  • Vaporizer apparatus
    Patent number: 10709173
    Abstract: Vaporizer apparatuses are provided. In some implementations, an apparatus includes a cartridge and a body. The cartridge comprises a mouthpiece, a storage compartment, and a heater chamber comprising a resistive heating element configured to generate an aerosol comprising vaporizable material and air passing along an airflow path. The body comprises a receptacle configured to insertably receive the cartridge with the heater chamber disposed within the receptacle. The airflow path comprises an air inlet passage and a fluid connection in the cartridge, connecting the heater chamber and the mouthpiece. The air inlet passage has a first side formed by an exterior surface of the cartridge and a second side formed by an internal surface of the receptacle when the receptacle insertably receives the cartridge. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

  • Vaporizer apparatus
    Patent number: 10667560
    Abstract: Cartridges for use with a vaporizer device are provided. In some implementations, a cartridge having a first end and a second end comprises a mouthpiece, a wick assembly comprising a heating element and a wicking material, a wick housing comprising a base having a hole and a first pair of mating members comprising first and second U-shaped members, a tank, and a tube connected with the hole. The tank includes an end wall proximate to the second end (having a vent) and a second pair of mating members, extending from the end wall towards the first end of the cartridge, comprising third and fourth U-shaped members. The first and second pair of mating members hold the wick assembly within the tank and define a chamber comprising at least part of the wick assembly and a reservoir configured to hold vaporizable material.

  • ON-DEMAND, PORTABLE CONVECTION VAPORIZER
    Publication number: 20200163378
    Abstract: On-demand, hand-held vaporizer that operates primarily by convection. The vaporizer is configured to permit very rapid (e.g., within a few seconds) heating of air drawn through an oven chamber to a predetermined or selectable vaporizing temperature to vaporize a material (e.g., loose leaf plant material, etc.) that is held in the oven chamber. The vaporizer provides efficient transfer of air being heated as well as rapid delivery of vaporizable material to a user.
