Patent ID: 8851068

Claim:
A personal inhalation device comprising: an outer shell having an orifice formed therein and containing a medium having one or more deliverables; an atomizing unit disposed within said shell, whereby said atomizing unit heats air flowing thereon, and the heated air atomizes said medium creating a vapor containing said deliverables when a user puffs on said orifice such that said vapor containing said deliverables is discharged through said orifice; control electronics for controlling operation of said personal inhalation device, wherein said control electronics meter the deliverables discharged with said vapor; an input device providing a user interface for selectively programming said control electronics to change at least one of a plurality of unique operating parameters of the personal inhalation device; and an indicator light; wherein said indicator light is an assembly comprising: a translucent base member mounted in one end of said outer shell, said base member having a socket formed therein, a translucent lens member having a body portion defining an outer surface, first connector extending from one end of said body portion, a second connector extending from another end of said body portion, said first connector being inserted into said socket, a tip member mounted on said second connector, and a light source mounted on said base member, said light source illuminating said outer surface of said body portion when activated; and wherein the input device comprises at least one device selected from the group consisting of a pin configured to define at least one of the unique operating parameters, and a pressure transducer triggered by a sequence of activities selected from the group consisting of a plurality of inhalations, a plurality of exhalations, a combination thereof, a plurality of tappings on the personal inhalation device, and a plurality of tappings of the personal inhalation device against a surface, the pressure transducer configured to define at least one of the unique operating parameters.
