Vaporizer device with removable cartridge and apparatus and method for filling removable cartridge

A vaporizer device comprising:

• a vaporizer body comprising:
• an elongated base extending from a first end to a second end, the elongated base including a pair of opposed sidewalls extending between the first end and the second end and a second end wall at the second end;
• a mouthpiece formed at the second end of the base, the mouthpiece comprising an inhalation aperture through the second end wall;
• an air intake manifold mounted to the base, the air intake manifold having a first manifold end and a second manifold end, the air intake manifold comprising an ambient air input port disposed between the first manifold end and the second manifold end, the ambient air input port being exposed to an external environment;
• a cartridge receptacle formed within the elongated base, wherein the cartridge receptacle is defined between the sidewalls, the second end wall and the second end of the air intake manifold;
• and
• a cartridge removably mountable in the cartridge receptacle, the cartridge comprising:
• a cartridge housing extending from a first cartridge end to a second cartridge end;
• an elongated storage compartment, the storage compartment being configured to store a vaporizable material, the storage compartment comprising an inner storage volume wherein the vaporizable material is storable in the inner storage volume, wherein the inner storage volume is enclosed by the cartridge housing;
• a heating assembly disposed at the first cartridge end, the heating assembly comprising a heating element and a wicking element, wherein the heating element thermally coupled to the wicking element, and wherein the wicking element is in fluid communication with the inner storage volume;
• and
• a fluid conduit extending through the cartridge housing, the fluid conduit having a fluid conduit inlet at the first cartridge end and a fluid conduit outlet at the second cartridge end, wherein the fluid conduit is in fluid communication with the wicking element;
• wherein when the cartridge is mounted within the cartridge receptacle, the fluid conduit inlet is fluidly connected to the air intake manifold and the fluid conduit outlet is fluidly connected to the mouthpiece, and a fluid flow passage is defined between the ambient air input port and the inhalation aperture, the fluid flow passage passing through the heating assembly whereby vaporized material is inhalable through the inhalation aperture.
