Abstract

A method for controlling a vaporizer device may include determining a first temperature, vaporizing an inhalable substance at the first temperature, raising the first temperature by a temperature quantity, wherein a second temperature is a sum of the temperature quantity and the first temperature; and vaporizing the inhalable substance at the second temperature, wherein the temperature quantity is less than 3° C.

Claims (35)

1. A vaporizer device comprising:

airflow tubing configured to deliver a gaseous substance to a user;

a mouthpiece configured to swing between a first position and a second position;

a tube extending through the mouthpiece; and

a gasket coupled between the mouthpiece and the airflow tubing,

wherein the mouthpiece prevents the gaseous substance from escaping the airflow tubing in the first position and the mouthpiece allows the gaseous substance to escape the airflow tubing in the second position, and

wherein the mouthpiece engages the gasket in the first position to prevent the gaseous substance from escaping the airflow tubing and allows the gaseous substance to escape the airflow tubing in the second position when the tube aligns with the airflow tubing.

2. The vaporizer device of claim 1 , further comprising a housing.

3. The vaporizer device of claim 2 wherein the mouthpiece is coupled to the housing.

4. The vaporizer device of claim 3 wherein the mouthpiece is coupled to the housing through tabs that fit within indents in the housing.

5. The vaporizer device of claim 3 wherein the mouthpiece is coupled to the housing via a hinge.

6. The vaporizer device of claim 1 wherein the mouthpiece comprises stainless steel, plastic, rubber, ceramic, or glass.

7. The vaporizer device of claim 1 wherein the mouthpiece includes a hole, and wherein the gasket protrudes through the hole when the mouthpiece is in the second position.

8. The vaporizer device of claim 7 wherein the tube engages the gasket to allow the gaseous substance to flow through the airflow tubing, the gasket, and the tube to deliver the gaseous substance to the user.

9. The vaporizer device of claim 1 wherein the mouthpiece comprises a bulbous bottom portion.

10. The vaporizer device of claim 9 wherein the mouthpiece is tapered.

11. The vaporizer device of claim 2 wherein the mouthpiece engages the housing in the first position, and wherein the mouthpiece is positioned upward from the housing in the second position.

12. The vaporizer device of claim 11 wherein the mouthpiece fits within a slot of the housing when in the mouthpiece is in the first position.

13. A vaporizer device comprising:

a housing;

airflow tubing configured to deliver a gaseous substance to a user;

a mouthpiece configured to swing between a first position and a second position;

a tube extending through the mouthpiece; and

a gasket coupled to the airflow tubing and configured to engage the tube within the mouthpiece in the second position and engage a side of the mouthpiece in the first position, thereby blocking the gaseous substance from escaping the airflow tubing,

wherein the mouthpiece engages the gasket in the first position to prevent the gaseous substance from escaping the airflow tubing and allows the gaseous substance to escape the airflow tubing in the second position when the tube aligns with the airflow tubing.

14. The vaporizer device of claim 13 wherein the mouthpiece fits within a slot of the housing when in the mouthpiece is in the first position.

15. The vaporizer device of claim 14 wherein the tube engages the housing in the first position to prevent the gaseous substance from escaping the airflow tubing or the mouthpiece.

16. A vaporizer device comprising:

a gasket;

airflow tubing coupled to the gasket and configured to deliver a gaseous substance to a user;

a mouthpiece having a tube that extends through the mouthpiece, wherein the mouthpiece is configured to swing between a first position and a second position; and

wherein the mouthpiece prevents the gaseous substance from escaping the airflow tubing in the first position by the gasket engaging a side of the mouthpiece, and

wherein the mouthpiece allows the gaseous substance to escape the airflow tubing in the second position by the gasket creating a seal with the tube and when the tube aligns with the airflow tubing.

17. The vaporizer device of claim 16 wherein the mouthpiece comprises a mouthpiece base coupled to the housing and a mouthpiece portion coupled to the mouthpiece base.

18. The vaporizer device of claim 17 wherein the mouthpiece base comprises a bulbous bottom and the mouthpiece portion is tapered to form-fit into the mouthpiece base.
