Oven assembly for personal electronic vaporizer

Abstract

The disclosure relates to an oven assembly configured for use with a personal electronic vaporizer. Some versions of the oven assembly may include features such as a base, an outer wall extending from the base, a first chamber defined by the outer wall and the base, an oven element disposed in the first chamber, a second chamber defined by the oven element, and at least one opening defined by the oven element. Some versions of oven assembly may be configured to pass heated air therethrough. Some versions of oven assembly may include features such as a heating element disposed in the chamber and configured to be electrically coupled with the vaporizer when the oven assembly is disposed in an oven receiving area of the vaporizer. The heating element may be configured to heat air within the chamber.

         10 . The oven assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the heating element is a first heating element and further comprising a second heating element, wherein the second heating element is disposed between the frit and the air plenum. 
     
     
         11 . The oven assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor, wherein the temperature sensor is disposed in one of the first chamber and the second chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The oven assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises polyetheretherketone. 
     
     
         13 . The oven assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the oven element includes a tooth. 
     
     
         14 . The oven assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the oven element includes an upper surface, wherein the upper surface is sloped toward the second chamber. 
     
     
         15 . The oven assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the oven element is removable from the first chamber. 
     
     
         16 . The oven assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the oven element includes a seal, wherein the seal defines a filter opening, and wherein a filter is disposed in the filter opening. 
     
     
         17 . An oven assembly sized to be received in an oven receiving area defined by a vaporizer, the oven assembly comprising:
 (a) a base;   (b) a chamber defined by the base;   (c) a heating element disposed in the chamber, wherein the heating element is configured to be electrically coupled with a vaporizer when the oven assembly is disposed in an oven receiving area of the vaporizer, wherein the heating element is configured to heat air within the chamber; and   (d) an oven element disposed in the chamber, wherein the oven element is configured to pass the heated air therethrough.   
     
     
         18 . The oven assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the chamber comprises a first chamber and further comprising a second chamber defined by the oven element. 
     
     
         19 . The oven assembly of  claim 18 , further comprising:
