  • Publication number: 20230028847
    Abstract: A vaporizer device may include a vaporizer body configured to couple with at least one vaporizer cartridge including a first reservoir and a second reservoir. The vaporizer device may include a first aerosol generation mechanism configured to generate a first part of an aerosol by at least vaporizing a first aerosol component present in a first vaporizable material in the first reservoir. The vaporizer device may also include a second aerosol generation mechanism configured to generate a second part of the aerosol by vaporizing a first aerosol component present in a second vaporizable material at a second temperature. The first part of the aerosol and the second part of the aerosol may be delivered, via a mouthpiece, to a user of the vaporizer device.

  • Publication number: 20220369706
    Abstract: A vaporizer device includes a cartridge and a vaporizer body. The cartridge includes reservoir configured to hold a vaporizable material. The cartridge further includes a channel extending from the reservoir and having an opening at an end of the channel. The vaporizer body includes a movable block. The vaporizer body further includes a controller configured to actuate the movable block, the actuating of the movable block moving the movable block towards the channel to compress the channel, and the compression of the channel ejects, from the opening, at least a portion of the vaporizable material. The vaporizer body further includes a heating element positioned toward the opening of the channel when the cartridge is coupled with the vaporizer body, the heating element configured to vaporize the portion of the vaporizable material.
