to separate them without damaging or destroying the device.
- The liquid may be a mixture of a flavouring substance and water, nicotine, propylene glycol, and a scent. The mixture may be contained within a membrane.
- The flavouring substance may be any of tobacco, chocolate, coffee, apple, cherry, or mint.
- The inventor has found that the heating coil heats more effectively than prior-art cylindrical heating elements. Preferably, the heating coil requires less power to get to the required temperature to vaporise the liquid than a cylindrical heating element.
- Advantageously, this means that a smaller battery can be used in the device, and/or the battery is capable of powering more inhalations than a battery used in conjunction with a prior-art cylindrical heating element. Preferably, the liquid is heated to a higher temperature than in prior-art devices; that results in a more powerful atomising effect, and a greater rate of vapour generation for inhalation. We believe that the more effective heating results because the coil has a larger effective area than a cylinder of the same size. The coil may be helical. We believe that the more effective heating also results because the coil is in direct contact with the reservoir, whereas, in prior-art devices, provision of a replaceable liquid cartridge results in the cylindrical heating element being separated from the liquid to be atomised by a greater thermal path length.
- The device may include a mouthpiece through which the atomised liquid can be inhaled.
- The device may include a switch arranged to activate the heating element when the user sucks on the tube, or mouthpiece if present. In an alternative embodiment, the device may include an external switch arranged to activate the heating element. The external switch may be a push or slide switch. An external switch according to an embodiment of the invention may be more robust and/or reliable than a switch arranged to activate the heating element when the user sucks on the tube.
- The device may include a safety cut-off, which switches the device off after a set number of inhalations.
- The device is arranged so that the power source is not rechargeable; for example, it may be that there is no electrical connection from the power source to the outside of the device; it may be that it is not possible to remove the power source from the tube without dismantling other parts of the device or damaging or destroying the device. The power source may be a cell. The power source may be a battery. Preferably, the power source is not a rechargeable battery.
- In contrast with prior-art devices, there is no need to charge a rechargeable battery before using the device; rather, the device is preferably immediately useable, as it preferably contains an initially fully charged power source. Similarly, there is no need, or indeed opportunity, to recharge the device.
- The power source may be connected directly to the heating element.
- Preferably, the power source stores sufficient energy to enable at least 600 inhalations of atomised liquid. In an alternative embodiment the power source stores sufficient energy to enable approximately 375 inhalations, which is equivalent to 25 normal (tobacco) cigarettes.
- Preferably, the tube is a plastics material. Using a plastics material has advantages over the prior-art use of metal, because plastics materials typically act as thermal insulators, which improves the thermal efficiency of the device, and hence improves the atomisation provided by unit power from the power source. Plastic is also generally cheaper than metal, and it is also lighter. Preferably, the tube is made from a plastics material with a thickness in the range from 1 mm to 2 mm. Preferably, the plastics material is 1.5 mm thick. The plastics material is strong enough to be handled every day and also thick enough to act as an insulator of the heat generated by the heating coil.
- Advantageously, the tube, reservoir, heating element and power source form a single unit. That is in contrast to the prior art, which is modular in design, with a removable cartridge and rechargeable battery. Preferably, the tube, reservoir, heating element and power source cannot be dismantled from each other without destroying the device.
- Providing a one-piece, non-modular design offers advantages over the prior art. Because the device is not designed for long-term use, it can be made of materials that are less-durable, and hence cheaper, than those of prior-art devices. The device is disposable; that is, it is intended to be disposed of without recharging the power source or refilling the reservoir, which indeed is preferably not possible. The device is made from materials that are sufficiently cheap for disposal, without recharging or refilling, to be economically viable.
- A further advantage of the one-piece, disposable design is that the device is lighter than prior art devices, which are designed to be more durable. An embodiment of the invention may be sized such that it may be packaged in a normal cigarette box.
- In an alternative embodiment, the reservoir and heating element form a first part and the battery forms a second part. The reservoir and heating element in the first part may be directly integrated such that the heating element is located within the reservoir. It is believed that such a design improves the smoking experience of the user by providing a more intense and/or fresh supply of vapour. Additionally, the integration of the reservoir and the heating element in the first part may be such that the user cannot access the nicotine dilution, other than by activating the heating element. Such a feature may make the device more hygienic to use. The first and second parts may be arranged to be screwed together for easy construction of the device. Alternatively, the first and second parts may be arranged to be connected by a push fit design. Once the first and second parts have been joined together, they may be arranged such that it is not possible to dismantle the device without damaging or destroying the device. Advantageously, the reservoir and heating element are inaccessible to a user. This may reduce the potential for the device to leak.

FIG. 5 shows a third example embodiment of the invention. An electronic cigarette is made up of atube 500 comprising afirst part 510 and asecond part 520. Thefirst part 510 andsecond part 520 are screwed together such that they form thetube 500, the external surfaces of thetube 500 being flush, with no join being noticeable by a user. The location of the screw fixing is shown as 590 onFIG. 5 . Thefirst part 510 includes an integrated cartridge andvaporization chamber 515. The integrated cartridge andvaporization chamber 515 includes a coiledheating element 530 and asponge 540, the sponge being 540 impregnated with a nicotine dilution. Thesponge 540 is surrounded by a membrane to prevent the passage of the nicotine dilution from thesponge 540 prior to the dilution being atomised by theheating element 530. Thefirst part 510 also includes amouth piece 540 arranged to be sucked by a user in order to inhale the nicotine dilution that is atomised by theheating element 530 in the integrated cartridge andvaporization chamber 515. Thesecond part 520 includes apower source 560 arranged to be in electrical contact with theheating element 530 when thefirst part 510 andsecond part 520 are joined. Thesecond part 520 also includes apush switch 570 arranged to control thepower source 560. When thepush switch 570 is activated by a user, thepower source 560 supplies theheating element 530 with power. Theheating element 530 atomises some of the nicotine dilution contained in thesponge 540 which can then pass through the membrane and be inhaled by the user. Thesecond part 520 also includes anLED 580 located at the distal end of thesecond part 520 which is activated by operation of thepush switch 570 in order to show that theelectronic cigarette 500 is operating. The LED may be a green LED in order to reduce potential confusion with a normal cigarette. - The screw connection between the
first part 510 andsecond part 520 enables easy construction of theelectronic cigarette 500. The screw connection between the two parts may include a catch mechanism to prevent the two parts being unscrewed from each other. In an alternative embodiment, the connection between the two parts may be a push fit. The push fit may include a catch arranged to prevent the two structural elements from being pulled apart. - Whilst the present invention has been described and illustrated with reference to particular example embodiments, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention lends itself to many different variations not specifically illustrated herein. Some examples of such variations and alternatives have been described above.
