Abstract

The electronic cigarette device releasably houses a plurality of electronic cigarettes around a central shaft and between an upper bracket and a lower bracket, a cigarette holder, and the first frame. The first cigarette holder, the holder, the central shaft, the holder and lower bracket are sequentially connected. The central shaft ends are provided in a sleeve on the stand and holder, and a plurality of electronic cigarettes are disposed between the upper bracket and the bracket, and on display around the central shaft of circumferentially distributed. The first cigarette holder end surface has a cigarette jack, cigarette jack first communicating hole. In the second end of the central shaft, the connector sleeve is provided.

Claims

1. A multiple mode vapor generator, comprising:

a. a plurality of electronic cigarettes, wherein each electronic cigarette further includes a housing, a first mouthpiece at an upper end of the electronic cigarette, a batter, a vapor generator, and a bottom cover at a lower end of the electronic cigarette;

b. a central shaft, wherein the plurality of electronic cigarettes are removably mounted around the central shaft, wherein the central shaft is telescopically retracting;

c. a bracket connecting to an upper end of the central shaft, wherein the first mouthpiece is mounted to a first socket formed on the bracket, wherein the first mouthpiece has a fluid communication with the first socket;

d. a holder connecting to a lower end of the central shaft, wherein the bottom cover fits at least partially within a second socket formed on the holder;

wherein the central shaft, bracket and holder are configured to provide modular release of any, one, or all of the plurality of electronic cigarettes, wherein the bracket and holder are configured to clamp the plurality of electronic cigarettes between the first socket and the second socket, wherein the multiple mode vapor generator operates in a first mode where the plurality of electronic cigarettes are activated together and in a second mode where the plurality of electronic cigarettes are activated.

2. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 1, further comprising an airflow sensor mounted to the housing in each of the plurality of electronic cigarettes for automatic activation of each of the plurality of electronic cigarettes.

3. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 2, wherein the airflow sensor is mounted using a silicone ring on the bottom cover located on each of the plurality of cigarettes.

4. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 2, wherein a first mouthpiece holder has a pair of mouthpiece sockets including a first mouthpiece socket and a second mouthpiece socket that are in fluid communication with each of the first mouthpiece of each of the plurality of electronic cigarettes, wherein the pair of mouthpiece sockets allows operation in a shared mode so that a first user can access the first mouthpiece socket and a second user can access the second mouthpiece socket.

5. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 4, wherein the pair of mouthpiece sockets are formed on an upper surface of the bracket, wherein the mouthpiece sockets are both in fluid communication with each of the first sockets and consequently also each of the first mouthpieces.

6. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 2, wherein each of the electronic cigarettes further includes a diamond light retained by a retaining ring that secures the diamond light to the housing.

7. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 6, further including a lower bracket mounted to the holder, wherein the lower bracket has plurality of holes that are circumferentially distributed around the lower bracket to reveal the diamond lamp.

8. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 6, with the first socket being gradually reduced in diameter from its bottom to fit to a contoured profile of the first mouthpiece.

9. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 2, further comprising:

a second mouthpiece mounted on a second mouthpiece holder, wherein the second mouthpiece holder is mounted on a first mouthpiece holder that in turn is connected to the bracket.

10. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 2, wherein each electronic cigarette comprises:

a sleeve, a fiberglass tube, a silicone member, and a heating wire.

11. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 10, wherein the silicone member includes an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder, wherein the upper cylinder has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the lower cylinder, wherein the fiberglass tube fits on the upper cylinder.

12. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 11, wherein the lower cylinder, silicone member and sleeve are mounted above the battery, wherein a cotton yarn is disposed between the fiberglass tube and the sleeve wherein the heating wire passes through the silicone member for electrical connection to the battery.

13. The multiple mode vapor generator of claim 11, wherein:

a first spacer is configured to provide a gasket seal with the first mouthpiece to facilitate fluid communication.

14. A multiple mode vapor generator, comprising:

a. a plurality of electronic cigarettes, wherein each electronic cigarette further includes a first mouthpiece at an upper end of the electronic cigarette, a battery, a vapor generator and a bottom cover at a lower end of the electronic cigarette;

b. a central shaft, wherein the plurality of electronic cigarettes are removably mounted around the central shaft, wherein the central shaft is telescopically retracting;

c. a bracket connecting to an upper end of the central shaft, wherein the first mouthpiece is mounted to at least three first sockets formed on the bracket, wherein the mouthpiece has a fluid communication with the first socket;

d. a holder connecting to a lower end of the central shaft, wherein the bottom cover fits at least partially within at least three second sockets formed on the holder;

wherein the central shaft, bracket and holder are configured to provide modular release of any, one, or all of the plurality of electronic cigarettes, wherein the bracket and holder are configured to clamp the plurality of electronic cigarettes between the at least three first sockets and the at least three second sockets, wherein the multiple mode vapor generator operates in a first mode wherein the plurality of electronic cigarettes are activated together and in a second mode where the plurality of electronic cigarettes are activated.
