## Abstract

A disposable assembly and method for providing a liquid chemical for administration which is disposable. The disposable assembly including a tank having an airflow chamber and a liquid chamber, a vaporizer having a first end, a second end, and a movable ring. The first end of the vaporizer is operable to removably attach to the tank. The second end of the vaporizer is operable to removably attach to a battery. Attaching the battery to the second end of the vaporizer actuates the movable ring, and actuating the movable ring introduces air into the liquid chamber of the tank.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vaporizer for use with a disposable assembly, the vaporizer comprising:
a first end of the vaporizer operable to removably attach to a first end of a tank having a liquid chamber therein; and
a second end of the vaporizer comprising a movable ring; wherein
the movable ring is attached to a plurality of guide posts; wherein
the plurality of guide posts is attached to a protrusion extendable from the first end of the vaporizer; wherein
the protrusion includes a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough; and
wherein actuating the movable ring operates to push the protrusion into the liquid chamber of the tank to introduce air through the plurality of apertures into the liquid chamber of the tank.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vaporizer of claim 1, further comprising a groove at the first end of the vaporizer operable to receive a lip and groove of the tank.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The vaporizer of claim 1, wherein the movable ring is actuated by a user of the vaporizer.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vaporizer of claim 1, wherein the movable ring is actuated by a battery operable to removably attach to the vaporizer at the second end of the vaporizer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The vaporizer of claim 4, further comprising a central post with a threaded portion at the second end of the vaporizer, wherein the threaded portion receives the battery.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The vaporizer of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of guide posts is received by a lock washer which prevents backward movement of the guide post after the movable ring is actuated.

### Claim 7

A disposable assembly for liquid for smokeless administration comprising:
a tank comprising a liquid chamber; and
a vaporizer comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the second end comprises a movable ring; wherein
the first end of the vaporizer is operable to removably attach to the tank;
the second end of the vaporizer is operable to removably attach a battery; wherein
a protrusion having a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough and operable to introduce air into the liquid chamber of the tank is disposed at the first end of the vaporizer and attached to the movable ring; and wherein
actuating the movable ring pushes the protrusion into the liquid chamber of the tank.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The disposable assembly as in claim 7 wherein attaching the battery to the second end of the vaporizer actuates the movable ring.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The disposable assembly as in claim 7 wherein the movable ring can be actuated by a user and thereafter the second end of the vaporizer can be assembled with a battery.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The disposable assembly of claim 7, further comprising a central post with a threaded portion at the second end of the vaporizer, wherein the threaded portion receives the battery.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The disposable assembly of claim 10, wherein the movable ring is concentric to the central post of the second end of the vaporizer.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The disposable assembly of claim 7, wherein the movable ring is attached to the protrusion by a plurality of guide posts.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The disposable assembly of claim 12, wherein each of the plurality of guide posts is received by a lock washer which prevents backward movement of the guide post after the movable ring is actuated.

### Claim 14 (depends on 7)

The disposable assembly of claim 7, further comprising a scale on the tank operable to help a user determine an amount of liquid in the liquid chamber.

### Claim 15 (depends on 7)

The disposable assembly of claim 7, wherein the liquid chamber is composed of glass.
