Wax vaporizer having heating cylinders and adjustable mouthpiece

Abstract

A vaporizer for wax concentrates has a body having a battery, and atomizer, and a heating chamber. The heating chamber is open at a proximal end of the body. A mouthpiece is removably affixable to the proximal end of the body. The heating chamber includes two ceramic heating elements shaped as cylinders with a heating wire extending through them. The mouthpiece of one embodiment includes a filtering boss that extends into the heating chamber. Another embodiment utilizes a mouthpiece with non-linear channels separated in part by a deflecting block. The deflecting block may include an adjustable plate that adjusts the airflow through the nonlinear channels.

1 . A wax vaporizer comprising:
 a body defined by an outer wall extending between a distal end to a proximal end, the proximal end having a central opening;   a heating chamber within the body and defined by a chamber wall extending into the body from a rim of the central opening to a back wall;   a heating element housed within the body and located adjacent to the heating chamber;   a mouthpiece having an outer wall extending from a distal end to a proximal end;   a tamping boss protruding from the distal end of the mouthpiece and terminating at an air permeable, rigid tamping plate;   a central passage through the mouthpiece extending from the tamping plate to an opening at the proximal end of the mouthpiece;   wherein the mouthpiece is removably attachable to the body such that the central conduit of the mouthpiece is aligned with the central opening of the body;   a rechargeable battery housed within the body;   at least one air passage extending from an exterior of the body to the heating chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 1  wherein the tamping boss has a sidewall that lies flush against the heating chamber wall when the mouthpiece is attached to the body. 
     
     
         3 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 2  further comprising a display panel on the outer wall of the body and a microcontroller housed within the body and controlling the heating element and the display panel. 
     
     
         4 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 2  wherein the at least one air passage extends through the heating element and the heating chamber's backwall. 
     
     
         5 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 2  wherein the tamping boss is removably attachable to the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         6 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 5  wherein the tamping plate is housed in a screen bracket removably attachable to the distal end of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         7 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 6  wherein the tamping boss comprises a conduit having a tamping plate at a terminating end. 
     
     
         8 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 7  further comprising two tabs that extend in a proximal direction from a proximal end of the conduit and are complementary to two slots in the distal end of the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         9 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 8  wherein the distal end of the screen bracket sleeve is sized to fit within the opening in the proximal end of the body such that the sleeve lies flush against the heating chamber wall. 
     
     
         10 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 9  wherein the tamping plate is removable from the tamping boss. 
     
     
         11 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 10  wherein the proximal end of the body includes one or more magnetic connectors and the distal end of the mouthpiece includes one or more magnetic connectors complementary to the connectors of the body. 
     
     
         12 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 11  wherein the heating element is actuated by the pressing a button on the outer wall of the body. 
     
     
         13 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 12  wherein the heating element may be adjusted between three or more different temperature settings. 
     
     
         14 . The wax vaporizer of  claim 13  further comprising an indicator panel having one or more LED indicator lights. 
     
     
         15 . A method for vaporizing a wax comprising:
 providing a wax heating chamber housed within a vaporizer body and defined by a chamber wall extending from an opening in a proximal end of the vaporizer body to a backwall inside the vaporizing body, at least one heating element, and a plurality of air channels supplying air from an exterior of the body to the heating chamber;   providing a mouthpiece having a distal end removably attachable to the proximal end of   the   
       vaporizer body and a central passage extending through the mouthpiece and aligned with the opening into the wax heating chamber;
 affixing a removable tamping boss to the distal end of the mouthpiece, the tamping boss defined by a sidewall extending in a distal direction and having a tamping plate at a terminating end; 
 inserting a wax product into the heating chamber; 
 attaching the distal end of the mouthpiece to the proximal end of the vaporizer body such that the tamping boss partially extends into the opening to the heating chamber such that the sidewall of the tamping boss lies flush against the chamber wall; 
 selecting a temperature for heating the wax product; 
 actuating the heating element, thereby heating the wax product to a temperature sufficient to generate vapor from the wax; and, 
 applying suction to the heating chamber through the screen and the central bore of the mouthpiece. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method for vaporizing a wax of  claim 15  further comprising securing the mouthpiece to the body by aligning a pair of magnetic connectors on the distal end of the mouthpiece with complementary metal connectors on the proximal end of the body. 
     
     
         17 . The method for vaporizing a wax of  claim 16  wherein the removable tamping boss is affixed to the mouthpiece by inserting two proximally extending tabs on a proximal end of the tamping boss into two slots on the distal end of the mouthpiece.
