VAPORIZER
First Claim
1. A vaporizer comprising:
- a cartomizer having a first cartomizer end and a second cartomizer end, the cartomizer includingan outer cartomizer shell,an internal cavity defined by a portion of the outer cartomizer shell,a heating chamber provided within the outer cartomizer shell and adjacent to the internal cavity,a heating element provided within the heating chamber,a fluid container conformingly dimensioned with the internal cavity, the fluid container insertable and removable from the internal cavity,a mouthpiece provided at or proximate to the second cartomizer end,an airflow channel in fluid communication with the heating chamber and the mouthpiece,cartomizer electrical contacts provided on the outer cartomizer shell proximate the first cartomizer end, andcartomizer electrical circuitry operable to direct an electric current between the cartomizer electrical contacts and the heating element; and
a battery segment includingan outer battery shell having a first battery end and a second battery end, the cartomizer connectable with the battery segment proximate the first cartomizer end and the first battery end,a battery housed within the outer battery shell,battery electrical contacts provided proximate the first battery end and positioned to contact the cartomizer electrical contacts when the cartomizer is connected to the battery segment, andbattery electrical circuitry housed within the battery segment and operable to direct an electrical current between the battery, the battery electrical contacts, the cartomizer electrical contacts, and the heating element.

Abstract
An electronic cigarette or vaporizer may include a cartomizer having an outer cartomizer shell defining an internal cavity and a heating chamber. The internal cavity may be dimensioned to receive a removable fluid container housing a vaporizable fluid. The heating chamber may be capable of receiving the vaporizable fluid from the fluid container. The cartomizer may also include a heating element and a mouthpiece. An airflow channel may be in fluid communication with the heating chamber and the mouthpiece. Cartomizer electrical contacts may be provided on the cartomizer. Cartomizer electrical circuitry may be provided to direct an electric current between the cartomizer electrical contacts and the heating element. The vaporizer may also include a battery segment removably connectable to the cartomizer.
