Combinable and orientable vaporizing devices

Abstract

A vaporizing device includes a center post, a cartridge with a hollow interior to receive the center post and an oil, a sled connectable to the cartridge, and a mouthpiece connectable to a proximal end of the center post and a proximal end of the cartridge. The mouthpiece may include a body having a substantially planar face and a curved face opposite the substantially planar face, where the curved face tapers to meet the substantially planar face at a proximal end of the body, and the curved face together with the substantially planar face form a vapor outlet. A cut-away defined in a distal edge of the body of the mouthpiece may be complementary to an extension of an external housing of the vaporizing device. The mouthpiece also includes an internal vapor pathway defined within the body, the internal vapor pathway being offset from the center post.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A mouthpiece for use with a vaporizing device, the mouthpiece comprising:
 a body having a substantially planar face and a curved face opposite the substantially planar face, the curved face tapering to meet the substantially planar face at a proximal end of the body and forming a vapor outlet at the proximal end of the body;   a cut-away defined in a distal edge of the body of the mouthpiece, the cut-away for aligning the mouthpiece onto a vaping device body during capping; and   an internal vapor pathway defined within the body, the internal vapor pathway being offset from a central lumen of a center post, such that vapor produced from an oil to be vaporized travels proximally through the central lumen of the center post, offset through the internal vapor pathway of the mouthpiece, and out of the vapor outlet of the mouthpiece to be inhaled by a user,   wherein the substantially planar face and the distal end of the mouthpiece form a substantially 90-degree angle such that there is zero draft along the substantially planar face.   
     
     
         2 . The mouthpiece of  claim 1 , wherein the proximal end of the body of the mouthpiece is concave at the vapor outlet. 
     
     
         3 . A method of manufacturing a mouthpiece for a vaping device, the method comprising:
 selecting a core of a mold, the core comprising a front side and a back side, the back side having zero draft angle such that a back wall of the mouthpiece will be parallel to the direction of the mold opening and closing;   selecting a cavity of the mold, the cavity comprising a front side and a back side, the back side having zero draft angle such that the back wall of the mouthpiece will be parallel to the direction of the mold opening and closing;   inserting the core into the cavity, forming a space between the core and the cavity;   injecting a material into the space between the core and the cavity;   allowing the material to cool and solidify; and   ejecting the material from the mold.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the cavity has a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein the step of injecting the material into the space between the core and the cavity comprises injecting material at the proximal end. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the front side and the back side of the cavity are separable portions of the cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the front side of the cavity is removable vertically from the mold and the back side of the cavity is removably laterally from the mold. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising clamping the cavity and the core of the mold shut, allowing the injected material to fill the cavity. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the front side of the cavity is formed with a degree of draft. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the core of the mold defines one or more internal compartments of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the one or more internal compartments comprises an internal vapor pathway. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the cavity of the mold further comprises a convex portion at a proximal end of the cavity, the convex portion forming a concave portion at a corresponding proximal end of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the concave portion at the proximal end of the mouthpiece is substantially smooth, with no excess material. 
     
     
         13 . A method of manufacturing a mouthpiece for a vaping device, the method comprising: selecting a core, the core comprising a front side and a back side, the back side having zero draft angle such that a back wall of the mouthpiece will be parallel to the direction of a mold opening and closing;
 selecting a cavity, the cavity comprising a first portion with a front side and a second portion with a back side, the back side having zero draft angle such that the back wall of the mouthpiece will be parallel to the direction of the mold opening and closing;   inserting the core into the cavity, forming a space between the core and the cavity;   injecting a material into the space between the core and the cavity;   allowing the material to cool and solidify; and   removing the first portion of the cavity vertically from the core and removing the second portion of the cavity laterally from the core.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising clamping the cavity and the core of the mold shut, allowing the injected material to fill the cavity. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the front side of the first portion of the cavity is formed with a degree of draft. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the core of the mold defines one or more internal compartments of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the one or more internal compartments comprises an internal vapor pathway. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein injecting a material into the space between the core and the cavity comprises injecting the material into a proximal end of the cavity. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the cavity of the mold further comprises a convex portion at a proximal end of the cavity, the convex portion forming a concave portion at a corresponding proximal end of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the concave portion at the proximal end of the mouthpiece is substantially smooth, with no excess material.
