1. A vaporizer comprising:

  • a battery portion including an outer shell having an outer shell diameter, a plurality of holes thereby permitting airflow to be established through at least a section of the battery portion, and internal components housed within the outer shell, the internal components includinga battery,a printed circuit board, including a microcontroller for operating a program to control the vaporizer,a pressure switch operable to detect a pressure differential generated when the airflow is established,at least one illuminable indicator which illuminates in association with charge remaining of the battery,wherein the at least one illuminable indicator comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes,wherein the PCB operates to illuminate a predetermined number of light emitting diodes after determining the battery voltage,wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes includes five light emitting diodes, andwherein all five diodes illuminate if the battery has at least first predetermined level of volts, four diodes illuminate if the battery has at least a second predetermined level of volts, three diodes illuminate if the battery has at least a third predetermined level of volts, two diodes illuminate if a the battery has at least a fourth predetermined level of volts, one diode illuminates if the battery has at least a fifth predetermined level of volts, and no diode illuminates if the battery has less than the fifth predetermined level of volts, andelectronic circuitry housed within the outer shell, the electronic circuitry electrically connecting the battery, the printed circuit board, the pressure switch, and the at least one illuminable indicator; and

    a cartomizer including a cartomizer outer shell having a cartomizer outer shell diameter substantially similar to the outer shell diameter, the cartomizer connectable with the battery portion, the cartomizer including internal cartomizer components housed within the outer cartomizer shell, the internal cartomizer components includinga heating element electrically connected with the electronic circuitry of the battery portion when the cartomizer and the battery portion are connected, the heating element operable to heat to a vaporization temperature when a current is passed along the heating element,a storage component for holding a vaporizable fluid, anda tube in fluid communication between the airflow of the battery portion and a mouthpiece provided on the cartomizer outer shell.
