Abstract: A vaporizer includes a rigid rectangular housing having a length, a width, a height, a proximal end, and a distal end. A battery is positioned in the rectangular housing. An inline USB connection is positioned inside the rectangular housing at the proximal end in a fixed position such that the inline USB connection does not extend outside the rectangular housing. The advantageous inline USB connection is an improvement over existing USB connection methods, providing but not limited to fewer components, more stability, more protection, and a streamlined appearance.
