Vaporizer apparatus
First Claim
1. A cartridge for use with a vaporizer device, the cartridge having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the cartridge comprising:
- a mouthpiece proximate to the first end of the cartridge;
a wick assembly proximate to the second end of the cartridge, the wick assembly comprising a resistive heating element and a wicking material, the resistive heating element configured to generate an aerosol;
a wick housing comprising a base and a first pair of mating members extending from the base towards the second end of the cartridge, the first pair of mating members comprising a first U-shaped member and a second U-shaped member, the base having a hole;
a tank comprising;
at least one side wall between the first end of the cartridge and the second end of the cartridge;
an end wall proximate to the second end of the cartridge, the end wall comprising a vent; and
a second pair of mating members extending from the end wall of the tank towards the first end of the cartridge to mate with the first pair of mating members, the second pair of mating members comprising a third U-shaped member and a fourth U-shaped member, the first pair of mating members and the second pair of mating members holding the wick assembly within the tank, the tank and the wick housing defining a chamber and a reservoir, the reservoir configured to hold a liquid vaporizable material, a first portion of the wick assembly disposed within the chamber, and a second portion of the wick assembly disposed within the reservoir; and
a tube disposed within the reservoir, the tube connected with the hole of the wick housing, the tube configured to provide the aerosol from the chamber to the mouthpiece.

Abstract
Cartridges for use with a vaporizer device are provided. In some implementations, a cartridge having a first end and a second end comprises a mouthpiece, a wick assembly comprising a heating element and a wicking material, a wick housing comprising a base having a hole and a first pair of mating members comprising first and second U-shaped members, a tank, and a tube connected with the hole. The tank includes an end wall proximate to the second end (having a vent) and a second pair of mating members, extending from the end wall towards the first end of the cartridge, comprising third and fourth U-shaped members. The first and second pair of mating members hold the wick assembly within the tank and define a chamber comprising at least part of the wick assembly and a reservoir configured to hold vaporizable material.
