Vapor Bottle Nozzle Adapter for Forced Air Vaporizers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current forced air style vaporizer devices suffer from unpleasant odors and tastes due to silicone components and are limited to proprietary glass receptacles, making them difficult to clean and requiring frequent replacements.
Innovation Solution
A Vapor Bottle Nozzle Adapter system using non-silicone components, such as glass or metal, that allows users to modify existing bottles by drilling a hole, enabling the use of custom receptacles and reducing silicone contact in the airpath, thereby improving vapor taste and flexibility in container selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If silicone nozzle is used in PZR-style vaporizers, then vaporizer can be manufactured with simple structure, but unpleasant odors and tastes are generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the silicone nozzle component from the vaporizer system and replaces it with a glass receptacle that has a hole in the bottom. This extraction of the harmful silicone material from the vapor path eliminates the source of unpleasant odors and tastes while maintaining the functional capability of the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a glass receptacle with a hole in the bottom as an intermediary component between the vaporizer base and the user. This glass receptacle serves as a mediator that receives vapor from the base and directs it to the user without introducing harmful silicone materials into the vapor path.
2Ease of manufacture
If proprietary glass receptacle is used, then vaporizer device can be manufactured with integrated design, but adaptability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal interface by specifying a standard hole size (approximately 18mm) in the bottom of the receptacle. This standardized opening allows the same vaporizer base to work with various types of glass receptacles from different manufacturers, enabling multi-functionality and broad compatibility while maintaining an integrated design approach.
3Ease of manufacture
If silicone nozzle with groove is used, then vaporizer can be manufactured with simple structure, but cleaning difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the silicone nozzle component that contains the groove structure. By eliminating this component entirely and replacing it with a simple glass receptacle having a hole in the bottom, the patent removes the source of cleaning difficulties while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent discards the complex silicone nozzle structure with its groove and instead adopts a simpler glass receptacle design. This discarding of the problematic component simplifies the overall structure and makes cleaning much easier, as the glass receptacle can be easily cleaned or replaced without disassembly.
4Ease of manufacture
If silicone components are used in airpath, then vaporizer can be manufactured with simple structure, but vapor quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts silicone components from the airpath by removing the silicone nozzle and replacing it with a glass receptacle. This extraction eliminates the harmful interaction between silicone and vapor, thereby improving vapor quality while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through the use of straightforward glass components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter of the airpath components from silicone to glass. This material substitution fundamentally alters the interaction with vapor, eliminating odor retention and taste contamination while maintaining the functional simplicity of the device structure.

AI summary
The present disclosure is a vapor bottle nozzle adapter that addresses issues and problems with the PZR-style vaporizers, including unpleasant odors and tastes from the silicone components, and the limitation or need to use receptacles that are proprietary and specially made for each PZR-style vaporizer device, by using, a disk component, which sits on top of the PZR-style cover and a specialized tube device, which fits into the disk component, and from which the vapor is expelled downwardly into the bottle or container. Alternatively, a third component, a modified insert component that fits into the PZR vaporizer well instead of the existing cover is used for the assembly. These two or three components work together to allow the vaporizer device to produce better tasting vapor and distribute the vapor from the vaporizer to a non-proprietary receptacle.
