Vaporizer cartridge
A refillable cartridge for a vaporizer is disclosed. The refillable cartridge includes a body housing a reservoir for storing a vaporizing product. The refillable cartridge further includes a lower ceramic pad with a through hole providing access to the reservoir. The refillable cartridge further includes a lid slidably fastened to the upper end of the body. The refillable cartridge further includes an upper ceramic pad positioned at a lower end of the lid. The upper ceramic pad seals the through hole when the lid is slid to a first position and uncovers the through hole when the lid is slid to a second position.
1. A refillable cartridge for a vaporizer, comprising:
a body having a wall defining a cavity, the body housing a reservoir for storing vaporizable material;
a cap including a lower ceramic pad positioned proximate an upper end of the body, the lower ceramic pad having a through-hole providing an access to the reservoir;
a lid adjacent to the cap and slidably fastened to the upper end of the body, the lid configured to slide in a linear direction that is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge; and
an upper ceramic pad positioned at a lower end of the lid, the upper ceramic pad sealing the through-hole when the lid is located at a first position and uncovering the through hole when the lid is slid to a second position.
2. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the lid includes a mouthpiece having a passageway for providing an inhalable vapor to a vaporizer user from an atomizer within a vaporizer.
3. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 , further comprising an atomizer for converting the vaporizable material into a vapor for inhalation.
4. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the cartridge does not contain an atomizer within the body for converting the vaporizable material into a vapor for inhalation.
5. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein, when the lid is in the first position, the upper and lower ceramic pads are biased toward one another to thereby create a seal between the upper and lower ceramic pads.
6. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein, when the lid is slid to the second position the through-hole is exposed to thereby provide the access to the reservoir for filling or refilling the reservoir with the vaporizable material.
7. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the lower ceramic pad is disposed at an outer surface of the cap.
8. A method of refilling a refillable cartridge comprising:
providing a refillable cartridge according to claim 1 ;
sliding the lid in the linear direction to cause the lid to slide from the first position to the second position; and
providing through the through-hole the vaporizable material to the reservoir.
9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising sliding the lid from the second position back to the first position after providing the vaporizable material to the reservoir.
10. The refillable cartridge according to claim 1 further comprising a vaporizable material in the reservoir.
11. A kit comprising the refillable cartridge according to claim 1 and instructions for filling or refilling the reservoir.
12. The kit according to claim 11 , further comprising a nozzle for supplying vaporizable material to the reservoir.
13. The kit according to claim 11 , further comprising a vaporizable material.
14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the lower ceramic pad is disposed at an outer surface of the cap.
