  • Patent number: 10506828
    Abstract: A personal vaporizer having a pressure-induced liquid supply that allows a user to draw liquid from a liquid reservoir through applying a suction force on the mouthpiece. The amount of liquid drawn is proportional to the pressure induced, and proportional to the amount of vaporization a user may desire.

  • Patent number: 10368579
    Abstract: Quick-release mechanism of a microvaporizer having a quick-release cartridge coupled to a quick-release atomizer assembly by engaging a root portion of the quick-release cartridge with a receiver mechanism in the quick-release atomizer assembly, moving a trapdoor in the quick-release cartridge, and locking the root portion in the receiver mechanism. The quick-release cartridge is provided with at least one groove or depression on a root portion extension that can be inserted into and locked with the receiver mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10285446
    Abstract: A microvaporizer having a first switch connected to a mouthpiece of the microvaporizer and a timer, and a second switch that is connected to the timer and the battery of the microvaporizer. The microvaporizer is activated to produce vapor when the first switch is triggered and the second switch is also triggered within the timer's countdown of a predetermined period of time. When the second switch is not triggered before the timer countdown ends, the timer turns off automatically and the microvaporizer is not activated.

  • Patent number: 9877509
    Abstract: A heating element for a micro-vaporizer including a heating element, and a wetted surface or a fluid storing membrane that fit snuggly onto an outer surface of the heating element. Vaporization is achieved by applying a current through the heating element that is higher than an inherent power rating of the heating element to generate heat that vaporizes fluids supplied to the wetted surface or stored in the fluid storing membrane.
