Patent attributes
A vaporizer is configured to receive electric energy from an external power source, and apply that energy to atomize a vaporizing medium disposed within the vaporizer. The vaporizer may be sized and configured to fit within the downstem of a water pipe. A power source receiver is formed on a side of the vaporizer. The power source receiver comprises a first node, a second node electrically insulated relative to the first node, and a magnet. The external power source has an electrical connector that also has electric nodes and a magnet. When the power source connector is arranged adjacent the power source receiver, the opposing magnets attract one another, pulling the power source and vaporizer into properly-aligned contact so that the nodes are engaged. As such, the external power source can provide power to operate the vaporizer.
