First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A system for collecting and transmitting smoker data for an electronic cigarette, the system comprising the following: an electronic cigarette power supply comprising the following: a tubular housing; and a battery mounted within the tubular housing; and a data logging device irremovably coupled to and within the tubular housing, wherein the data logging device is suspended within the tubular housing by spring-loaded, pressing arms, and further wherein the data logging device is configured to collect and wirelessly transmit smoker data collected during use of the electronic cigarette. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting mechanism is selected from the group consisting of spring-loaded, pressing arms; a friction-fit suspension plate; a ribbon cable; a wire cluster/set; a wiring harness; and a socket. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data logging device further comprises an edge connector. 4. The system of claim 3 , further comprising a ribbon cable electrically connecting the battery to the edge connector. 5. The system of claim 3 , further comprising at least one electrical wire connecting the battery to the edge connector, whereby the data logging device is separable from the at least one electrical wire by severing the edge connector inboard from a location where the at least one electrical wire is connected to the edge connector. 6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one electrical wire is directly soldered to an outer edge of the edge connector. 7. A system for collecting and transmitting smoker data for an electronic cigarette, the system comprising the following: an electronic cigarette cartomizer comprising the following: a tubular housing; and a heater mounted within the tubular housing; and a data logging device irremovably coupled to and within the tubular housing, wherein the data logging device comprises spring-loaded, pressing arms that suspend the data logging device within the tubular housing, and further wherein the data logging device is configured to collect and wirelessly transmit smoker data collected during use of the electronic cigarette. 8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the mounting mechanism is selected from the group consisting of spring-loaded, pressing arms; a friction-fit suspension plate; a ribbon cable; a wire cluster/set; a wiring harness; and a socket. 9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the data logging device further comprises an edge connector. 10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a ribbon cable electrically connecting the heater to the edge connector. 11. The system of claim 9 , further comprising at least one electrical wire connecting the heater to the edge connector, whereby the data logging device is separable from the at least one electrical wire by severing the edge connector inboard from a location where the at least one electrical wire is connected to the edge connector. 12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one electrical wire is directly soldered to an outer edge of the edge connector. 13. A system for collecting and transmitting smoker data for an electronic cigarette, the system comprising the following: an electronic cigarette power supply comprising the following: a tubular housing; and a battery mounted within the tubular housing; and a data logging device irremovably coupled to and within the tubular housing, wherein the data logging device comprises a mounting mechanism configured to suspend the data logging device within the tubular housing, and further wherein the data logging device is configured to collect and transmit smoker data collected during use of the electronic cigarette, wherein the data logging device further comprises an edge connector; and at least one electrical wire connecting the battery to the edge connector, whereby the data logging device is separable from the at least one electrical wire by severing the edge connector inboard from a location where the at least one electrical wire is connected to the edge connector. 14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one electrical wire is directly soldered to an outer edge of the edge connector. 15. A system for collecting and transmitting smoker data for an electronic cigarette, the system comprising the following: an electronic cigarette cartomizer comprising the following: a tubular housing; and a heater mounted within the tubular housing; and a data logging device irremovably coupled to and within the tubular housing, wherein the data logging device comprises a mounting mechanism configured to suspend the data logging device within the tubular housing, and further wherein the data logging device is configured to collect and transmit smoker data collected during use of the electronic cigarette, wherein the data logging device further comprises an edge connector; and at least one electrical wire connecting the heater to the edge connector, whereby the data logging device is separable from the at least one electrical wire by severing the edge connector inboard from a location where the at least one electrical wire is connected to the edge connector. 16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one electrical wire is directly soldered to an outer edge of the edge connector.
