Abstract:
1. An apparatus that allows for the inhalation of the active elements of a substance comprising; a housing configured and sized to fit in the user's band during use; a power means that supplies power to a heating means, information retrieval and delivery means, time and temperature control means where said time and temperature control means produces a variable heat according to the specific substance being volatized in said apparatus, information input/output means where said information input/output means is in electrical, digital, optical or wireless communication with said power means and allows for adjustment of temperature and air flow, display means, fan means and cooling means; wherein said fan means delivers air to create an air steam which combines with heat from said heating means to provide a convection air stream; wherein said fan means delivers air according to information provided by said information retrieval and delivery means or said time and temperature control means; said convection air stream is directed over a source material holder which includes a cavity for holding a substance, creating a substance vapor air stream; said housing having therein a receptacle having at least one opening in communication with said source material holder for receiving said substance vapor air stream; wherein said apparatus allows the release of volatile element from said opening into the ambient air; wherein said time and temperature control means produces a variable heat according to the specific substance being volatized in said apparatus; where information is manually entered into said information input/output means which in turn electrically communicates with said power means, heating means and fan means to adjust the temperature within said apparatus for a specified time; where said information retrieval and delivery means is chosen from the group consisting of USB, firewire, ethernet, ilink interface, fiber optic, wireless Ethernet A/V interface, telephone cable interface, parallel interface, and serial interface connected to said apparatus and an information source.
