Vape cartridge cover and vaping apparatus

Abstract

A cover for a vape cartridge is disclosed. In particular, the cover includes a body having a distal segment. A mouthpiece is formed circumferentially in the distal segment of the body so that when a user's lips are closed around the mouthpiece and the user draws a breath, suction is produced, and the vape cartridge can be operated. The base body can be formed, for example, of a hard plastic, metal, or other rigid and durable substance.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vape cartridge cover comprising:
 a base;   a connector;   the base comprising a tubular base body with a base passageway extending longitudinally therethrough from a proximal base inlet opening to a distal base outlet opening, the base body having a mouthpiece formed in a distal end region comprising the base outlet opening;   the connector comprising a tubular connector body with a connector passageway extending longitudinally therethrough from a proximal connector inlet opening to a distal connector outlet opening;   the connector being operative to receive an inserted proximal end of the base body to form a sealed connection, whereby the base outlet opening is in sealed fluid connection to the connector inlet opening.   
     
     
         2 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 1  wherein the mouthpiece extends circumferentially around the outlet opening and wherein the mouthpiece is adapted to produce suction in the connector passageway. 
     
     
         3 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 1  further comprising an elongate clip arm fixedly connected to the base body. 
     
     
         4 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 3  wherein the elongate clip arm is flexible. 
     
     
         5 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 1  wherein the base body is formed of a rigid material. 
     
     
         6 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 5  wherein the base body is formed of hard plastic. 
     
     
         7 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 5  wherein the base body is of one-piece molded construction. 
     
     
         8 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 1  wherein the connector body has an inner surface, the base body has an outer surface, and wherein at least a portion of the connector body inner surface has a smaller circumference than at least a portion of the base body outer surface. 
     
     
         9 . The vape cartridge cover of  claim 8  wherein the connector body is formed of a material that is radially compressible.
