Dual-source vaporizer

Abstract

A dual-source vaporizer that allows a user to produce dry herb vapor, e-liquid vapor, or a combination vapor having both dry herb vapor and e-liquid vapor. The dual-source vaporizer has a dry herb vaporizer, an e-liquid vaporizer, and a combining tank. The dual-source vaporizer has a microprocessor that directs the power flow from a rechargeable battery, and a selection slider that allows the user to select which vapor the dual-source vaporizer should produce. The dry herb vaporizer can be accessed through a removable plug located on the bottom of the dual-source vaporizer's main body, allowing for greater access and ease of cleaning.

         8 . The dual-source vaporizer as recited in  claim 1 , the combination tank further comprising an upper half, comprising an e-liquid stem receiver and a dry herb stem receiver, and a lower half;
 wherein the upper half and lower half are configured to fit together, the dry herb stem slides into the dry herb stem receiver and the e-liquid stem slides into the e-liquid stem receiver.   
     
     
         9 . A dual-source vaporizer, comprising:
 a dry herb vaporizer, configured to upon activation produce a dry herb vapor which passes into a mouthpiece;   an e-liquid vaporizer, configured to upon activation produce an e-liquid vapor which passes into the mouthpiece;   a combining tank comprising the mouthpiece, a combination chamber, and an e-liquid stem; and   a selection slider configured to be set among a dry herb mode, an e-liquid mode, and a combination mode;   a circuit configured such that:   when the selection slider is set to the dry herb mode, the dry herb vaporizer is activated and the e-liquid vaporizer is inactive;   when the selection slider is set to the e-liquid mode, the e-liquid vaporizer is activated and the dry herb vaporizer is inactive; and   when the selection slider is set to the combination mode, both the dry herb vaporizer and the e-liquid vaporizer are activated.   
     
     
         10 . The dual-source vaporizer as recited in  claim 9 , wherein:
 the combination tank further comprises an outer wall;   the e-liquid chamber further comprises an inner wall;   the inner wall and the outer wall being substantially similar in height.   
     
     
         11 . The dual-source vaporizer in  claim 9 , the dual-source vaporizer further comprising no dry herb stem. 
     
     
         12 . The dual-source vaporizer as recited in  claim 9 , the dry herb vaporizer further comprising a temperature controller configured to adjust the temperature of the dry herb vaporizer.
