20200288780 · 2020-09-17 ·

A vapor dispenser includes a bifurcated housing having a body attached to a mouthpiece. A vaporizer cavity of the bifurcated body pneumatically communicates with an inlet orifice of the mouthpiece. A vaporizing component is received in the vaporizing cavity. An exhaust cavity of the bifurcated body pneumatically communicates with an outlet orifice of the mouthpiece. The exhaust cavity is pneumatically separated from the vaporizer cavity. A one-way valve is positioned in a selected one of: (i) the exhaust cavity; and (ii) outlet orifice and that: (i) opens in response to exhalation through the bifurcated mouthpiece; and (ii) closes in response to inhalation through the bifurcated mouthpiece. An air filter is received in the exhaust cavity.
