Patent Images
1. A personal vaporizer comprising:
- an air channel structured to receive outside air;
a battery;
a removable cartridge that holds a substance to be vaporized;
a first wick contacting the substance in the removable cartridge through which the substance transfers to the first wick;
a second wick receiving the substance from the first wick;
a heating element powered by the battery and wrapped around the second wick that heats the substance for vaporization resulting in vapor, wherein the vapor mixes with the outside air;
a vaporizer housing for the heating element that contacts the second wick; and
a mouthpiece through which the vapor mix passes.

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.
