US Patent 11129410 Variable-viscosity carrier vaporizers with enhanced thermal and hydrodynamic properties

In some embodiments, a system includes a cartridge assembly and a pen assembly. The cartridge assembly includes a mouthpiece assembly and a bracket cartridge assembly. The mouthpiece assembly includes a mouthpiece component defining a mouthpiece opening and an outer housing defining a vapor outlet and including a recessed sidewall portion. The pen assembly includes a pen housing and a bracket assembly configured to engage with the bracket cartridge assembly of the cartridge assembly such that a temperature of a coil of a wick assembly of the cartridge assembly may be increased such that a carrier material disposed near the coil may be vaporized by the coil. When the cartridge assembly is engaged with the pen housing, the recessed sidewall portion of the outer housing and an inner surface of the pen housing form a fluid path from the vapor outlet to the mouthpiece opening.
