Abstract
A wick for metering and conveying a liquid to a heater to be vaporized, includes a body having a first region and a second region. The first region is where the wick receives the liquid to be vaporized. The second region is where the liquid leaves the wick to enter an emitter and be vaporized. The wick also includes a chamber, a first passage, and a second passage. The chamber is disposed in the body between the first region and the second region, and collects and holds the liquid traveling from the body's first region to the body's second region. The first passage is also disposed in the body and extends from the first region to the chamber to direct the liquid received at the body's first region toward the chamber. The second passage is also disposed in the body and extends from the chamber to the second region of the body.

Abstract
The proposed invention is a vaporizer device designed to be powered by an external source, such as a cell phone, laptop, or power pack, utilizing USB On-The-Go (OTG) technology for easy connection. The device includes a 510-thread connector for accepting vape cartridges and a power control button for adjusting the voltage level of the device. The voltage regulator and pulse width modulation components are integrated to ensure safe and efficient operation. The vaporizer device includes an airflow control ring for adjusting the airflow, and the voltage regulator regulates the voltage to achieve an optimal power supply range of 2.8-3.8 volts. The pulse width modulation component reduces the voltage over time to provide a more constant temperature to the vaporizer. The device is flexible, with the ability to use alternative connection types for the vape cartridge and is easily connected to a variety of external power sources.

Abstract
The present invention discloses an atomizer. The atomizer includes a concentrate reservoir volume that is in fluid communication with a concentrate vaporization assembly. The concentrate vaporization assembly includes a frit adapted to absorb concentrate from the concentrate reservoir volume. The concentrate vaporization assembly further includes a heating element adapted to heat the frit and absorbed concentrate. The atomizer further includes a vapor collection and discharge assembly including a vapor accumulation chamber in fluid communication with the frit and a vapor evacuation channel in fluid communication with the vapor accumulation chamber and in fluid communication with an egress port. The heating element is activated by a user control of a switch on a battery, which causes the concentrate contained within the frit filter to vaporize, and the user inhales resulting vapor by inhaling at the egress port of the vapor evacuation channel.

Abstract
The present invention is a method for vaporizing concentrate that will substantially eliminate general or localized burning of concentrate during the vaporization process and a device adapted for carrying out said method. The vaporization method is based on heating concentrate that has been absorbed into a frit, preferably fitted glass. Fritted glass is characterized by open-pore interstices that allow free passage of fluid through the frit. It is commonly used as a filtering element, particularly in high-temperature applications. It was discovered that concentrate placed in contact with fitted glass is absorbed through capillary action. Although room temperature concentrate may not readily seep fully into fritted glass, as concentrate is heated its viscosity is reduced such that it is readily absorbed by the fitted glass.

Abstract
The present invention is a method for vaporizing concentrate that will substantially eliminate general or localized burning of concentrate during the vaporization process and a device adapted for carrying out said method. The vaporization method is based on heating concentrate that has been absorbed into a permeable vaporization element, preferably a fritted glass disc. Fritted glass is characterized by open-pore interstices that allow free passage of fluid through the frit. It is commonly used as a filtering element, particularly in high-temperature applications. It was discovered that concentrate placed in contact with fritted glass is absorbed through capillary action. Although room temperature concentrate may not readily seep fully into fritted glass, as concentrate is heated its viscosity is reduced such that it is readily absorbed by the fritted glass.

Abstract
It is the object of the present invention to eliminate the disadvantages of the traditional dabbing method by providing a device and associated method that will reliably allow users to divide and collect a desired small quantity of Extract from a larger or bulk quantity of Extract and to conduct the small quantity of extract toward a Vaporizer heating element with minimal loss or wastage of Extract during the process, while significantly reducing required precision and effort associated Extract handling. The present invention of device and associated method result in a simpler, cleaner, and more efficient dabbing process.

Abstract
It is an objective of the present invention to reduce the disadvantages in currently available Vaporizers by providing a method and system of controlling the output voltage of the Battery such that the electrical current within and the temperature of the heating element and Extract are controllable. The present invention discloses the Battery that operates by supplying voltage that varies with time and provides various automatically or manually selectable voltage-time profiles. The voltage is controlled by an integrated controller that is able to vary the battery output voltage via voltage modulation and is able to continuously vary the output voltage. The voltage is modulated using pulse width modulation. The integrated controller is capable of storing and executing an embedded program for voltage modulation.
