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.

A personal vaporizing unit, comprising:
- a cylindrical housing that approximates a smoking article, the housing having an opaque wall with a non-opaque part cut through said opaque wall;
- a hollow translucent tube disposed inside said housing, a wall of the translucent tube to conduct light received by said translucent tube past at least a portion of said opaque wall where said light is not visible through said cylindrical housing to said non-opaque part whereby said light is visible from outside of said cylindrical housing via said non-opaque part;
- and
- a cartridge disposed in an end of said translucent tube, said cartridge having an end that diffuses said light.
