Abstract: Vaporization devices and methods of operating them are described. In particular, cartridges are described for use with a vaporizer device body in which a cartridge is received in a receptacle of the vaporizer device body in one of two orientations. A heater chamber in the cartridge may be proximate to a bottom end of the cartridge and/or disposed between a storage compartment configured to hold a vaporizable material and the bottom end of the cartridge.

Abstract: Vaporizer devices and apparatuses are provided. In some implementations, a cartridge for use with a vaporization device comprises a wick, a resistive heating element in contact with the wick, a heater chamber configured to be disposed within a receptacle of the vaporization device, a plastic enclosure defining at least a portion of the heater chamber, and heater contacts comprising exposed contact tabs and fixation sites disposed proximate to opposite sides of the heater chamber, the heater contacts having surfaces defining at least a portion of the opposite sides, the exposed heater contact tabs positioned and configured to electrically couple with contacts within the receptacle. The resistive heating element is attached to and suspended between the fixation sites, the plastic enclosure is configured to receive the surfaces, and the heater chamber comprises at least a portion of the resistive heating element and at least a portion of the wick.
