Abstract

Vaporizer cartridges for vaporizer devices are disclosed herein. In one exemplary implementation, the cartridge can include a vaporization channel configured to allow fluid to pass therethrough from the atomizer to the outlet. The vaporization channel includes a plurality of channels, in which at least one channel is a grooved channel defining a fluid passageway extending from a first end to a second end, and the grooved channel having a plurality of grooves extending in a direction along the fluid passageway. Vaporizer devices are also disclosed herein.

Claims (28)

What is claimed is:
1. A cartridge for a vaporizer device, the cartridge comprising: a cartridge housing including a reservoir configured to selectively contain vaporizable material; and a vaporization channel extending at least partially through the cartridge housing, the vaporization channel configured to allow fluid to pass therethrough from an atomizer to an outlet of the cartridge, the vaporization channel comprising, a plurality of first channels, wherein each first channel creates a fluid passageway that extends from a first end to a second end of the first channel, the first end being proximate to the atomizer, and at least one second channel in fluid communication with and downstream of the plurality of first channels, the at least one second channel being proximate to the outlet; wherein at least one first channel of the plurality of first channels is a grooved channel with grooves extending in a direction along the fluid passageway of the grooved channel such that the fluid passageway of at least one of the grooved channel and another first channel remains open to allow vaporized material to pass therethrough and into the at least one second channel.
2. The cartridge of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first channels of the plurality of first channels has a cross-section that tapers towards the outlet of the cartridge.
3. The cartridge of claim 1 or 2, wherein the vaporization channel comprises a first segment and a second segment that is downstream of the first segment, and wherein the first segment includes the plurality of first channels, the first segment having a crosssection that tapers towards the outlet of the cartridge.
4. The cartridge of claim 3, wherein the second segment includes the at least one second channel.
5. The cartridge of any preceding claim, wherein at least one groove of the plurality of grooves has a triangular-shaped configuration.
6. The cartridge of any preceding claim, wherein the vaporization channel comprises a baffle positioned between the plurality of first channels, the baffle configured to promote mixing of air and vaporized material within the vaporization channel.
7. The cartridge of any preceding claim, wherein the reservoir comprises a storage chamber configured to selectively contain the vaporizable material and a collector in fluid communication with the storage chamber, wherein the plurality of first channels are positioned within the collector.
8. The cartridge of claim 7, wherein a portion of the second segment of the vaporization channel is located within the collector.
9. The cartridge of claim 7 or 8, further comprising the atomizer, wherein the atomizer includes an atomizer housing having a wicking element disposed therein and in fluid communication with the plurality of first channels.
10. The cartridge of claim 9, wherein the collector comprises at least one recess defined therein, the at least one recess creates a gap between the collector and the atomizer housing that prevents vaporizable material from being drawn between a bottom outer-most surface of the collector and a top outer-most surface of the atomizer housing.
11. The cartridge of claim 10, wherein the atomizer comprises a heating element with a heating portion disposed within the atomizer housing, and a connecting portion disposed at least partially outside the atomizer housing, wherein the gap is located between the connecting portion of the heating element and the collector.
12. The cartridge of claim 10 or 11, wherein the collector further comprises at least one tab extending outwards from the bottom-most surface of the collector, the at least one tab configured to be inserted into a respective cut-out of the atomizer housing such that a portion of the connecting portion is positioned between the at least one tab and the atomizer housing.
13. The cartridge of claim 12, wherein the at least one recess of the collector is positioned adjacent and proximate to the at least one tab.
14. The cartridge of claim 13 or 14, wherein the at least one tab has a trapezoidal shape.
15. The cartridge of any of claims 1-10, further comprising a wicking element disposed within the cartridge housing, wherein the grooves are in fluid communication with the wicking element.
16. The cartridge of any preceding claim, wherein another at least one first channel of the plurality of first channels is another grooved channel with grooves extending in a direction along the fluid passageway of the another grooved channel.
17. The cartridge of any of preceding claim, wherein the plurality of first channels are positioned laterally offset from each other relative to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge housing.
18. A cartridge for a vaporizer device, the cartridge comprising: a vaporization channel extending from an atomizer toward an outlet of the cartridge, the vaporization channel configured to allow fluid to pass therethrough from the atomizer to the outlet, the vaporization channel comprising, a plurality of channels, wherein at least one channel of the plurality of channels is a grooved channel defining a fluid passageway extending from a first end to a second end, the first end being proximate to the atomizer, the grooved channel having a plurality of grooves extending in a direction along the fluid passageway.
19. The cartridge of claim 18, wherein at least one channel of the plurality of channels has a cross-section that tapers towards the outlet of the cartridge.
20. The cartridge of claim 18 or 19, wherein the vaporization channel comprises a first segment and a second segment that is downstream of the first segment, and wherein the first segment includes the plurality of channels, the first segment having a crosssection that tapers towards the outlet of the cartridge.
21. The cartridge of claim 20, wherein the second segment includes at least one other channel, wherein the at least one other channel is in fluid communication with the plurality of channels.
22. The cartridge of any of claims 18-21, wherein at least one groove of the plurality of grooves has a triangular-shaped configuration.
23. The cartridge of any of claims 18-22, wherein the vaporization channel comprises a baffle positioned between the plurality of channels, the baffle configured to promote mixing of air and vaporized material within the vaporization channel.
24. The cartridge of any of claims 18-23, further comprising a wi eking element disposed within the cartridge, wherein the grooves are in fluid communication with the wicking element.
25. The cartridge of any of claims 18-24, wherein another at least one channel of the plurality of channels comprises another grooved channel with grooves extending in a direction along the fluid passageway of the another grooved channel.
26. The cartridge of any of claims 18-25, wherein the plurality of channels are positioned laterally offset from each other relative to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge.
27. A vaporizer device, comprising: a vaporizer body and a cartridge of any preceding claim, the cartridge being configured to be coupled to the vaporizer body.
28. The vaporizer device of claim 27, wherein the cartridge is removable from the vaporizer body.
