Abstract

An assembly facilitating the generation of vapor including a power source and a current adapter electrically connected to said power source and including a plurality of connectors. The current adapter includes a plurality of conductors disposed and structured to independently direct current flow from the power source to each of said plurality of connectors. Each of the connectors includes a conductive terminal electrically connected to the current adapter. Each of the plurality of connectors is structured for removable, electrically conductive connection, via corresponding ones of the terminals and conductors, to a different one of a plurality of vaporizable material cartridges.

Claims (31)

1. An assembly facilitating the generation of vapor comprising:

a power source,

an current adapter is electrically connected to said power source,

said current adapter including a plurality of connectors,

each of said plurality of connectors structured for operative attachment to a different one of a plurality of vaporizable material cartridges, and

said current adapter including a current distributor structured to direct current flow from said power source to each of said plurality of connectors.

2. The assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said current distributor includes a plurality of conductors each electrically interconnected between said power source and a different one of said plurality of connectors.

3. The assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said current adapter comprises at least one conductive attachment disposed in an electrical interconnection between said power source and each of said plurality of conductors.

4. The assembly as recited in claim 3 wherein said at least one conductive attachment is removably connected to said power source.

5. The assembly as recited in claim 3 wherein said conductors are disposed and structured to independently direct current flow from said at least one conductive attachment to each of said plurality of connectors.

6. The assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein said current adapter, via said conductive attachment, is removably connected to said power source.

7. The assembly as recited in claim 3 wherein said conductors are disposed and structured to independently direct current flow from said conductive attachment to each of said plurality of connectors; said plurality of connectors structured for removable attachment to the plurality of vaporizer double material canisters.

8. The assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said current adapter comprises a base, said plurality of connectors fixedly mounted on and extending outwardly from an outer face of said base, in laterally spaced relation to one another.

9. The assembly as recited in claim 8 wherein said current adapter comprises a single conductive attachment fixedly mounted to and extending outwardly from an inner face of said base, said single conductive attachment disposed in electrical interconnection between said power source and said plurality of connectors.

10. The assembly as recited in claim 9 wherein said single conductive attachment is removably connected to said power source.

11. The assembly as recited in claim 8 wherein each of said plurality of connectors comprises a female connecting configuration.

12. The assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein each of said plurality of connectors is at least partially magnetic.

13. The assembly as recited in claim 8 wherein each of said plurality of connectors comprises a substantially universal connecting configuration structured for removable attachment to a plurality of different type vaporizable material cartridges.

14. The assembly as recited in claim 8 wherein said plurality of connectors are collectively disposed and dimensioned for concurrent disposition of the plurality of the vaporizable material cartridges, attached thereto, in concurrent accessible relation to vapor issuing therefrom.

15. The assembly as recited in claim 14 further comprising an access adapter, including an access opening, said access adapter removably connected to said housing in at least partially enclosing relation to all of the vaporizable material cartridges connected to said plurality of connectors.

16. The assembly as recited in claim 15 wherein said access adapter includes a path of fluid flow disposed and structured to transfer vapor from all of the vaporizable material cartridges connected to said plurality of connectors, to said access opening.

17. The assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of connectors comprises a terminal, each of said terminals disposable in current transferring relation to a heating element within an attached one of the plurality of vaporizable material cartridges.

18. An assembly facilitating the generation of vapor comprising:

a current adapter electrically connected to a power source and including a plurality of connectors,

said current adapter including a plurality of conductors disposed and structured to independently direct current flow from the power source to each of said plurality of connectors,

each of said connectors including a conductive terminal electrically connected to said current adapter, and

each of said plurality of connectors structured for removable, electrically conductive connection, via a corresponding one of said terminals, to a different one of a plurality of vaporizable material cartridges.

19. The assembly as recited in claim 18 wherein said current adapter comprises a single conductive attachment removably connected to said power source.

20. The assembly as recited in claim 18 wherein said current adapter comprises a base, said plurality of connectors fixedly mounted on and extending outwardly from an outer face of said base, in laterally spaced relation to one another.

21. The assembly as recited in claim 20 wherein said current adapter comprises a single conductive attachment fixedly mounted on and extending outwardly from an inner face of said base, said single conductive attachment disposed in electrical interconnection between the power source and said plurality of connectors.

22. The assembly as recited in claim 18 wherein each of said plurality of connectors comprises a substantially universal connecting configuration structured for removable attachment to a plurality of different type vaporizable material cartridges.
