Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for vaporizing therapeutic materials. The system includes a compact and easy-to-use attachment system that can be used with a therapeutic vaporizer. The attachment system includes a mouthpiece, body, and duck-bill valve that automatically closes when removed from the vaporizer. The duck-bill valve can be opened by a user, including physically impaired users, without needing additional components. The attachment system is simple in construction, reduces production and replacement costs, and is environmentally friendly. The technical effects of the invention include a more efficient, aesthetically-appealing, and user-friendly therapeutic vaporization experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional vaporizers, vaporizer bags, and vaporizer valves suffer from any of a number of drawbacks.
Specifically, some existing devices are unsightly, large, cumbersome, inefficient, expensive, and / or difficult to use.
Furthermore, some devices also have limited control of the vaporization process, and thus produce a poor quality of therapeutic gas.
Some conventional devices also include bulky accessories attached to the heater unit that can become tangled, or if detachable, lost.
