When the far wick 134 and the near wick 136 are used together, the air gap is formed between the distal wick 134 and the near wick 136 by the weir portion 136-3 shown in FIG.

The proximal wick 234 is configured to fit within the nebulizer housing 232. As can be seen in Figures 41-43, the proximal wick 234 includes two cylinders of different diameters and a vertebral or pointed end 234-1. A chamfered surface transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the proximal wick 234 to a larger diameter at a proximal end of the proximal wick 234.

The nebulizer housing 132 is configured to fit within the main housing 1〇2. As can be seen in Figures 44-48, the nebulizer housing 132 generally includes two cylinders of different diameters. A chamfered surface 132-3 transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the nebulizer housing 132 to a larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 132. The larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 13 2 is configured to fit into the tube sleeve 140. The cylinder at the distal end terminates with a spade tip 132_2. This spade tip 132-2 can pierce one of the seals on the crucible 150 to allow the material to be evaporated to be in direct contact with the distal core 134. The tip of other shapes is also possible (e.g., 'needle or spear shape'). The chamfered surface 132-3 has one or more apertures 132-1. These holes allow air to pass through the nebulizer housing 132 via suction into the distal wick 134. This suction can be supplied by a user of the personal vaporizer 100 sucking or inhaling on the inhalation flap 114 and/or the suction inlet 116. Air drawn into the distal wick 134 enters the distal wick 134 on or near the chamfered surface between the two cylinders of the distal wick 134. The air that is drawn into the distal wick 134 expels some of the material being evaporated that has been absorbed by the distal wick 134 such that the material exits the distal wick 134 and enters the distal wick 134. When it is in the air gap between the near wick 136, it is atomized. The heating element disposed about the near wick 136 can then evaporate at least some of the atomized material. In one embodiment, the diameter of one or more of the apertures 132-1 can be at zero. 02 miles and 0. 0625 The range between miles. 155443. Doc •19· 201208722 In one embodiment, the hole 132_丨 is disposed at the front edge of the chamfered surface, and a material to be evaporated which is not accumulated is placed in the path of entering the air. It is only possible to go through the large straight (or head) end of the distal wick 134. When air enters this region of the distal wick 134, it causes the material to be vaporized suspended in the distal wick 134 to exit toward an air chamber between the distal wick 134 and the proximal wick 136. When the discharged material to be evaporated reaches the surface of the distal wick 134, the negative pressure into the air and the chamber drives it out of the wick. This produces an atomized cloud of the material to be evaporated. In a consistent embodiment, the diameter of the head of the distal wick 234 is variable and smaller than the diameter of the proximal wick 13 6 . This allows air of a regulated volume to bypass the proximal wick 136 and directly enter the cavity between the distal wick 134 and the distal wick 136 without first passing through the distal wick 136.

The nebulizer housing 232 is configured to fit within the main housing 102 and the light pipe sleeve 140. As can be seen in Figures 49-53, the nebulizer housing 232 generally includes two cylinders of different diameters. A chamfered surface 23 2-3 transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the nebulizer housing 232 to a larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 232. The larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 232 is configured to be pressed into the tube sleeve 140.

The chamfered surface 232-3 has one or more apertures 232-1. These apertures allow air to pass through the nebulizer housing 232 via suction into the proximal wick 234. The air drawn into the near wick, 234 enters the near wick 234 on or near the chamfered surface between the two cylinders of the near wick 234. The air drawn into the near wick 234 is being evaporated. Some of the material that has been absorbed by the near wick 234 is expelled such that it is atomized as it exits the near wick 234 and enters the air gap formed between the near wick 234 and the near wick 136. The heating element disposed about the near wick 13 6 can then evaporate at least some of the atomized material being vaporized. In one embodiment, one or more of the holes 232-1 may have a diameter of 〇. 〇 2 miles and 0. The range between 0625 miles. In one embodiment, the placement of the apertures 232-1 at the leading edge of the chamfered surface places a volume of material to be evaporated in a set volume in the path of entering the air. This incoming air has nowhere to go but only passes through the head of the distal wick 234. "When the air enters this region of the distal wick 234, it evaporates in the distal wick 2343. The material is discharged toward an air chamber between the distal wick 2343 and the proximal wick 236. When the discharged material to be evaporated reaches the surface of the distal wick 232, the negative pressure into the air and the chamber drives it out of the wick. This produces an atomized cloud of the material to be evaporated. In one embodiment, the diameter of the head of the distal wick 234 can vary and be smaller than the diameter of the proximal wick 236. This allows an adjusted volume of air to bypass the distal wick 236 and directly enter the cavity between the proximal wick 234 and the distal wick 236 without first passing through the distal wick 236. 155443.

Figure 69 is a cross section of the scribe line along the cutting line shown in Figure 66. As shown in Figures 65-69, the crucible 15" includes a hollow cylindrical section having at least one outer flat surface 158. When the dragon 15 is inserted into the distal end of the personal vaporizer unit (10), the flat surface 158 forms an open space between the outer surface of the g and one of the inner surfaces of the tube sleeve 140. This space boundary is used to draw air from the outside of the personal evaporator unit through the personal vaporizer unit just as it is inhaled by the user along with the vaporized material. This space also helps define the volume of air drawn into the individual evaporator unit 100. A different mixture of vaporized material and air can be produced by defining the volume of air that is typically drawn into the unit. The hollow portion of the S 15 0 is configured as a reservoir for holding the substance to be evaporated by the individual evaporator unit 1 . The hollow portion of E15q is held in direct contact with the far wick 134 or 234 and is intended to evaporate. &amp; allows the far wick 134 or 234 to be filled with material to be evaporated.

This cap or seal can be pierced by the end of the nebulizer housing 132 or the pointed end 2341 of the proximal wick 234. When inserted into the personal evaporator unit 1 匣, the ram pad 157 defines an air passage between the tube sleeve 140 and the end of the main housing 102. This air passage allows air to reach the air passage defined by the flat surface 158. The hollow portion of the crucible 150 also includes one or more passages 154. The ends of the channels are exposed to air received through the air passage defined by the flat surface 158. These passages allow air to enter the hollow portion of the crucible 150 when the material contained in the crucible is drawn into a remote wick 134 or 234. Allowing air to enter the hollow portion of the crucible when the material contained in the crucible 150 is removed prevents a vacuum from forming inside the crucible 150. This vacuum prevents the material contained in the crucible 15 from being absorbed into the far wick 134 or 234. In one embodiment, &lt;g&lt;1&gt;&gt; 50 can be at least partially translucent.
