1. A portable charging adapter system for charging a vaporizer device, comprising:
a charging adapter component including a power coupling feature; and
a charging adapter cap, comprising:
a cap housing having an inner chamber configured to insertably receive the power coupling feature; and
a securing element coupled to the inner chamber, the securing element including a plurality of cantilevered springs each extending from sides of the securing element, each of the plurality of cantilevered springs extending into the inner chamber, and each of the plurality of cantilevered springs configured to apply a spring force against the power coupling feature to thereby secure the power coupling feature within the inner chamber upon insertion.
