Logic Technology Secures E-Cigarette Patent : Convenience Store Decisions

logic-ecigs.jpg


The patent covers a unique digital counter the lets the user know precisely how many puffs are remaining in the e-cigarette, Logic CEO Eli Alelov told Convenience Store Decisions.

“This is new technology that will change the way customers look at electronic cigarettes,” Alelov said. “We’re very proud to be launching this technology to continue helping convenience store retailers grow e-cigarette sales.”

Logic Technology, based in Livingston, N.J., could begin marketing the product within the next 10-12 months, Alelov said. He anticipates the digital counters to be available nationwide by the beginning of next summer.

The meter is on the battery ...
Possibly the meter resets to Zero when the mouth piece is removed
then resets to a pre-set number when a new one is screwed on.

So ... the meter probably isn't monitoring the juice level but is
actually a "count-down" meter. It has nothing to do with length
of drag ... when On then it registers as 1 drag regardless of the
length

Or ... something along this line

I don't try to keep up with all the e-cigs and toys available ...
While surfing, I ran across a site stating "puff counters are nothing new"
and did a quick search. Found eGo batteries with "puff counters"

Click Here and Click Here

The posted article doesn't make any reference to "juice"
So ... its a "battery" count down puff meter

Looks like this valuable innovation will make all existing technology obsolete. NOT I lost the fuel gage on my one car for a couple years until the fuel pump went and it all got fixed at the same time. I worked around the problem and never ran out of gas. We've never had a gauge to tell us when we needed a fill up on battery or liquid, don't need one now.

Sounds like me too :D. Didn't have a fuel gauge on my pick-up for about 2-3 years. Would fill up the tank according to the trip odometer. This was a number of years ago and I still reset the trip odometer on my cars when I fill the tank.

I was doing that with my old Thunderbird about 10 years ago. Then the odometer stopped working. 8-o

Wow. I hope this guy makes loads of money from his completely pointless patent. Basically a way to suck more juice from an already substandard battery.

I guess it could be a sign of things to come. People patenting all kinds of things associated with e-cigs. Always in this bloody world, people out to make a quick buck. Inevitably making products worse and worse by tying them up in needless litigation when patents are infringed. Sigh.

:facepalm:

LOL, that's the method I currently use on my bikes, just because you're talking so few gallons. I top those babies up and know exactly how far I can go before running low.

Is that what the odometer is for? I thought it measured how bad something smells!
 
I thought this looked good,however it is not what I thought it was.

As an ex PAD Marlboro lights smoker (I switched 100% to vaping without problems 2 years ago)I find myself constantly, I mean non stop vaping. I wape up with the E-Cig in my hand in the morning :)

When smoking, I use to count how many drags that I used to take on a normal cigarette,the result was on average 15 puffs. With smoking,you smoked one cig and then put it out and maybe an hour later had another one.

What I personally would like to see,is an Ecig,where you could predetermine the amount of puffs yould would like to take in 1 session,then the battery cuts out temporarily,and at that point you have an idea,ok I have vaped the equivalent of what I used to when I smoked.

I know,you could just choose to just count your puffs....but....it might be useful aswell to have the option to "limit" or "discipline" oneself.

Dr. Laugesen of Health New Zealand found that there was only a fraction (ranging from 1/10 to 1/3) of the nicotine in a puff of vapor as in a puff of smoke. So if you take the same number of puffs that you used to, you won't have the same blood levels of nicotine. It would be an interesting research project to compare nicotine per puff given different devices and different nicotine concentrations, and then to see what correlation there is between blood levels of nicotine (output) and nicotine per puff (input).

Dude, I do understand where you're coming from but for me (and I liked smoking and love vaping)- I really don't want to reference my vaping to smoking at all. To me, they are completely different and independent of each other.
