Apparatuses including vaporizer device bodies and cartridges are provided. In some implementations, an apparatus includes a cartridge and a body. The cartridge comprises a storage compartment configured to hold a vaporizable material, a heater chamber including a heating element configured to heat the vaporizable material to generate an aerosol, and an outlet for the aerosol. The body comprises a receptacle configured to insertably receive and couple to the cartridge, and first and second electrical contacts configured to complete an electrical circuit with the heating element. The cartridge and the body are configured to define an airflow path comprising an air inlet passage having a first side formed by an exterior surface of the cartridge and a second side formed by an internal surface of the receptacle. The air inlet passage is configured to deliver air towards the heater chamber, which is in fluid communication with the outlet.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. An apparatus comprising:
a cartridge comprising:
a storage compartment configured to hold a vaporizable material;a heater chamber proximate to the storage compartment, the heater chamber comprising a heating element configured to heat the vaporizable material, the heating of the vaporizable material generating an aerosol; andan outlet for the aerosol; and
a body comprising:
a receptacle configured to insertably receive and couple to the cartridge; anda first electrical contact and a second electrical contact configured to complete an electrical circuit with the heating element when the cartridge is insertably received within the receptacle,
wherein the cartridge and the body are configured to define an airflow path comprising:
an air inlet passage having a first side formed by an exterior surface of the cartridge and a second side formed by an internal surface of the receptacle, the air inlet passage configured to deliver air towards the heater chamber, the heater chamber in fluid communication with the outlet.
Claim CLM-00002. 2. An apparatus comprising:
a cartridge comprising:
a storage compartment configured to hold a vaporizable material;a heater chamber proximate the storage compartment, the heater chamber comprising a heating element configured to heat the vaporizable material to generate an aerosol; andan air outlet in fluid communication with the heater chamber for outputting the aerosol; and
a body comprising:
a receptacle configured to receive and couple to the cartridge;a first electrical contact; anda second electrical contact, the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact being configured to complete an electrical circuit with the heating element when the cartridge is received and coupled within the receptacle,the cartridge and the body defining an air inlet passage, a first side of the air inlet passage being formed by an exterior surface of the cartridge and a second side of the air inlet passage being formed by an internal surface of the receptacle, the air inlet passage being configured to deliver air towards the heater chamber for mixing with the aerosol.
