Disposable electronic cigarette with power shut off protection

Abstract

A new button activated disposable electronic cigarette that has power shut off protection. The power shut off protection includes a control system with a micro controller unit that deactivates the electronic cigarette upon expiration of a predetermined maximum use time. The power shut off protection further includes LED indicators that flash upon deactivation for use beyond the expiration of the predetermined maximum use time in order to educate the user that the electronic cigarette has been misused. The power shut off protection ensures that the battery charge and integrity of the internal circuitry will survive the e-liquid supply contained within the electronic cigarette.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic smoking device comprising a battery set and a cartomizer that is detachably attached to the battery set, wherein the battery set includes a power source that provides an electric current to the battery set and cartomizer, a switch printed circuit board with push button and a microcontroller unit capable of measuring time and a maximum operation time limit, and wherein the cartomizer includes an atomizer, a media soaked with the solution to be atomized, and a passage through its axis to allow air to pass through. 
     
     
         2 . An electronic smoking device comprising:
 (a) a first cylinder housing with a first and second end;   (b) a battery within the first cylinder housing;   (c) a light cover affixed to first end of the first cylinder housing;   (d) a light-controlling printed circuit board within the first cylinder housing, between the battery and light cover;   (e) a push button extending through the first cylinder housing at its second end, perpendicular to the axis of the first cylinder housing;   (f) a push button return system mounted below the push button   (g) a switch printed circuit board mounted below the push button return system;   (h) a switch within the switch printed circuit board;   (i) a microcontroller unit, within the switch printed circuit board, capable of measuring time and a max time limit;   (j) a second light-controlling printed circuit board;   (k) a switch printed circuit board stand below the switch printed circuit board and rigidly affixed within the first cylinder housing;   (l) a second cylindrical housing with a first and second end, the first end of the second cylindrical housing rigidly and permanently affixed to the second end of the first cylinder housing;   (m) an e-liquid blocker affixed to the first end of the second cylindrical housing;   (n) a mouth cover affixed to the second end of the second cylindrical housing, the mouth cover including a passage through its axis to allow air to pass through;   (o) a long glass fiber pipe within the second cylindrical, parallel to the second cylindrical housing axis;   (p) a short glass fiber pipe within the second cylindrical, parallel to the second cylindrical housing axis;   (q) a medical cotton for the storage of e-liquid, wrapped around the long and short glass fiber pipes;   (r) a heating wire within the long glass fiber pipe or wound externally around the long glass fiber pipe;
