The fluid reservoir body includes a vaporizing fluid therein, a fluid supply port in fluid flow communication with the vaporizing fluid, and a fluid port seal for the fluid supply port.
1. A fluid supply cartridge comprising an ejection head structure and a fluid reservoir body for removable attachment to the ejection head structure, wherein the ejection head structure comprises an ejection head and a flexible circuit attached to the ejection head structure for electrical communication with the ejection head, and wherein the fluid reservoir body comprises a vaporizing fluid therein, a fluid supply port in fluid flow communication with the vaporizing fluid, a first vent hole in a cover for the fluid reservoir body on a proximal end of the fluid reservoir body, and a fluid port seal adjacent to the fluid supply port, which fluid port seal and fluid supply port are on a distal end of the fluid reservoir body.
2. The fluid supply cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the fluid reservoir body further comprises a removable plug disposed in the fluid supply port thereof for shipping and storing the fluid reservoir body, wherein said removable plug is separately removable from the fluid reservoir body.
3. The fluid supply cartridge of claim 2 , wherein the fluid reservoir body further comprises a second vent hole in the removable plug.
4. The fluid supply cartridge of claim 3 , further comprising a removable tape attached to the removable plug for covering the second vent hole in the removable plug and the first vent in the cover.
5. The fluid supply cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the fluid reservoir body further comprises at least one foam insert therein for fluid back-pressure control.
6. The fluid supply cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the fluid reservoir body further comprises a first foam insert having a first density and a second foam insert having a second density greater than the first density.
7. The fluid supply cartridge of claim 1 , wherein the ejection head structure further comprises a fluid filter attached to a filter tower structure for filtering fluid flowing from the fluid reservoir body to the ejection head.
8. A vaporizing device comprising a mouthpiece, a vapor ejection assembly attached to the mouthpiece and the fluid supply cartridge of claim 1 attached to the vapor ejection assembly.
9. A cartridge kit for a vaporizing device comprising an ejection head structure and a plurality of fluid reservoir bodies for removable attachment to the ejection head structure, wherein the ejection head structure comprises an ejection head and a flexible circuit attached to the ejection head structure for electrical communication with the ejection head, and wherein each of the fluid reservoir bodies comprises a vaporizing fluid therein, a fluid supply port in fluid flow communication with the vaporizing fluid, a first vent hole in a cover for each of the fluid reservoir bodies on a proximal end of the fluid reservoir bodies, and a fluid port seal adjacent to the fluid supply port, which fluid port seal and fluid supply port are on a distal end of the fluid reservoir bodies.
10. The cartridge kit of claim 9 , wherein each of the fluid reservoir bodies further comprises a removable plug disposed in the fluid supply port thereof for shipping and storing the fluid reservoir bodies, wherein said removable plug is separately removable from the fluid reservoir bodies.
11. The cartridge kit of claim 10 , wherein each of the fluid reservoir bodies further comprises a second vent hole in the removable plug.
12. The cartridge kit of claim 11 , further comprising a removable tape attached to the removable plug for covering the second vent hole in the removable plug and the first vent in the cover.
13. A vaporizing device comprising a housing body, a mouthpiece attached to the housing body, a heater assembly disposed in the mouthpiece for vaporizing fluid ejected from an ejection head, and a fluid supply cartridge kit for the vapor generating device, the fluid supply cartridge kit comprising an ejection head structure and at least one fluid reservoir body for removable attachment to the ejection head structure, wherein the ejection head structure comprises the ejection head and a flexible circuit attached to the ejection head structure for electrical communication with the ejection head, and wherein the at least one fluid reservoir body comprises a vaporizing fluid therein, a fluid supply port in fluid flow communication with the vaporizing fluid, a first vent hole in a cover for the fluid reservoir body on a proximal end of the fluid reservoir body, and a fluid port seal adjacent to the fluid supply port, which fluid support seal and fluid supply port are on a distal end of the fluid reservoir body.
14. The vaporizing device of claim 13 , wherein the fluid reservoir body further comprises a removable plug disposed in the fluid supply port thereof for shipping and storing the fluid reservoir body, wherein said removable plug is separately removable from the fluid reservoir body.
15. The vaporizing device of claim 14 , wherein the fluid reservoir body further comprises a second vent hole in the removable plug.
16. The vaporizing device of claim 15 , further comprising a removable tape attached to the removable plug for covering the second vent hole in the removable plug and the first vent in the cover.
17. The vaporizing device of claim 13 , wherein the fluid supply cartridge kit comprises two or more fluid reservoir bodies.
