Abstract
A vaporizer cartridge is described that is configured for coupling to a vaporizer device body and containing a vaporizable material. Various embodiments of the vaporizer cartridge are described that include one or more features for maximizing a reservoir volume within the vaporizer cartridge for the containing of vaporizable material thereby increasing the output of vaporized vaporizable material from a compact cartridge configuration. Additionally, associated methods of manufacturing are described.
Claims20
A vaporizer cartridge for coupling to a vaporizer body to form a vaporizer, comprising:
- a housing defining at least a portion of a reservoir chamber for containing a vaporizable material, the housing comprising a housing wall, wherein at least a portion of the housing wall is translucent;
- and an air tube assembly comprising:
- a wick housing portion configured to position a wicking element and a heating element in a vaporization chamber for vaporizing the vaporizable material in the vaporization chamber;
- and
- an airflow pathway that extends through the vaporization chamber and an air outlet thereby allowing vaporized vaporizable material to be inhaled by a user.
A vaporizer cartridge for coupling to a vaporizer body to form a vaporizer, comprising:
- a first part comprising a first wall, wherein the first wall is formed of a first material;
- a second part comprising a second wall, wherein the second wall is formed of a second material, the second material being different from the first material, wherein the first wall and the second wall define at least a portion of a reservoir chamber for containing a vaporizable material;
- and
- an air tube assembly comprising:
- a wick housing portion configured to position a wicking element and a heating element in a vaporization chamber for vaporizing the vaporizable material in the vaporization chamber;
- and
- an airflow pathway that extends through the vaporization chamber and an air outlet thereby allowing vaporized vaporizable material to be inhaled by a user.
A vaporizer cartridge for coupling to a vaporizer body to form a vaporizer, comprising:
- a reservoir housing defining a reservoir chamber for containing a vaporizable material, the reservoir housing comprising a reservoir wall;
- a mouthpiece comprising a mouthpiece wall, the mouthpiece wall coupled to the reservoir wall of the reservoir housing such that an inner reservoir wall of the reservoir wall is co-planar with an inner mouthpiece wall of the mouthpiece wall;
- and
- an air tube assembly comprising:
- a wick housing portion configured to position a wicking element and a heating element in a vaporization chamber for vaporizing the vaporizable material in the vaporization chamber;
- and
- an airflow pathway that extends through the vaporization chamber and the mouthpiece thereby allowing vaporized vaporizable material to be inhaled by a user.
