Vaporized oil laden air exits thecartridge assembly 110 through a cartridge tray assembly air outlet 13 (or 419FIG. 4 ), flows into theexit air path 14 of themain body assembly 105 and out though the removable mouthpiece 15 (or 120FIG. 1 ). -
FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary architecture for avaporizer 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Thevaporizer 100 includes themain body assembly 105 that includes the following: apower source 1005 that is coupled to apower push button 125, which can switch on or off the vaporizer. Responsive to thepower push button 125 being switch on, the power source 1105 powers a chip assembly of amain body assembly 105 of thevaporizer 100, which controls aheating element 315. Atemperature adjuster 130 can instruct the chip assembly to increase or decrease the temperature of theheating element 315. - This description has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms disclosed.
- Obvious modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiments discussed, however, were chosen to illustrate the principles of the disclosure, and its practical application. The disclosure is thus intended to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to use the disclosure, in various embodiments and with various modifications, as are suited to the particular use contemplated. All such modifications and variation are within the scope of this disclosure, as determined by the appended claims when interpreted in accordance with the breadth to which they are fairly and legally entitled.
