Pod assembly, dispensing body, and e-vapor apparatus including the same
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. An e-vapor apparatus comprising:
- a pod assembly including a vapor precursor compartment, a device compartment, and a vapor channel extending through the vapor precursor compartment, the vapor precursor compartment configured to hold a vapor precursor, the device compartment configured to heat the vapor precursor to produce a vapor; and
a dispensing body defining a vapor passage and a through-hole, the vapor passage in fluidic communication with the through-hole, the through-hole configured to receive the pod assembly such that the vapor channel of the pod assembly is aligned with the vapor passage of the dispensing body.

Abstract
An e-vapor apparatus may include a pod assembly and a dispensing body configured to receive the pod assembly. A vaporizer may be disposed in the pod assembly and/or the dispensing body. The pod assembly may include a vapor precursor compartment, a device compartment, and a vapor channel extending from the device compartment and traversing the vapor precursor compartment. The pod assembly is a smart pod configured to receive, store, and transmit information that can be communicated with the dispensing body and/or another electronic device. The proximal portion of the dispensing body includes a vapor passage and a through-hole. The vapor passage may extend from an end surface of the proximal portion to a side wall of the through-hole. The through-hole is configured to receive the pod assembly such that the vapor channel of the pod assembly is aligned with the vapor passage of the dispensing body.
