Watertight vape pen device

Abstract

A device for inhaling of vapor that includes a water-resistant layer encasing the device to guard against humid environments and/or submersion in liquid. The invention consists of a vaping device, a sleeve fitting over the vaping device, and a cap for closing the sleeve around the vaping device to form a water-resistant layer surrounding the vaping device. The sleeve includes a small aperture through which the vapor produced through the mouthpiece of the vaping device can escape and be inhaled, allowing the vaping device to be used while equipped with the water-resistant sleeve.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a vape pen, the vape pen having an elongate body having a base end and a vapor release end;   a water sealing sleeve (“the sleeve”) detachably coupled with the vape pen and extending from the base end to the vapor release end, the sleeve having an open end positioned proximate to the vape pen base end; and   a sealing cap, the sealing cap for detachable attachment to the sleeve open end to form a hermetic, water-proof seal with the base end, whereby water under less than two atmospheric ambient pressure will not intrude through the attached combination of the sleeve and the sealing cap.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing cap is inserted at least partially within the sleeve when the sealing cap is attached to the sleeve open end. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing cap is inserted at least partially around the sleeve open end when the sealing cap is attached to the sleeve open end. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a coupling strip, the coupling strip having a cap end coupled with the sealing cap and a sleeve end coupled with the sleeve. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve, the sealing cap and the coupling strip form a unitary body. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve comprises elastic material. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the sealing cap comprises elastic material. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sealing cap comprises elastic material. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the vape pen further comprises a bulging feature of the elongate body, and the sleeve comprises a bulge receiver, the bulge receiver adapted to conform around and position against the vape pen bulging feature. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve further comprises a slit end having a slit, the slit end positioned distally from the sleeve open end, and the slit adapted to form a water-resistant seal when in a resting state and to alternately allow vapor to exit the sleeve when a user applies pressure to the slit end. 
     
     
         11 . A device adapted for housing a vape pen, the vape pen having an elongate body having a base end and a vapor release end, and the device comprising:
 a water sealing sleeve (“the sleeve”) detachably coupled with the vape pen and extending from the base end to the vapor release end, the sleeve having an open end positioned proximate to the vape pen base end; and   a sealing cap, the sealing cap for detachable attachment to the sleeve open end to form a hermetic, water-proof seal with the base end, whereby water under less than two atmospheric ambient pressure will not intrude through the attached combination of the sleeve and the sealing cap.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the sealing cap is inserted at least partially within the sleeve when the sealing cap is attached to the sleeve open end. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the sealing cap is inserted at least partially around the sleeve open end when the sealing cap is attached to the sleeve open end. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 11 , further comprising a coupling strip, the coupling strip having a cap end coupled with the sealing cap and a sleeve end coupled with the sleeve. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the sleeve, the sealing cap and the coupling strip form a unitary body. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the sleeve comprises elastic material. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the sealing cap comprises elastic material. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the sealing cap comprises elastic material. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the vape pen further comprises a bulging feature of the elongate body, and the sleeve comprises a bulge receiver, the bulge receiver adapted to conform around and position against the vape pen bulging feature. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the sleeve further comprises a slit end having a slit, the slit end positioned distally from the sleeve open end, and the slit adapted to form a water-resistant seal when in a resting state and to alternately allow vapor to exit the sleeve when a user applies pressure to the slit end.
