Abstract
A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

A personal vaporizer unit comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a ceramic substrate positioned within the housing and comprising a reservoir configured to retain a substance to be vaporized and defining a liquid transport element to transport the substance through the ceramic substrate,
- wherein the reservoir defines a hollow portion extending at least partially through a central axis of the ceramic substrate and configured to retain the substance therein.
A ceramic substrate for an atomizer assembly of a personal vaporizer unit, the ceramic substrate comprising:
- a support member defining a central axis and being formed by:
- a reservoir configured to retain a substance to be vaporized, the reservoir defining a hollow portion extending at least partially through the central axis of the support member and configured to retain the substance therein, and
- a liquid transport element to transport the substance through the support member.
