Abstract

An electronic vaporizing device has a reservoir tank that reseals after penetration. A reservoir tank sealed with the septum membrane is exposed for refilling (and initially filling) a liquid solution with a syringe needle. The liquid solution contains an active ingredient such as nicotine, THC or pharmaceutical. The septum membrane is be pierced by the syringe needle and then automatically resealed when withdrawn due to durometer and anti-coring characteristics of the septum membrane.

Claims

1. An electronic vaporizing device having a septum membrane for filling and resealing a liquid solution, the electronic vaporizing device, comprising:

a mouth piece to inhale a vaporized form of the liquid solution;

reservoir tank sealed with the septum membrane in order to store the liquid solution, wherein the septum membrane is penetrated with a syringe needle for filling the liquid solution into the reservoir tank and, upon removal of the syringe needle, automatically resealing the reservoir tank to prevent leakage of the liquid solution;

an atomizer to vaporize a portion of the liquid solution; and

a power supply to provide power to the atomizer.

2. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the septum membrane is bonded with a support backing on one side and a reservoir cap on the other side, the reservoir cap including an opening for septum access by the syringe needle.

3. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the mouth piece covers the reservoir cap while also provides a chamber around the reservoir cap for vapor to pass from the reservoir tank to lips of the user during operation.

4. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the septum membrane has a durometer low enough to reseal after penetration of the syringe needle, the durometer high enough to prevent penetration of the liquid solution.

5. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the septum membrane has a porosity high enough for penetration of the syringe needle, the porosity low enough to prevent penetration of the liquid solution.

6. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the septum membrane is resistant to coring.

7. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the electronic vaporizing device is a disposable device.

8. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the electronic vaporizing device is a reusable device, and the septum membrane is re-penetrated for re-filling the reservoir tank.

9. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the electronic vaporizing device comprises an electronic cigarette and the reservoir tank is filled with the liquid solution containing nicotine.

10. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the electronic vaporizing device comprises an electronic marijuana dispenser and the reservoir tank is filled with the liquid solution containing THC.

11. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the electronic vaporizing device comprises an electronic marijuana dispenser and the reservoir tank is filled with the liquid solution containing a pharmaceutical or therapeutic.

12. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the electronic vaporizing device comprises a cigarette shape.

13. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the mouthpiece has a hole for both inhaling vapor and for syringe needle access to the septum.

14. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 1, wherein the reservoir tank includes permanent holes, and wherein the septum membrane generates a vacuum to prevent the liquid solution from otherwise leaking from the holes.
