The present invention provides an apparatus for the vaporization of materials that releases active constituents for inhalation without the creation of harmful byproducts such as carcinogens associated with combustion and inhalation of substances. The apparatus is designed to fit ergonomically within the user's hand. The apparatus uses the user's inhalation process for air flow.

A vaporization system for an inhalable substance includes a sealed cartridge. The sealed cartridge contains the chemical solution to be vaporized, a heating element which vaporizes the solution, and a wicking material for retaining the solution and bringing it into contact with the heating element through capillary action. The sealed cartridge may be disposable, having inexpensive elements so the cartridge can be replaced with little cost. Alternatively the sealed cartridge may be fully integrated with other components into a base unit, which may be disposable or may include a refill port which allows a user to refill the sealed cartridge with solution once the contained solution has been fully vaporized. A power source connects to the heating element and is activated by a switch that may be a breath detector. A disposable mouthpiece may be connected to the cartridge. The mouthpiece has an airway through which the vaporized solution is inhaled. The airway is restricted by a trap that prevents unvaporized droplets of the solution from passing through the airway into a user's mouth.

A vaporizer system that supplies clean, heated air to vaporizable material by directing ambient air from an area surrounding the vaporizer system through a secure air passageway that leads the air through a pump, a heat source, and then onto the vaporizable material. The air passageway prevents the interaction of the air with possibly emissive components. The heated air drives out active ingredients from the vaporizable material, which may be subsequently captured in a removable container or inhaled directly. The vaporizer system includes an air chamber surrounding the receptacle for receiving the material to be vaporized which isolates the material from environmental disturbances. The removable container attaches to a valve, which attaches to the top of the vaporizer system. The valve is configured to be operable between three positions with the use of only one finger and a thumb of one hand.

The present invention provides an apparatus for the vaporization of materials that releases active constituents for inhalation without the creation of harmful byproducts such as carcinogens associated with combustion and inhalation of substances.
