1. A personal vaporizer, comprising:
a tank configured to contain a liquid vaporizing media;
a mouthpiece proximal of the tank and having a mouthpiece opening at a proximal end; and
an atomizer configured to atomize liquid vaporizing media from the tank and communicate atomized vaporizing media to a vapor tube, the vapor tube extending proximally from the atomizer through the tank;
wherein the mouthpiece is configured to be movable relative to the tank so that when the mouthpiece is in a first position the mouthpiece opening is in communication with the tank, and when the mouthpiece is in a second position the mouthpiece opening is in communication with the vapor tube;
an elongated intake air pin distal of atomizer and having an elongated tubular wall defining, a distal lumen and a proximal lumen defined within the tubular wall and separated by an inner wall, a medial air aperture being formed through the tubular wall distal of but adjacent to the inner wall and a proximal air aperture being formed through the tubular wall proximal of the inner wall, the proximal lumen of the intake air pin communicating with the atomizer; and
a base housing supporting the intake air pin;
wherein a collect space is defined between the intake air pin and the base housing, the collector space being configured to trap liquid vaporizing media that may flow distally from the atomizer.
