Vapor device with switch assembly

Abstract

A multi-source electronic vapor cigarette which overcomes the shortcomings of current devices. The device allows a user, when using the device for smoking cessation, to select different levels of nicotine at different times of the day to satisfy different levels of craving. The device holds multiple individual containers of a different liquid concentration of nicotine, flavored or not, or flavored medium only, within one device. A user can select a desired refillable container by operation of a switch to create a vapor passage from the desired container to the mouthpiece. For flavored vapor users, operation of the switch will select a container holding the desired flavor. The user can take a puff of one flavor vapor followed by another without mixing flavors within the device. The device allows any desired combination by inserting individual containers the user fills with their choice of liquid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic vapor device comprising:
 a multi-chambered main body configured to hold a plurality of changeable fluid containers;   a mouthpiece, fluidly coupled to the main body;   a switch assembly including at least one air tube for fluidly coupling the mouthpiece to the multi-chambered main body;   a power source; and   a vaporizing source capable of being activated by the power source;   wherein liquid within a changeable fluid container loaded into a chamber of the main body is vaporized by the vaporizing source when activated, and the vapor is drawn by a user from the container through a vapor passage comprised of the air tube and the mouthpiece.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 1 , wherein the switch assembly allows selection between a plurality of fluid containers loaded within chambers of the multi-chambered main body. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fluid containers comprise one of either a different flavor for each container, a different concentrations of a base material for each container, or both a different flavor and different concentration of a base material for each container. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 1 , further comprising a one-way valve positioned within the vapor passage. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of power switches electrically connected to the power source. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece is retractable into the main body. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 1 , wherein the vaporizing source is positioned within each of the fluid containers and electrically connects to the power source when loaded into a chamber of the main body. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic vapor device of  claim 1 , wherein the switch assembly is slideable to change between the plurality of fluid containers loaded into the main body. 
     
     
         9 . A method for providing multiple vapor sources to a user for inhalation, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing an electronic device comprising:
 a multi-chambered main body configured to hold a plurality of changeable fluid containers; 
 a mouthpiece, fluidly coupled to the main body; 
 a switch assembly including a sliding switch and at least one air tube for fluidly coupling the mouthpiece to the multi-chambered main body; 
 a power source; and 
 a vaporizing source capable of being activated by the power source; 
   loading a plurality of fluid containers into the multi-chambered main body of the device;   selecting one of the plurality of fluid containers for immediate use by operation of the switch;   activating the power source of the electronic device so as to deliver an electric current to the vaporizing source;   vaporizing fluid within the selected fluid container; and   inhaling the vaporized fluid by drawing it from the fluid container, through the air tube and into the mouthpiece.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising the steps of:
 deactivating the power source;   selecting a different fluid container for immediate use by operation of the switch;   reactivating the power source to deliver electric current to the vaporizing source;   vaporizing fluid within the selected fluid container; and   inhaling the vaporized fluid.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the step of loading a plurality of fluid containers comprises one of either the step of loading a different flavor for each container, loading a different concentrations of a base material for each container, or loading both a different flavor and different concentration of a base material for each container.
