[0078] That is, these detailed embodiments are intended to be exemplary of the present invention for the purposes of providing and aiding a person skilled in the pertinent art to readily understand how to make and use the present invention. While certain shapes and materials are used in some embodiments, they are by no means an intention of restriction. Specific materials for embodiments are, for example without limitation, Brass, Stainless Steel, Copper, Lead-Free Copper, Zirconia Ceramic, Polycarbonate (PC), Poly Cyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PCTG), Polyamide Nylon (PA), Polypropylene (PP), and other various Plastics. In an embodiment, the components described herein are made, for example without limitation, by plastic injection using a mold.

[0079] In alternative embodiments (a so-called “first embodiment”) an exemplary vaporization device (100) as provided herein comprises the elements as illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5. For the first embodiment, exemplary distinguishing elements include: a vertical orientation of the cartridge (130) in relation to the battery or power source (160). The outer shell (170) is a tube-like structure that allows removal by pressing down on the tube (131) while pulling the outer shell (170) upwards.

[0080] In alternative embodiments (a so-called “second embodiment”), an exemplary vaporization device (600) as provided herein comprises the elements as illustrated in FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. For the second embodiment, exemplary distinguishing elements include: a horizontal orientation of the cartridge (130) in relation to the battery or power source (160). This requires a pinching motion of the release arms A of the chassis (651) to detach the removeable chassis (650) from the outer shell (670).

For the third embodiment, exemplary distinguishing elements include: a horizontal orientation of the cartridge (130) in relation to the battery or power source (160). Unlike the first, second, and fourth embodiments, the third embodiment’s cartridge (130) does not require a tube. Therefore, the locking mechanism for the mouthpiece (110) differs in that the mouthpiece (110) is removed from the removeable chassis (850) by disengaging the releasable arm B (877) and hooked arm B (878) from the latch of the mouthpiece (876) by inserting a pin (300) into the unlocking hole (875) of the mouthpiece. In alternative embodiments (a so-called “fourth embodiment”), an exemplary vaporization device (1000) as provided herein comprises the elements as illustrated in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15. For the fourth embodiment, exemplary distinguishing elements include: a vertical orientation of the cartridge (1030) in relation to the battery or power source (160). Unlike the first, second, and third embodiments, the fourth embodiment’s cartridge tank (1035) has release arms (1036) that unlock when the mouthpiece (110) is removed. This allows the removeable chassis (150) to detach from the outer shell (1070) by using a pin to insert into the bottom air intake hole of the outer shell (174) to push the removeable chassis (150) up.

[0082] An embodiment of an exemplary vaporization device can comprise a locking mouthpiece, for example, as described in U.S. provisional patent application serial no. 63 / 255,890 (hereinafter “the ‘890 application”), filed on October 14, 2021, and in PCT application serial no. PCT / US22 / 78109, filed October 14, 2022, published as WO 2023 064896 Al, April 20, 2023 (hereinafter “the ‘ 109 application”), both of which are hereby incorporated in their entirety herein. In alternative embodiments, devices as provided herein comprise use of a releasable locking mouthpiece as described in ‘890 application and the ‘ 109 application, which disclose a releasable locking mouthpiece that once attached to a vaporization cartridge can be removed therefrom by the insertion of an appropriately sized release pin into an opening in the mouthpiece.

However, while all removable chassis (150, 650, 850) are removeable, only removeable chassis 150 is secured by flexible rings (see 139, 154). Removeable chassis 650 and 850 does not require flexible rings to be secured; instead, removeable chassis 650 and 850 are secured via the hooked arm A (652) of the chassis that locks into the latch (671) of the outer shell (670) (the term shell can be placed by the term “housing”).

[0085] In alternative embodiments, the removable chassis (150, 650, 850) as provided herein hold, or encase, one or more batteries (160), a pressure or air flow sensor (161) and / or a charging port (162). In alternative embodiments, one removable chassis (150, 650, 850) holds or encases one or more batteries (160), a pressure or air flow sensor (161) and a charging port (162). In alternative embodiments, one removable chassis (150, 650, 850) is segmented or compartmentalized to hold or encase one or more batteries (160), a pressure or air flow sensor (161) and a charging port (162).

[0086] In alternative embodiments, the exemplary outer shell (670, 1070) has a latch (671, 1071) that the removable chassis (650, 850) or cartridge (1030) secures into, while in another embodiment the exemplary outer shell (170) does not have this latch (671, 1071) since it uses flexible rings (139, 154) for a friction fit.

[0087] In alternative embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 11, an exemplary vaporization device (1000) further comprises a release arm or arms (1036) towards the top of the cartridge (1030), and also further comprises a latch (1071) towards the top opening end of the outer shell (1070). When the mouthpiece gets inserted, the release arm or arms (1036) of the tank (1035) engages with the radially outwardly extending latch (1071) of the outer shell (1070) which locks the removable chassis (150) and cartridge (1030) in place. When a removable pin (300) is inserted into the mouthpiece (110) and the mouthpiece (110) gets removed, the release arm or arms (1036) of the tank (1035) disengages from the latch (1071) of the outer shell (1070).

[0088] In alternative embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 12, an outer shell (1070) fully encloses the removable chassis (150).

[0089] In alternative embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 13, when an outer shell (1070) fully encloses the bottom of the removable chassis (150), a removable pin (300) is required to be inserted into a the bottom air intake hole (174) of the outer shell (1070) to push the removable chassis (150) up and out of the outer shell (1070). This can be done after the mouthpiece (110) is removed and release arm or arms (1036) of the tank (1035) are disengaged from the latch (1071) of the outer shell (1070).
