Vaporizer assembly and cartridge
First Claim
1. A personal vaporizing unit having a proximal end configured to be placed in a human mouth, the personal vaporizing unit comprising:
- a housing holding a fluid to be vaporized into a vaporized mixture of air and vaporized fluid;
an atomizer that vaporizes the fluid with a heating element; and
a sleeve to hold the atomizer and the housing that conducts light entering a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the light exiting the distal end of the sleeve is visible external to the personal vaporizing unit, the sleeve having a distal end direction, at least one space between an exterior surface of said housing and an interior surface of said sleeve defining a passage for outside air without said vaporized mixture to be drawn from outside said personal vaporizing unit, said outside air without said vaporized mixture to be drawn from said distal end direction, along said passage, to said second end of said housing for delivery to said atomizer.

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.

6. An assembly for a personal vaporizing unit, the personal vaporizing unit having a proximal end configured to be placed in a human mouth, the assembly comprising:
-
a light pipe sleeve having a first end and a second end, the light pipe sleeve configured to be disposed within said personal vaporizing unit and diffuse light through the light pipe sleeve; an atomizer held by said light pipe sleeve, the atomizer having a heating element configured to vaporize a fluid; and a housing held by said light pipe sleeve, said housing holding the fluid to be vaporized into a mixture of air and vaporized fluid by said personal vaporizing unit, the light pipe sleeve holding the atomizer and the housing such that a proximal end of said atomizer is disposed closer to said proximal end of said personal vaporizing unit than a proximal end of said housing. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A personal vaporizing unit having a proximal end configured to be placed in a human mouth, the personal vaporizing unit comprising:
-
a light pipe sleeve that conducts light entering a proximal end of the light pipe sleeve to the distal end of the light pipe sleeve; and a cartridge held by the light pipe sleeve, wherein light exiting a distal end of the light pipe sleeve is diffused by the cartridge, the cartridge comprising; a housing, the housing having a first end and a second end, the housing configured to be disposed within said personal vaporizing unit, said housing configured to hold a fluid to be vaporized into a mixture of air and vaporized fluid by said personal vaporizing unit, said housing and said personal vaporizing unit forming, when said cartridge is disposed in said personal vaporizing unit, at least one space between an exterior surface of said housing and an interior surface of said personal vaporizing unit that defines a passage for outside air without said mixture to be drawn from outside said personal vaporizing unit from a distal end direction and along said passage to said second end. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
