Abstract
A personal vaporizer has a hollow tube that extends from an atomizer through a tank for holding vaporization media. The hollow tube has a vapor tube portion and a filling path portion. A mouthpiece can be advanced over the hollow tube to a first position, at which the mouthpiece lumen communicates with the tank via the filling path portion. During manufacture, vaporization media can be injected into the mouthpiece lumen and will flow into the tank. After the tank is filled with vaporization media, the mouthpiece can be moved to a second position in which the tank is sealed relative to the mouthpiece lumen, but the vapor tube is unblocked so that the vapor tube communicates vapor to the mouthpiece lumen.

A personal vaporizer, comprising:
- a tank configured to contain a liquid vaporizing media;
- a mouthpiece proximal of the tank and having a mouthpiece opening at a proximal end;
- and
- an atomizer configured to atomize liquid vaporizing media from the tank and communicate atomized vaporizing media to a vapor tube, the vapor tube extending proximally from the atomizer through the tank;
- wherein the mouthpiece is configured to be movable relative to the tank so that when the mouthpiece is in a first position the mouthpiece opening is in communication with the tank, and when the mouthpiece is in a second position the mouthpiece opening is in communication with the vapor tube.

A personal vaporizer, comprising:
- a tank configured to contain a liquid vaporizing media;
- a mouthpiece proximal of the tank and having a mouthpiece opening at a proximal end;
- an atomizer configured to atomize liquid vaporizing media from the tank and communicate atomized vaporizing media to a vapor tube, the vapor tube extending proximally from the atomizer through the tank and communicating with the mouthpiece;
- an elongated intake air pin distal of the atomizer and having an elongated tubular wall defining a distal lumen terminating at an inner wall, a medial air aperture being formed through the tubular wall distal of but adjacent to the inner wall, and an air path from the medial air aperture to the atomizer;
- a base housing supporting the intake air pin;
- and
- a collector space defined between the intake air pin and the base housing, the collector space extending from a proximal end that is proximal of the inner wall to a distal wall spaced distally from the medial air aperture, the collector space being configured to trap liquid vaporizing media that may flow distally from the atomizer.
