Cartridge for use with a vaporizer device
First Claim
1. A cartridge for use with a vaporizer device, the cartridge comprising:
- an elongate and flattened storage compartment configured to hold a liquid vaporizable material, wherein the liquid vaporizable material is visible through the elongate and flattened storage compartment, wherein the elongate and flattened storage compartment comprises a distal end and a proximal end, and wherein the elongate and flattened storage compartment further comprises a first side extending between the distal end and the proximal end;
an opaque mouthpiece that is secured over the proximal end of the elongate and flattened storage compartment, the opaque mouthpiece having a front side adjacent to the first side of the elongate and flattened storage compartment, wherein a first end of the opaque mouthpiece terminates in an edge disposed adjacent to a location between the distal end and the proximal end of the elongate and flattened storage compartment;
an opening through the opaque mouthpiece at a second end of the opaque mouthpiece;
a notch in the front side of the opaque mouthpiece extending away from the edge of the opaque mouthpiece toward the second end of the opaque mouthpiece, wherein the notch exposes a region of the first side of the elongate and flattened storage compartment beneath the opaque mouthpiece;
a heater at the distal end of the elongate and flattened storage compartment, wherein the heater comprises;
a heating chamber, a wick at least partially within the heating chamber, and a resistive heating element in thermal contact with the wick; and
a cannula within the elongate and flattened storage compartment and extending through the liquid vaporizable material from the heater towards the proximal end of the elongate and flattened storage compartment such that the liquid vaporizable material surrounds the cannula when the elongate and flattened storage compartment is filled with the liquid vaporizable material, wherein the cannula is visible through the notch, and wherein the cannula forms a fluid connection between the heating chamber and the opening through which an aerosol formed from the liquid vaporizable material is inhalable.

Abstract
Vaporizer devices and apparatuses are provided. In some implementations, a cartridge for a vaporizer device comprises an elongate and flattened storage compartment configured to hold a liquid vaporizable material, an opaque mouthpiece that is secured over the proximal end of the storage compartment, an opening through the mouthpiece, a notch in the front side of the mouthpiece, a heater at the distal end of the storage compartment, and a channel within the storage compartment that extends from the heater towards the proximal end of the storage compartment. The liquid vaporizable material is visible through the storage compartment. A first end of the mouthpiece terminates in an edge disposed adjacent to a location between the distal end and the proximal end, the mouthpiece has a front side adjacent a side of the storage compartment, and the notch extends away from the edge toward an end of the mouthpiece.
