Abstract
A vaporizer device that utilizes suction to draw gas into the device and percolate the gas through a liquid contained within the device. The gas may be then directed through a chamber assembly equipped with a heat source, which vaporizes precursor composition held in a reservoir. The chamber assembly incorporates features to induce a rotational flow path, enhancing the mixing and aerosolization of the precursor compounds and selectively removing particles from an aerosol by modifying velocity and pressure of the flow. A heat exchanger system is included within the liquid container to ensure efficient thermal regulation of the aerosol before the aerosol may be inhaled. This abstract provides an introduction to the concepts disclosed herein and should not be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.

A vaporizer, comprising:
- a heat exchanger comprising a coil having a consistent inner diameter to encourage laminar flow, the coil defining a passageway having a first end configured to receive suction, a second end, and a wall submerged in a liquid contained by a vessel, the wall thereby being in thermal communication with the liquid and configured to normalize a temperature differential between a vapor flowing in the passageway and the liquid;
- a chamber to generate the vapor by entraining a precursor composition in a conditioned gas, the chamber comprising a first end configured to couple to the second end of the heat exchanger, a heat source to heat the precursor composition to a predetermined temperature, a reservoir to hold the precursor composition, and a second end;
- a vessel configured to contain fluids and the heat exchanger, the vessel having an aperture coupled to the second end of the chamber to deliver the conditioned gas to the chamber;
- an intake to deliver a gas to the vessel, the intake comprising a passageway having a first passageway end exterior to the vessel to receive the gas and a second passageway end positioned below a surface of the liquid contained by the vessel, wherein the second passageway end includes radially disposed ports configured to deliver the gas in a vicinity of a wall of the coil to displace the liquid near the wall and increase local turbulence to enhance heat transfer;
- and
- wherein the chamber further comprises radially distributed helical passageways and a conical reservoir bottom configured to impart a vortical laminar flow and an atomizer tube having constriction and expansion regions to selectively remove particles by velocity and pressure transitions.
