Abstract

A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

Claims (17)

1 . A personal vaporizer comprising:

a vaporizer housing and coupled to or disposed within the vaporizer housing:

a cartridge comprising a hollow portion configured to hold a substance to be vaporized, wherein a portion of the cartridge is translucent;

a mouthpiece coupled to the cartridge;

an atomizer assembly comprising a housing configured to at least partially receive a heater and a wick in contact with the heater and the substance to be vaporized, wherein the housing of the atomizer assembly is at least partially received within an end of the cartridge;

a power source in electrical communication with the atomizer assembly; and

a passageway extending at least partially through the vaporizer housing and configured to provide for a flow of air through the vaporizer.

2 . The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the vaporizer housing further comprises an air inlet for outside air transfer in fluid communication with the passageway.

3 . The personal vaporizer of claim 2 , wherein the heater is disposed on a portion of the wick and is configured to generate heat for vaporization of the substance.

4 . The personal vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the atomizer assembly a housing configured to at least partially receive the heater and the wick is further configured to define an air gap for the vaporization and an air hole for air flow from the air gap.

5 . The personal vaporizer of claim 4 , wherein the atomizer housing surrounds the air gap and the vaporization generates the vapor in the air gap to be mixed with the outside air.

6 . The personal vaporizer of claim 5 , wherein a portion of the passageway is defined by the mouthpiece and is configured to receive the air flow after the vaporization.

7 . The personal vaporizer of claim 4 , wherein the air flow comprises a mixture of vapor from the vaporization with the outside air.

8 . The personal vaporizer of claim 4 , wherein the outside air flows into the atomizer assembly housing for mixing with vapor through the air hole.

9 . The personal vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the heater comprises a wire wrapped around the wick.

10 . The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , further comprising a visual indicator representing a state of the personal vaporizer.

11 . The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , further comprising a microprocessor for controlling operation of the personal vaporizer.
