CPC A24F 40/49 (2020.01) [A24F 40/485 (2020.01)] | 15 Claims |
1. A method to selective block vapor flow through a cartridge, the method comprising:
providing a vapor barrier (1520) having a body (1521), open top (1523), open bottom end (1525), flexible side walls (1506) and front and back walls (1527) forming a fluid pathway further comprising;
a first half pathway (1512) fluidly connected to a vapor inlet/pathway (130) through a distal end (120) of the vapor barrier (1520); a second half pathway (1514) fluidly connected to an inhalation outlet (1510) configured to affixed to an extract containing vaporizer cartridge (100);
a deformable valve (1515) between the first half pathway and the second half pathway in a first at rest state;
wherein squeezing the side walls of the vapor barrier with a predetermined squeeze force deforms and opens the deformable valve thereby allowing vapor produced by a cartridge fluidly connected to the vapor barrier will flow through the first and second half pathways; and,
mounting the vapor barrier to the cartridge by way of a first interface formed at the bottom of the vapor barrier configured to mate with a second interface (175) formed on one of the cartridge or a cap (1800) over a portion of the cartridge.
