VAPORIZING RESERVOIR
First Claim
1. A vaporizing reservoir, comprising:
- a containment vessel including a first shaft port exposed to ambient and one or more sidewalls defining a body portion having an interior cavity and a vaporizing portion communicated to said interior cavity;
an inductive coil disposed within said vaporizing portion, said inductive coil electrically disconnected outside of said containment vessel and configured for inductive heating; and
an air shaft communicated to said vaporizing portion and extending to said first shaft port.

Abstract
A vaporizing reservoir including a containment vessel having a first shaft port exposed to ambient and one or more sidewalls defining a body portion having an interior cavity and a vaporizing portion communicated to the interior cavity; an inductive coil disposed within the vaporizing portion, the inductive coil electrically disconnected outside of the containment vessel and configured for inductive heating; and an air shaft communicated to the vaporizing portion and extending to the first shaft port. Fluid or solid material may be present in the interior cavity for vaporization. For fluid material, a wick may be included with the inductive coil to facilitate communication of the material to the inductive coil. An exterior inductive coil heats the inductive coil within the vaporizing portion and vaporizes the material communicated to the interior inductive coil. Vapor from the heated interior inductive coil is extracted through the air shaft.

11. A vaporizing apparatus, comprising:
-
a housing defining a compartment having an opening and including a portable power source, a controller, and an activating inducting coil wherein said compartment supports said activating inducting coil; a closure moveably coupled to said housing and configured to close said opening, said closure including a mouthpiece portion defining an air passageway therethrough; and a containment vessel disposed within said compartment, said containment vessel including a first shaft port exposed to ambient and one or more sidewalls defining a body portion having an interior cavity and a vaporizing portion communicated to said interior cavity; an inductive coil disposed within said vaporizing portion and positioned inside said activating inducting coil, said inductive coil electrically disconnected outside of said containment vessel and configured for inductive heating by said activating inducting coil; and an air shaft communicated to said vaporizing portion and extending to said first shaft port; and wherein said first shaft port is aligned with said passageway when said closure closes said opening. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A vaporizing method for vaporizing a material disposed within an interior cavity of a body portion of a containment vessel, the material producing a vapor at about a gassing temperature, comprising the steps of:
-
a) communicating the material to an inductive coil disposed within the containment vessel; b) heating inductively said inductive coil to at least about the gassing temperature; c) producing an inhalation product from the material communicated to said heated inductive coil; and
thereafter;d) extracting said inhalation product from an air shaft in communication with said inductive coil.

22. A vaporizing reservoir, comprising:
-
a containment vessel including a first shaft port exposed to ambient and one or more sidewalls defining a body portion having an interior cavity and a vaporizing portion communicated to said interior cavity; a heating coil disposed within said vaporizing portion, said heating coil electrically coupled to a power source outside of said containment vessel and configured for direct heating; and an air shaft communicated to said vaporizing portion and extending to said first shaft port.
