Vaporization device systems and methods
First Claim
1. A cartridge for use with a vaporizer body, the cartridge having a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end, the cartridge comprising:
- a mouthpiece proximate to the top end;
a transparent storage compartment configured to store a liquid vaporizable material; and
a heater assembly configured to attach to the transparent storage compartment at the bottom end, the heater assembly comprising;
a heater chamber formed at least in part from two metal walls;
a pair of electrical contacts, each contact of the pair of electrical contacts comprising an electrically conductive surface disposed at the bottom end, the pair of electrical contacts configured to complete an electrical circuit with the vaporizer body when the cartridge is inserted into the vaporizer body;
a wick, at least a portion of the wick disposed between the two metal walls; and
a resistive heating element coupled to each contact of the pair of electrical contacts, the resistive heating element in contact with the portion of the wick disposed between the two metal walls, the resistive heating element configured to heat the liquid vaporizable material to generate an aerosol, the two metal walls configured to provide a heat shield between the resistive heating element and the transparent storage compartment.

Abstract
Cartridges for use with a vaporizer body are provided. In some implementations, a cartridge having a top end and a bottom end comprises a mouthpiece proximate to the top end, a transparent storage compartment configured to store vaporizable material, and a heater assembly attached to the transparent storage compartment at the bottom end. The heater assembly comprises a heating element, a pair of electrical contacts, a wick, and a heater chamber formed at least in part from two metal walls configured to provide a heat shield between the heating element and the storage compartment, coupled to the pair of electrical contacts. The pair of electrical contacts are disposed at the bottom end and are configured to complete an electrical circuit with the vaporizer body when the cartridge is inserted into the vaporizer body.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a cartridge having a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end, the cartridge comprising; a mouthpiece proximate to the top end of the cartridge; a transparent storage compartment configured to store a liquid vaporizable material; and a heater assembly configured to attach to the transparent storage compartment at the bottom end of the cartridge, the heater assembly comprising; a heater chamber formed at least in part from two metal walls, a first pair of electrical contacts disposed at the bottom end, a wick, at least a portion of the wick disposed between the two metal walls, a heating element electrically coupled to the first pair of electrical contacts and in contact with the portion of the wick disposed between the two metal walls, the two metal walls configured to provide a heat shield between the resistive heating element and the transparent storage compartment; and a body comprising; a cartridge receptacle for receiving the bottom end of the cartridge, and a second pair of electrical contacts configured to complete an electrical circuit with the first pair of electrical contacts when the cartridge is received within the body. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
