Customizable inhalants for vaping
Abstract
Techniques for performing on-demand customization of inhalants to improve the vaping experience may include receiving a selected target flavor, comparing the selected target flavor with a base flavor, and receiving a chemical signature that can be used as a reference for injecting predetermined dosages of one or more pre-vapor formulations into a chamber of the vaping apparatus. The vaping apparatus may apply heat to a combination of the base flavor and the pre-vapor formulations in the chamber to generate the targeted flavor. This technique of on-demand customization of inhalants may improve the vaping experience and reduce the cost of vaping by dynamically adjusting the amount of chemicals to be added to the base flavor depending on a target experience or flavor.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A vaping apparatus comprising:
an interface to receive a selected target flavor; a processor coupled to the interface, the processor configured to execute instructions to:
compare the selected target flavor with a base flavor; and
receive a chemical signature based at least in part upon a comparison between the target flavor and the base flavor;
a chamber module coupled to the processor, the chamber module further comprising;
at least one nozzle that uses the chemical signature as a reference for injecting one or more pre-vapor formulations into a chamber; and
a vaporizing heater that heats the base flavor and the injected one or more pre-vapor formulations to generate the target flavor.
2 . The vaping apparatus claim 1 further comprising:
a wick that is positioned within a cartridge and dipped onto an oil to absorb the base flavor, wherein the base flavor includes a tobacco flavor.
3 . The vaping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor executes instructions to send a query to a server that includes data information of a comparison between chemical components of the target flavor and the base flavor.
4 . The vaping apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor receives the chemical signature in response to the query sent to the server.
5 . The vaping apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a look-up table (LUT) that includes corresponding chemical signatures for different target flavors.
6 . The vaping apparatus claim 1 further comprising:
a printed substrate that provides a dosage of printed dissolvable substrate into the chamber, wherein the dosage of printed dissolvable substrate is combined with the base flavor to generate the target flavor.
7 . The vaping apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the printed dissolvable substrate is used as an alternative to the pre-vapor formulations.
8 . The vaping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pre-vapor formulations include at least one of a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a purified terpene, glycerin, ethanol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or water.
9 . The vaping apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the target flavor includes the base flavor and an additional dosage of THC.
10 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a vaping apparatus, a selected target flavor; comparing the selected target flavor with a base flavor; receiving a chemical signature based at least in part upon a comparison between the target flavor and the base flavor; injecting one or more pre-vapor formulations into a chamber; and applying heat in the chamber that vaporizes the base flavor and the injected one or more pre-vapor formulations to generate the target flavor.
11 . The method of claim 10 further comprising:
dipping a wick that is positioned within a cartridge onto an oil to absorb the base flavor, wherein the base flavor includes a tobacco flavor.
12 . The method of claim 10 further comprising: sending a query to a server that includes data information of a comparison between chemical components of the target flavor and the base flavor.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the receiving of the chemical signature is in response to the sending of the query to the server.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein a resulting difference between the chemical components of the target flavor and the base flavor corresponds to the injected one or more pre-vapor formulations in the chamber.
15 . The method of claim 10 further comprising:
inserting into the chamber a dosage of printed dissolvable substrate, wherein the dosage of the printed dissolvable substrate is combined with the base flavor to generate the target flavor.
16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the pre-vapor formulations include at least one of a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a purified terpene, glycerin, ethanol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or water.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the target flavor includes the base flavor and an additional dosage of THC.
18 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more computers to collectively perform acts comprising:
receiving a selected target flavor; comparing the selected target flavor with a base flavor, wherein the base flavor includes a tobacco flavor; receiving a chemical signature based at least in part upon a comparison between the target flavor and the base flavor; injecting one or more pre-vapor formulations into a chamber; and applying heat in the chamber that vaporizes the base flavor and the injected one or more pre-vapor formulations to generate the target flavor.
19 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 18 , wherein the receiving of the chemical signature is in response to a sending of a query to a server.
20 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 18 , wherein the pre-vapor formulations include at least one of a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a purified terpene, glycerin, ethanol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or water.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
