Patent attributes
A vaporizer comprising a mouthpiece and battery. The mouthpiece preferably includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated by a small distance and providing an air pathway through the length of the mouthpiece, and a cooling liquid surrounding a portion of the lower chamber. Electrically connected to the battery is a pan that includes a heating element that heats the top surface of the pan to a desired temperature for vaporizing, but not combusting, a substance desired to be inhaled. A pan protector, made of an insulating material, surrounds the sides of the pan to prevent injury to a user. The vaporizer further includes a controller for ensuring that the pan is heated only to a pre-selected temperature sufficient to vaporize, but not combust, the chosen substance.
