Apple making a vape?

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Apple recently filed a patent for a vaporizer.

 

Quote-

" The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Thursday published an Apple patent application for a new "vaporizer" technology. The patent application describes a "chamber body" that can take an unidentified substance that will then be "vaporized or sublimated into a vapor." " (Fox News)

As someone who vapes (lightly)  this is a thing I would never buy. Based on the fact that all Apple products are overpriced and are garbage, im out. I think people will buy it just for the brand

This kind of makes sense. The only people who really vape in my area are Apple Fanboys or Fangirls.

Seems like something most younger apple fans would buy and use.

Id like to see what happens with this. I vape because I enjoy the flavor and I find it very relaxing (0 Nicotine)

Isn't vaping illegal in some respect or does it have legal limitations?

 

Also, this ain't gonna fly with the education market once students come to school vaping.

 

Also, vaping is disgusting as shit and should be illegal.

actual patent if people want to see it - looks very simple and not something that was focused on really seriously 

[DocSwag]

Is it just me or is it possible for this to be used in cooling stuff in CPUs and GPUs? Or is the design definitely not for cooling?

Its illegal for anyone under 18 to buy anything for it

 

Alot of my friends vape at school or at least bring it to school, and I know teachers know of at least one person who does. He hasn't been suspended

 

I don't really see how it is disgusting. But im not really in the mood to argue it now. (PM me and ill get back to it later if you want)

how is this patentable? this is a prior invention

Y'all expecting an eCig from Apple, I'm expecting a potentially expensive Vics "competitor."

Pound salt. When it comes to smoking the tar and toilet cleaner filled cigars and cigarettes sold massively throughout the US and China, vaping is the far more favorable alternative.

Not really. It can be used to see airflow though.

Eh, it's different for each state. in my state anyone at any age can vape (that is if there's no regulated substances in it)

It's not the idea of the name of the device, it's the design of the device. Intel patents their cpu designs, amd patents their cpu designs

The patent laws of the US are stupid and easily exploited if you have a large team of lawyers, like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.

Apparently, Apple has been getting into medical tech. Vics has their vaporizers, and have their uses for things like colds, minor breathing problems, etc.

He means the design itself, and while I don't believe that this exact design has been used, it's awfully close to some of Vics' products.

I do know that I have 0 idea how one would get the juice to the coils

[Dabombinable]

So its these, only with liquids instead? How can Apple patent this?

This looks similar to a Vicks vaporizer, with the big difference being that it doesn't appear that the heating plate is below the water line.

 

Either Apple's design involves heating the core to the point that the chamber becomes a figurative hell hole (makes sense, Steve Jobs was practically Satan) via radiation of heat, or it just doesn't work worth a crap.
