It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

General Overview:

It should be noted that the descriptions that follow, for example, in terms of a dual product vaporizer method and devices are described for illustrative purposes and the underlying system can apply to any number and multiple types of vaping products. In one embodiment of the present invention, the dual product vaporizer method and devices can be configured using two draw holes. The dual product vaporizer method and devices can be configured to include two heaters and can be configured to include two vaping product cartridges using the present invention.

Dual Product Vaporizer Method and Devices:

FIG. 1 shows for illustrative purposes only an example of a dual product vaporizer method and devices of one embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a dual product vaporizer 190 for use in vaping two different types of products at the same time. The dual product vaporizer 190 is convenient for those people vaping nicotine and THC/CBD. A user can combine vaping both nicotine and THC simultaneously. In another embodiment a user can combine vaping both nicotine and CBD simultaneously. This is appealing as it is common for THC vape users to also vape nicotine. The THC vaping industry is expanding as more states legalize recreational cannabis, and nicotine vapes are in demand as well.

The dual product vaporizers are heat resistant, food grade plastic pods 100 of one section where the user draws the atomized products. The balance of the housing is an aluminum casing 110. One terminus includes individual draw-holes 120 for each of the different products. An enclosed LED light/battery indicator 130 located on the interior projects light through the heat resistant, food grade plastic pods 100 to keep the user aware of the battery charge remaining on the dual product vaporizer 190. A laser-embossed logo 140 identifies the dual product vaporizer 190 brand so users can more readily find the product of one embodiment.

Internal Elements of the Dual Product Vaporizer:

FIG. 2 shows for illustrative purposes only an example of a transparent view of the internal elements of the dual product vaporizer of one embodiment. FIG. 2 shows the interior of the dual product vaporizer 190 where the plastic and aluminum housing is transparent so the interior elements are visible. A draw hole 200 is showing at one end of a stainless steel vapor path 210. At the opposite end of the stainless steel vapor path 210 is a nichrome coil heater 220.

The nichrome coil heater 220 powered by the battery is used to atomize a product. The nichrome coil heater 220 in one embodiment includes a wireless digital thermostat 221 allowing a user to change the nichrome coil heater 220 temperature setting wirelessly using a dual product vaporizer app for transmitting to the wireless digital thermostat 221 the user's temperature change setting. A magnetic base for easy attachment 230 is positioned at the end of the dual product vaporizer 190 opposite to the draw hole. The food-grade, heat-resistant plastic housing 240 is shown in a transparent illustration. A silica wick 250 is inserted into a product cartridge to heat the product from the nichrome coil heater 220. The elements of the dual product vaporizer 190 shown are a part of the pods 260 that make up the dual product vaporizer 190 in one embodiment.

The dual product vaporizer 190 combines in one embodiment both THC and nicotine into one vaporized hit. The dual product vaporizer 190 includes at least one rechargeable battery 270 and two separate cartridges to be used in combination. Each user will be able to choose the amount of nicotine they desire, and the strain of THC they prefer. In one embodiment a first at least one rechargeable battery 270 will automatically power two temperature settings. In another embodiment a second at least one rechargeable battery 270 includes sensors that determine the distillate to be atomized. The second at least one rechargeable battery 270 includes a digital processor and digital memory device to determine and adjust temperature settings to automatically provide power to the nichrome coil heater 220 to the atomizer to reach a predetermined temperature for the determined distillate.

It is common for a THC vape user to vape nicotine as well, about 70%. In another embodiment the dual product vaporizer 190 can also provide CBD cartridges for those who do not enjoy the effects of THC. The user can elect to vape only one product for example one from the group of THC, Nicotine, or CBD independently. The liquid products for the cartridges will include nicotine liquid and premium quality THC/CBD distillates. The vaporizer includes two separate atomizers, one for nicotine and a second atomizer for THC/CBD since they burn at different temperatures. The cartridges for nicotine and THC/CBD will be independent, but fit flush to each other with the use of a magnet. The vaporizer is configured to operate both heating atomizers independently with only one cartridge inserted for either heating atomizer. In another embodiment the vaporizer is configured to house two heating atomizers that operate at the same temperature to accommodate for example two cartridges for THC/CBD of one embodiment.

The use and sale of THC is regulated and each state has different licensing regulations. Some states permit and have legalized within that state the use of THC cannabis for medical and recreational use. Other states have legalized the use of THC cannabis for medical purposes only but not recreational use. In yet other states they have not legalized the use of THC cannabis for any purpose. CBD has been legalized by the federal government if it's derived from hemp plants and if it has less than 0.3% THC. Therefore the provision and sale of THC and CBD cartridges for the dual product vaporizer 190 will abide by the Federal and individual state laws.
