Definitions
- the present invention is directed toward a vaporization device, and in particular, to a heating element of a vaporization device separated from ambient air.
- vaporization devices have become quite popular. Often, to function, a vaporization device heats a consumable and/or inhalable product such as an oil, a concentrate, or a combustible plant substance to create a vapor for a user to inhale. Heating liquid or wax consumables has become particularly popular since liquids and waxes may be more concentrated and/or specialized as compared to plant substances and because a quantity of wax or liquid may last longer than a similar quantity of plant substance.
- the vapor products of the consumable mix with air flow and pass through a heating element.
- the vapor product may be burned when it contacts the heating element.
- the heating element may corrode from contact with the vapor product and/or air, and thus, reduce the useful life of the heating element.
- a heating element may be powered by a battery pack that juts out (e.g., extends) from a side of the vaporization device.
- This arrangement causes instability due to the weight of the battery pack shifting the center of gravity of the vaporization device laterally beyond the structure of the vaporization device. That is, attaching the battery pack to the vaporization device may cause the vaporization device to tilt or tip over, which may break glass or other fragile components of the vaporization device.
- a vaporization device having a coil separated from the vapor product and air flow is desirable.
- the present invention relates to a vaporization device that improves the life of a heating element of the vaporization device by preventing a flow of fluid from contacting the heating element. Moreover, the stability of the vaporization device is improved by coupling the battery pack in close proximity to the rest of the vaporization device.

- a device and method for vaporizing a consumable as presented herein includes a chimney, a battery pack that is connectable to a heating element, a cup for holding a consumable to be vaporized, and a carb for regulating the flow of air through the vaporization device. Air flows through the carb into the cup holding the consumable. The heating element heats the cup and the consumable. The consumable vaporizes dues to being heated. The vapor mixes with the air and flows around the cup, avoiding the heating element (e.g., a coil) while flowing down the chimney. That is, the heating element (e.g., a sealed coil) is separated from the flow of vapor product and air.
- the heating element e.g., a sealed coil
- the flow of vapor product and air bypasses the heating element (e.g., a coil).
- the power source is arranged in close proximity to a common axis of the chimney, cup, and carb, and thus, improves the stability of the vaporization device.
- the vaporization device 100 includes a carb 110 , cup 120 , a heating element 124 , a power source 130 with a transfer element 132 , and a chimney 140 .
- the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , transfer element 132 , and chimney 140 have a cylindrical shape and aligned along a common axis 150 . That is, the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , transfer element 132 , and chimney 140 are coaxially aligned.
- the chimney 140 includes an inlet 142 , outlet 144 , and a tapered section 146 disposed between the inlet 142 and outlet 144 .
- the tapered section 146 may have a frustoconical shape, and is configured to be inserted into a vaporization rig, (e.g., a pipe, a water pipe, a bong, a bubbler, etc.).
- the inlet 142 is configured to receive a support ring 136 and/or the transfer element 132 .
- the heating element 124 may be a disc-shaped member, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B , or a cup-shaped member, as shown in FIG. 1C-1F .
- the heating element 124 is configured to generate heat in response to receiving electricity, such as via resistive heating.
- the heating element 124 heats a bottom 121 of the cup 120 .
- the heating element 124 includes walls 127 that define a cavity or chamber 126 .
- the heating element 124 shown in FIGS. 1C-1F extends around a bottom 121 and sides 123 of the cup 120 and heats both the bottom 121 and the sides 123 .
- the cup-shape heating element 124 shown in FIG. 1C-1F may grip, or at least support, the sides 123 of the cup 120 and, thus, may prevent the cup 120 from breaking during use, assembly of the vaporization device 100 and/or disassembly of the vaporization device 100 .
- the heating element 124 may be or include a metal heating coil, a ceramic heating coil, and/or any other heating element that may be sealed from air and/or vapor products flowing through the device 100 .
- the heating element 124 may include a central protrusion or peg 125 , such as a threaded protrusion 125 , configured to engage the through-hole 133 of the transfer element 132 (see FIG. 1B ).
- the engagement between the through-hole 133 and central protrusion 125 may maintain alignment of the heating element 124 with the transfer element 132 .
- this feature is shown in connection with the embodiment of FIG. 1C , it may also be included on other embodiments, such as the embodiment shown in at least FIGS. 1A and 1B .
- the cup 120 may include a protrusion 125 that extends through heating element 124 (e.g., via a sealed passageway). Regardless, the protrusion 125 can connect the heating element 124 to the transfer element 132 so that space is provided between these two elements (as shown in FIG. 1D ) or so that these elements contact each other (as shown in FIG. 2 ).
- the cup 120 is configured to contact the heating element 124 and to hold a consumable to be heated by the heating element 124 .
- the consumable is placed inside a cavity of the cup 120 through an opening (e.g., via an open top).
- a bottom 121 of the cup may have a reduced radius configured to rest in and/or on the heating element 124 .
- the bottom 121 is a closed element so that when the cup 120 is installed in and/or on the heating element 124 , the bottom 121 may serve as a barrier that prevents a flow of air/vapor product from impinging the heating element 124 .
- the heating element 124 and/or the cup 120 may include features to align these two elements on a common axis.
- the walls of the heating element 124 shown in FIG. 1C may align a cup 120 within the heating element 124 .
- the central protrusion 125 may align the cup 120 and heating element 124 on a common axis with transfer element 132 .
- the cylindrically shaped carb 110 includes a top portion 112 having a carb hole 114 , or a through-hole, and internal cavity.
- the carb 110 is configured to surround the cup 120 and engage the support ring 136 . That is, the cup 120 is disposed on the heating element 124 inside the internal cavity of the carb 110 .
- the carb hole 114 is configured to receive a flow of air from ambient.
- the power source 130 is electrically coupled to the heating element 124 via the transfer element 132 , which is electrically coupled to the power source via a support ring 136 and struts 134 and/or via elements, e.g., wires, embedded or included thereon.
- the transfer element 132 is disposed offset from the power source 130 about half way between a top end 137 and bottom end 139 of the power source 130 . That is, the support ring 136 and transfer element 132 are disposed outside of the main body of the power source 130 , and aligned with the common axis 150 of the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , and chimney 140 , but the power source 130 is laterally offset from the common axis 150 .
- the support ring 136 is further configured to support the power source 130 when coupled to the chimney 140 . That is, the weight of the power source 130 is transferred through the support ring 136 to the chimney 140 .
- the support ring 136 and transfer element 132 may be disposed closer the top end 137 than the bottom end 139 or vice versa.
- the transfer element 132 is an induction coil.
- the transfer element 132 may include a conductive contact that electrically couples to conductive contacts of the heating element 124 .
- the transfer element 132 has a disc shape with a through-hole 133 , or aperture, disposed in the center.
- the transfer element 132 is connected to the support ring 136 via two struts 134 .
- the support ring 136 extends laterally from the power source 130 and surrounds the transfer element 132 .
- a radius of the support ring 136 is larger than a radius of the transfer element 132 .
- Two gaps 138 extend circumferentially between the transfer element 132 and the support ring 136 (and are separated by struts 134 ). When in use, a flow of air and/or vapor product passes through the two gaps 138 after bypassing the heating element 124 .
- the flow of air and/or vapor products does not flow through the heating element 124 (nor the transfer element 132 ), but rather, around it via the gaps 138 .
- the device 100 may have any number of gaps 138 between the transfer element 132 and support ring 136 .
- the transfer element 132 may be a metal element, but it may also include an insulated coating.
- the power source 130 is closely arranged on a lateral side of the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , and chimney 140 .
- a longitudinal axis 160 of the power source may be separated from the common axis by a small distance so that the power source 130 is flush against the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , and/or chimney 140 or only separated therefrom by a few millimeters.
- the power source 130 may be separated from the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , and/or chimney 140 by 0-15 millimeters.
- the longitudinal axis 160 of the power source 130 may be parallel with common axis 150 .
- the power source 130 includes a concave surface 135 that is configured to conform to the outer surfaces of the carb 110 and chimney 140 . That is, a top portion of the concave surface 135 conforms to the carb 110 , and the bottom portion of the concave surface 135 conforms to the chimney 140 .
- the close proximity of the longitudinal axis 160 of the power source 130 with the common axis 150 of the heating element 124 , carb 110 , cup 120 , and chimney 140 minimizes the amount of torque acting on the device 100 due to the weight of the power source 130 .
- the weight of the power source 130 may generate a torque at the interface between the support ring 136 and chimney 140 , which may cause the device 100 to topple.
- the center of gravity of the device 100 may be between the longitudinal axis 160 and common axis 150 .
- the power source 130 further includes a user interface 170 to control the heating element 124 .
- the user interface 170 may control a vaporization parameter.
- Vaporization parameters may include temperature, a heating time, and a heating frequency of the heating element 124 (e.g., turning the heater on for a period of time, then off for a period of time and repeating the heating cycle).
- the user interface 170 may be a toggle switch with preset positions corresponding to predetermined settings of vaporization parameters.
- the power source 130 may be a battery pack (e.g., lithium-ion battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, etc.) and/or an AC-DC transformer configured to plug into an electrical outlet.
- the carb 110 , cup 120 , heating element 124 , transfer element 132 , support ring 136 , and chimney 140 may be coupled to one another via a magnets, threading, and/or an interference fit.
- magnets may be disposed at the support ring 136 and inlet 142 of the chimney 140 .
- the magnets may be arranged to attract one another, and thus couple the support ring 136 to the chimney 140 .
- the support ring 136 may be held onto the chimney 140 via an interference fit between the support ring 136 and inlet 142 of the chimney 140 .
- Similar couplings may also be used to couple the carb 110 and/or cup 120 to the heating element 124 and/or to couple the heating element 124 to the transfer element 132 and/or the support ring 136 (e.g., in addition to or instead of threading). That is, magnets, threading, and/or an interference fit may be used to couple any two components of the device 100 together.
- FIG. 2 depicts a fluid path for a flow 200 of fluid, (e.g., air and/or vapor product) through the vaporization device 100 of FIGS. 1A and 1B .
- the vaporization device 100 is depicted with the carb 110 removed from the vaporization device 100 to show an internal view of the flow 200 of air and/or vapor product 210 through the vaporization device 100 .
- the carb 110 may be disposed on the support ring 136 surrounding the cup 120 .
- a consumable is placed in the internal cavity 122 of the cup 120 .
- the carb 110 , cup 120 , power source 130 , heating element 124 , and chimney 140 are joined to assemble the device 100 .
- the power source 130 activates the heating element 124 (e.g., in response to actuations of the user interface 170 ).
- the heat from the heating element 124 heats the cup 120 and/or the consumable, causing the consumable to vaporize into vapor product 210 .
- a fluid flow 200 e.g., air, is drawn into the carb hole 114 and mixes with the vapor product 210 in the cup 120 .
- the flow 200 travels through an annular channel between an outer surface of the cup 120 and an inner surface of carb 110 to the gaps 138 between the transfer element 132 and support ring 136 and thus bypasses the heating element 124 . That is, substantially no flow of air and/or vapor product 210 flows into, or through, the heating element 124 .
- the flow 200 continues from the gaps 138 to the inlet 142 of the chimney 140 , through the chimney 140 , and out the chimney outlet 144 . Because the flow 200 bypasses the heating element 124 , corrosion of the heating element 124 may be avoided, and thus, the life of the heating element may be extended.

- the base outlet 316 is configured to fluidly couple the mouthpiece 320 with the base cavity 312 . As shown in FIGS. 12A-12B , the base outlet 316 receives the mouthpiece inlet 322 and supports the mouthpiece 320 . That is, an inner surface of the base outlet 316 conforms to an outer surface of the mouthpiece inlet 322 . Consequently, the interface between the outer surface of the mouthpiece inlet 322 and the inner surface of the base outlet 316 may be substantially airtight.
- the cavity 312 is configured to be filled with a liquid (e.g., water) up to a desired fill level 318 .

Abstract
A device and method for vaporizing a consumable is presented herein and includes a chimney, a battery pack connected to a heating element, a cup for holding a consumable to be vaporized. The heating element heats the cup and/or the consumable. The consumable vaporizes dues to being heated (directly or via the cup). The vapor mixes with the air and flows around the cup, down the chimney, avoiding the heating element. That is, the heating element is separated from the flow of vapor product and air. Thus, the flow of vapor product and air bypasses the heating element. Further, the power source is arranged in close proximity to a common axis of the chimney, cup, and carb, and thus, improves the stability of the vaporization device.
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/061,351, entitled “Vaporization Device,” filed Aug. 5, 2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
- The present invention is directed toward a vaporization device, and in particular, to a heating element of a vaporization device separated from ambient air.
- In view of developments in technology and the law, vaporization devices have become quite popular. Often, to function, a vaporization device heats a consumable and/or inhalable product such as an oil, a concentrate, or a combustible plant substance to create a vapor for a user to inhale. Heating liquid or wax consumables has become particularly popular since liquids and waxes may be more concentrated and/or specialized as compared to plant substances and because a quantity of wax or liquid may last longer than a similar quantity of plant substance.
- In typical vaporization devices, the vapor products of the consumable mix with air flow and pass through a heating element. The vapor product may be burned when it contacts the heating element. Further, the heating element may corrode from contact with the vapor product and/or air, and thus, reduce the useful life of the heating element.
- Moreover, in at least some vaporization devices, a heating element may be powered by a battery pack that juts out (e.g., extends) from a side of the vaporization device. This arrangement causes instability due to the weight of the battery pack shifting the center of gravity of the vaporization device laterally beyond the structure of the vaporization device. That is, attaching the battery pack to the vaporization device may cause the vaporization device to tilt or tip over, which may break glass or other fragile components of the vaporization device.
- In view of at least the aforementioned issues, a vaporization device having a coil separated from the vapor product and air flow is desirable.
- The present invention relates to a vaporization device that improves the life of a heating element of the vaporization device by preventing a flow of fluid from contacting the heating element. Moreover, the stability of the vaporization device is improved by coupling the battery pack in close proximity to the rest of the vaporization device.

Embodiments of the invention will be described by way of example, with reference to the above-mentioned drawings showing elements and results according to the present invention.
- Generally, a device and method for vaporizing a consumable as presented herein includes a chimney, a battery pack that is connectable to a heating element, a cup for holding a consumable to be vaporized, and a carb for regulating the flow of air through the vaporization device. Air flows through the carb into the cup holding the consumable. The heating element heats the cup and the consumable. The consumable vaporizes dues to being heated. The vapor mixes with the air and flows around the cup, avoiding the heating element (e.g., a coil) while flowing down the chimney. That is, the heating element (e.g., a sealed coil) is separated from the flow of vapor product and air. Thus, the flow of vapor product and air bypasses the heating element (e.g., a coil). Further, the power source is arranged in close proximity to a common axis of the chimney, cup, and carb, and thus, improves the stability of the vaporization device.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1A and 1B , avaporization device 100 is shown. Thevaporization device 100 includes acarb 110,cup 120, aheating element 124, apower source 130 with atransfer element 132, and achimney 140. Thecarb 110,cup 120,heating element 124,transfer element 132, andchimney 140 have a cylindrical shape and aligned along acommon axis 150. That is, thecarb 110,cup 120,heating element 124,transfer element 132, andchimney 140 are coaxially aligned. - The
chimney 140 includes aninlet 142,outlet 144, and atapered section 146 disposed between theinlet 142 andoutlet 144. The taperedsection 146 may have a frustoconical shape, and is configured to be inserted into a vaporization rig, (e.g., a pipe, a water pipe, a bong, a bubbler, etc.). Theinlet 142 is configured to receive asupport ring 136 and/or thetransfer element 132. - The
heating element 124 may be a disc-shaped member, as shown inFIGS. 1A and 1B , or a cup-shaped member, as shown inFIG. 1C-1F . Generally, theheating element 124 is configured to generate heat in response to receiving electricity, such as via resistive heating. In the embodiment shown in at leastFIGS. 1A and 1B , theheating element 124 heats abottom 121 of thecup 120. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 1C-1F , theheating element 124 includeswalls 127 that define a cavity orchamber 126. Thus, theheating element 124 shown inFIGS. 1C-1F extends around a bottom 121 andsides 123 of thecup 120 and heats both the bottom 121 and thesides 123. This may provide distributed heating of a consumable in thecup 120 that enhances vaporization. Additionally, the cup-shape heating element 124 shown inFIG. 1C-1F may grip, or at least support, thesides 123 of thecup 120 and, thus, may prevent thecup 120 from breaking during use, assembly of thevaporization device 100 and/or disassembly of thevaporization device 100. In either case, theheating element 124 may be or include a metal heating coil, a ceramic heating coil, and/or any other heating element that may be sealed from air and/or vapor products flowing through thedevice 100. - As can be seen in
FIG. 1E , theheating element 124 may include a central protrusion or peg 125, such as a threadedprotrusion 125, configured to engage the through-hole 133 of the transfer element 132 (seeFIG. 1B ). The engagement between the through-hole 133 andcentral protrusion 125 may maintain alignment of theheating element 124 with thetransfer element 132. Although this feature is shown in connection with the embodiment ofFIG. 1C , it may also be included on other embodiments, such as the embodiment shown in at leastFIGS. 1A and 1B . Alternatively, in some embodiments, thecup 120 may include aprotrusion 125 that extends through heating element 124 (e.g., via a sealed passageway). Regardless, theprotrusion 125 can connect theheating element 124 to thetransfer element 132 so that space is provided between these two elements (as shown inFIG. 1D ) or so that these elements contact each other (as shown inFIG. 2 ). - The
cup 120 is configured to contact theheating element 124 and to hold a consumable to be heated by theheating element 124. The consumable is placed inside a cavity of thecup 120 through an opening (e.g., via an open top). A bottom 121 of the cup may have a reduced radius configured to rest in and/or on theheating element 124. The bottom 121 is a closed element so that when thecup 120 is installed in and/or on theheating element 124, the bottom 121 may serve as a barrier that prevents a flow of air/vapor product from impinging theheating element 124. In some embodiments, theheating element 124 and/or thecup 120 may include features to align these two elements on a common axis. For example, the walls of theheating element 124 shown inFIG. 1C may align acup 120 within theheating element 124. Additionally, thecentral protrusion 125 may align thecup 120 andheating element 124 on a common axis withtransfer element 132. - The cylindrically shaped
carb 110 includes atop portion 112 having acarb hole 114, or a through-hole, and internal cavity. Thecarb 110 is configured to surround thecup 120 and engage thesupport ring 136. That is, thecup 120 is disposed on theheating element 124 inside the internal cavity of thecarb 110. Thecarb hole 114 is configured to receive a flow of air from ambient. - The
power source 130 is electrically coupled to theheating element 124 via thetransfer element 132, which is electrically coupled to the power source via asupport ring 136 and struts 134 and/or via elements, e.g., wires, embedded or included thereon. Thetransfer element 132 is disposed offset from thepower source 130 about half way between atop end 137 andbottom end 139 of thepower source 130. That is, thesupport ring 136 andtransfer element 132 are disposed outside of the main body of thepower source 130, and aligned with thecommon axis 150 of thecarb 110,cup 120,heating element 124, andchimney 140, but thepower source 130 is laterally offset from thecommon axis 150. Thesupport ring 136 is further configured to support thepower source 130 when coupled to thechimney 140. That is, the weight of thepower source 130 is transferred through thesupport ring 136 to thechimney 140. In some implementations, thesupport ring 136 andtransfer element 132 may be disposed closer thetop end 137 than thebottom end 139 or vice versa. In some implementations thetransfer element 132 is an induction coil. Alternatively, thetransfer element 132 may include a conductive contact that electrically couples to conductive contacts of theheating element 124. - The
transfer element 132 has a disc shape with a through-hole 133, or aperture, disposed in the center. Thetransfer element 132 is connected to thesupport ring 136 via twostruts 134. Thesupport ring 136 extends laterally from thepower source 130 and surrounds thetransfer element 132. A radius of thesupport ring 136 is larger than a radius of thetransfer element 132. Twogaps 138 extend circumferentially between thetransfer element 132 and the support ring 136 (and are separated by struts 134). When in use, a flow of air and/or vapor product passes through the twogaps 138 after bypassing theheating element 124. That is, in use, the flow of air and/or vapor products does not flow through the heating element 124 (nor the transfer element 132), but rather, around it via thegaps 138. Although twogaps 138 are shown, thedevice 100 may have any number ofgaps 138 between thetransfer element 132 andsupport ring 136. In some implementations, thetransfer element 132 may be a metal element, but it may also include an insulated coating. - The
power source 130 is closely arranged on a lateral side of thecarb 110,cup 120,heating element 124, andchimney 140. For example, alongitudinal axis 160 of the power source may be separated from the common axis by a small distance so that thepower source 130 is flush against thecarb 110,cup 120,heating element 124, and/orchimney 140 or only separated therefrom by a few millimeters. For example, thepower source 130 may be separated from thecarb 110,cup 120,heating element 124, and/orchimney 140 by 0-15 millimeters. - Additionally, the
longitudinal axis 160 of thepower source 130 may be parallel withcommon axis 150. Thepower source 130 includes aconcave surface 135 that is configured to conform to the outer surfaces of thecarb 110 andchimney 140. That is, a top portion of theconcave surface 135 conforms to thecarb 110, and the bottom portion of theconcave surface 135 conforms to thechimney 140. The close proximity of thelongitudinal axis 160 of thepower source 130 with thecommon axis 150 of theheating element 124,carb 110,cup 120, andchimney 140, minimizes the amount of torque acting on thedevice 100 due to the weight of thepower source 130. That is, the weight of thepower source 130 may generate a torque at the interface between thesupport ring 136 andchimney 140, which may cause thedevice 100 to topple. In some implementations, the center of gravity of thedevice 100 may be between thelongitudinal axis 160 andcommon axis 150. - The
power source 130 further includes auser interface 170 to control theheating element 124. For example, theuser interface 170 may control a vaporization parameter. Vaporization parameters may include temperature, a heating time, and a heating frequency of the heating element 124 (e.g., turning the heater on for a period of time, then off for a period of time and repeating the heating cycle). In some implementations theuser interface 170 may be a toggle switch with preset positions corresponding to predetermined settings of vaporization parameters. In some implementations, thepower source 130 may be a battery pack (e.g., lithium-ion battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, etc.) and/or an AC-DC transformer configured to plug into an electrical outlet. - The
carb 110,cup 120,heating element 124,transfer element 132,support ring 136, andchimney 140 may be coupled to one another via a magnets, threading, and/or an interference fit. For example, magnets may be disposed at thesupport ring 136 andinlet 142 of thechimney 140. The magnets may be arranged to attract one another, and thus couple thesupport ring 136 to thechimney 140. Alternatively, or additionally, thesupport ring 136 may be held onto thechimney 140 via an interference fit between thesupport ring 136 andinlet 142 of thechimney 140. Similar couplings may also be used to couple thecarb 110 and/orcup 120 to theheating element 124 and/or to couple theheating element 124 to thetransfer element 132 and/or the support ring 136 (e.g., in addition to or instead of threading). That is, magnets, threading, and/or an interference fit may be used to couple any two components of thedevice 100 together. -
FIG. 2 depicts a fluid path for aflow 200 of fluid, (e.g., air and/or vapor product) through thevaporization device 100 ofFIGS. 1A and 1B . Thevaporization device 100 is depicted with thecarb 110 removed from thevaporization device 100 to show an internal view of theflow 200 of air and/orvapor product 210 through thevaporization device 100. However, during use, thecarb 110 may be disposed on thesupport ring 136 surrounding thecup 120. - During operation, a consumable is placed in the
internal cavity 122 of thecup 120. Thecarb 110,cup 120,power source 130,heating element 124, andchimney 140 are joined to assemble thedevice 100. Thepower source 130 activates the heating element 124 (e.g., in response to actuations of the user interface 170). The heat from theheating element 124 heats thecup 120 and/or the consumable, causing the consumable to vaporize intovapor product 210. Afluid flow 200, e.g., air, is drawn into thecarb hole 114 and mixes with thevapor product 210 in thecup 120. Theflow 200 travels through an annular channel between an outer surface of thecup 120 and an inner surface ofcarb 110 to thegaps 138 between thetransfer element 132 andsupport ring 136 and thus bypasses theheating element 124. That is, substantially no flow of air and/orvapor product 210 flows into, or through, theheating element 124. Theflow 200 continues from thegaps 138 to theinlet 142 of thechimney 140, through thechimney 140, and out thechimney outlet 144. Because theflow 200 bypasses theheating element 124, corrosion of theheating element 124 may be avoided, and thus, the life of the heating element may be extended. -
FIGS. 3-6 depict perspective views of thedevice 100.FIGS. 7-11B depict front, back, first side, second side, top, and bottom views of thedevice 100, respectively. - Now referring to
FIGS. 12A-12C , avaporization system 10 having avaporization device 100 received in avaporization rig 300 is illustrated. Thevaporization rig 300 includes abase 310 and amouthpiece 320. Themouthpiece 320 includes a cylindrical tube having aninlet 322 and anoutlet 324. Thebase 310 defines aninternal cavity 312, abase inlet 314, and abase outlet 316. The baseinternal cavity 312 is configured to receive a liquid. Thebase inlet 314 fluidly coupleschimney outlet 144 with thecavity 312. For example, thebase inlet 314 is configured to receive and support thevaporization device 100 with an interference fit. That is, thebase inlet 314 conforms to an outer surface thechimney 140, and a portion of an outer surface of thepower source 130. Consequently, the interface between the outer surface of thechimney 140 and the inner surface of thebase inlet 314 may be substantially airtight. - The
base outlet 316 is configured to fluidly couple themouthpiece 320 with thebase cavity 312. As shown inFIGS. 12A-12B , thebase outlet 316 receives themouthpiece inlet 322 and supports themouthpiece 320. That is, an inner surface of thebase outlet 316 conforms to an outer surface of themouthpiece inlet 322. Consequently, the interface between the outer surface of themouthpiece inlet 322 and the inner surface of thebase outlet 316 may be substantially airtight. - The
cavity 312 is configured to be filled with a liquid (e.g., water) up to a desiredfill level 318. At least a portion of thechimney 140 is configured to protrude though thebase inlet 314 such that the taperedsection 146 protrudes into thecavity 312 and thechimney outlet 144 is below thefill level 318. Themouthpiece inlet 322 is configured to remain above thefill level 318. - During operation, a consumable is placed in the
cup 120 and is vaporized intovapor product 210 in the manner described above with reference toFIG. 2 . A user places their mouth at themouthpiece outlet 324 and inhales. Consequently, a vacuum is created through thevaporization system 10. The vapor product is guided through thevaporization device 100 and drawn out of thechimney outlet 144, below thefill level 318, and bubbles through the liquid to thefill level 318. The vapor product continues up throughcavity 312 to thebase outlet 316 through themouthpiece inlet 322 and out themouthpiece outlet 324. Accordingly, a user can inhale the vapor products from thevaporization system 10. -
FIG. 12C illustrates thevaporization system 10 with thevaporization device 100 andmouthpiece 320 separated from thebase 310. Thecylindrical mouthpiece 320 may be replaced with abubbler 320′. Thebubbler 320′ includes aninlet 322′ and anoutlet 324′, theinlet 322′ being configured to engage thebase outlet 316. Thebubbler 320′ is configured to receive and contain a liquid between theinlet 322′ andoutlet 324′. A user can induce a flow of air/vapor products through theinlet 322′ through the liquid and to theoutlet 324′. Because thebubbler 320′ includes a liquid to cool vapor products, thecavity 312 may be empty. That is, thecavity 312 may not contain a liquid when thebase 310 is connected to thebubbler 320′ having liquid. Alternatively, thebubbler 320′ may be used without liquid and thecavity 312 contains the liquid. In some implementations, both thebubbler 320′ and theinterior cavity 312 contain a liquid for cooling the vapor products and/or to influence/interact with the vapor in different manners. - While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since it will be apparent that various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of the inventions and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims. In addition, various features from one of the embodiments may be incorporated into another of the embodiments. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the scope of the disclosure as set forth in the following claims.

vaporization device 100,carb 110,cup 120,power source 130,heating element 124,support ring 136, andchimney 140 described herein, or portions thereof may be fabricated from any suitable material or combination of materials, such as plastic, foamed plastic, wood, cardboard, pressed paper, metal, ceramics, supple natural or synthetic materials including, but not limited to, cotton, elastomers, polyester, plastic, rubber, derivatives thereof, and combinations thereof.
