Abstract
Cartridges for vaporizer devices are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a cartridge can include a reservoir housing that includes a reservoir chamber configured to selectively hold a vaporizable material, and an atomizer in fluid communication with the reservoir chamber. The atomizer includes a substrate having an array of ordered pores configured to draw a predetermined volume of vaporizable material from the reservoir chamber at a predetermined rate, and at least one heating material configured to selectively heat the at least a portion of the vaporizable material drawn into the substrate to generate a vaporized material. Vaporizer devices are also provided.
Claims21
A cartridge for a vaporizer device, the cartridge comprising:
- a reservoir housing including a reservoir chamber configured to selectively hold a vaporizable material;
- and
- an atomizer in fluid communication with the reservoir chamber, the atomizer comprising:
- a substrate having an array of ordered pores, the ordered pores being configured to draw a predetermined volume of vaporizable material from the reservoir chamber at a predetermined rate, and
- at least one heating material configured to selectively heat the at least a portion of the vaporizable material drawn into the substrate to generate a vaporized material.
A vaporizer device, comprising:
- a vaporizer body;
- and
- a cartridge that is selectively coupled to and removable from the vaporizer body, the cartridge including:
- a reservoir housing including a reservoir chamber configured to selectively hold a vaporizable material;
- and
- an atomizer in fluid communication with the reservoir chamber, the atomizer comprising:
- a substrate having an array of ordered pores, the ordered pores being configured to draw a predetermined volume of vaporizable material from the reservoir chamber at a predetermined rate, and
- at least one heating material configured to selectively heat the at least a portion of the vaporizable material drawn into the substrate to generate a vaporized material.
