Ceramic vape assembly

Abstract

A cap assembly for use with an atomizer of a vaporizer device according to various aspects of the present technology may include a cap and a force-applying assembly. The cap may be detachably coupled to the vaporizer device or the atomizer, wherein the cap releasably engages a reservoir of the atomizer and seals a vaporizable consumable contained therein. The force-applying assembly may be configured to be inserted into the reservoir when the cap is coupled to the vaporizer device or the atomizer and apply a force to the vaporizable consumable to continuously move the consumable towards a heating element of the vaporizer device.

1 . A cap assembly for use with an atomizer of a vaporizable device, comprising:
 a cap coupled to the vaporizer device, wherein the cap sealably engages the vaporizer device to seal a vaporizable consumable contained inside a reservoir of the atomizer;   a force-applying assembly configured to be inserted into the reservoir when the cap is coupled to the vaporizer device and apply a force to the vaporizable consumable to continuously move the consumable towards a heating element of the vaporizer device.   
     
     
         2 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is detachably coupled to the vaporizer device, and wherein the cap releasably engages the vaporizer device. 
     
     
         3 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is not detachably coupled to the vaporizer device. 
     
     
         4 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the force-applying assembly comprises:
 a spring comprising a first end coupled to an inner surface of the cap and extending distally therefrom; and   a plate coupled to a second end of the spring opposite the first end, wherein:
 the plate is inserted into the reservoir when the cap is coupled to the vaporizer device; and 
 the plate is biased by the spring to continuously move the vaporizable consumable towards the heating element of the vaporizer device. 
   
     
     
         5 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is twisted into a locked or unlocked position by pressing the cap towards the vaporizer device and turning the cap into the respective locked or unlocked position. 
     
     
         6 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cap further comprises an inlet and an outlet for circulating air in the cap. 
     
     
         7 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the force-applying assembly comprises:
 an axially rotatable rod;   a blade coupled to a first end of the rod; and   a hook assembly coupled to a second end of the rod opposite the first end, wherein:
 the hook assembly is inserted into the reservoir when the cap is coupled to the vaporizer device; and 
 the hook assembly rotates in unison with the rod when air circulates through the cap to continually move the vaporizable consumable towards the heating element. 
   
     
     
         8 . The cap assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the force-applying assembly comprises a diaphragm configured to inflate when air is drawn into the cap via the inlet and deflate when air is expelled from the cap via the outlet. 
     
     
         9 . The cap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the force-applying assembly comprises a flexible lens configured to apply a force to the vaporizable consumable to continuously move the consumable towards the heating element. 
     
     
         10 . The cap assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the hook assembly comprises a first hook and a second hook. 
     
     
         11 . The cap assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the hook assembly further comprises a first bead coupled to an end of the first hook and a second bead coupled to an end of the second hook.
