The vaporizer apparatus includes a cartridge body and a child resistant device. The cartridge body includes an activation button and an inhalation portion. The inhalation portion is operable to allow a user to draw vapor from the cartridge body. The child resistant device includes an outer cap and an inner cap nestled within an inside chamber of the outer cap. The inner cap is coupled with the cartridge body to prevent access to the inhalation of the cartridge body. In a locked configuration, the outer cap and the inner cap are disengaged such that the outer cap is freely movable independent of the inner cap. In an unlocking configuration, the outer cap and the inner cap are engaged with one another such that movement of the outer cap detaches the child resistant device from the cartridge body. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A vaporizer apparatus comprising: a body having an inhalation portion, the inhalation portion operable to allow a user to draw vapor from the body; and a child resistant device including an outer cap and an inner cap nestled within an inside chamber of the outer cap, the inner cap being coupled with the body via a coupling portion of the body to prevent access to the inhalation portion of the body, the outer cap extending over the coupling portion of the body and partially extending over the body to prevent access to at least one component of the vaporizer apparatus; wherein in a locked configuration of the child resistant device, the outer cap and the inner cap are disengaged such that the outer cap is freely movable independent of the inner cap, wherein in an unlocking configuration of the child resistant device, the outer cap and the inner cap are engaged with one another such that movement of the outer cap detaches the child resistant device from the body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outer cap extends over at least a portion of the body such that the outer cap covers an activation button, preventing access to the activation button. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner cap and the body are coupled by threaded engagement. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inner cap includes one or more teeth projecting outwardly from a transverse surface of the inner cap, wherein the outer cap includes outer cap ridges which form one or more gaps operable to receive the one or more teeth of the inner cap. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 4, wherein in the unlocking configuration, the outer cap and the inner cap are engaged by the one or more teeth being received in the one or more gaps such that upon rotation of the outer cap, the outer cap ridges abut the one or more teeth of the inner cap to rotate the inner cap. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 1, wherein upon compression of the outer cap towards the inner cap, the child resistant device transitions from the locked configuration to the unlocking configuration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a cartridge cap coupled with the body, wherein the outer cap extends over at least a portion of the cartridge cap, preventing removal of the cartridge cap. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 7, further comprising an atomizer in fluid communication from the cartridge cap, the atomizer operable to atomize fluid in the cartridge cap into the vapor. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 8, wherein the atomizer is operable to be activated by the activation button. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 8, wherein the body forms a chamber in fluid communication with the inhalation portion, the vapor from the atomizer being stored in the chamber. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The vaporizer apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a battery, wherein the outer cap extending over the at least a portion of the body prevents access to the battery. ### Claim 12 A child resistant device comprising: an outer cap extending over a coupling portion of a body and partially extending over the body of a vaporizer apparatus to prevent access to at least one component of the vaporizer apparatus; and an inner cap nestled within an inside chamber of the outer cap, the inner cap being coupled with the body via the coupling portion of the body to prevent access to an inhalation portion of the body; wherein in a locked configuration, the outer cap and the inner cap are disengaged such that the outer cap is freely movable independent of the inner cap, wherein in an unlocking configuration, the outer cap and the inner cap are engaged with one another such that movement of the outer cap detaches the child resistant device from the apparatus. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The child resistant device of claim 12, wherein the outer cap extends over at least a portion of the body such that the outer cap covers an activation button, preventing access to the activation button. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The child resistant device of claim 12, wherein the inner cap and the body are coupled by threaded engagement. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The child resistant device of claim 12, wherein the inner cap includes one or more teeth projecting outwardly from a transverse surface of the inner cap, wherein the outer cap includes outer cap ridges which form one or more gaps operable to receive the one or more teeth of the inner cap. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The child resistant device of claim 15, wherein in the unlocking configuration, the outer cap and the inner cap are engaged by the one or more teeth being received in the one or more gaps such that upon rotation of the outer cap, the outer cap ridges abut the one or more teeth of the inner cap to rotate the inner cap. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The child resistant device of claim 12, wherein upon compression of the outer cap towards the inner cap, the child resistant device transitions from the locked configuration to the unlocking configuration.
