Deformable valves and atomizer designs for a vaporizer (e.g., electronic cigarette). The vaporizer may be used for vaporization of liquid and/or organic material. The vaporizer may enable enhanced flow control of fluid and may generate high quality and quantity of vapor efficiently. In some instances, flow path of the vaporizer may allow bulk fluid flow, e.g., in contrast to capillary flow, to deliver fluid to a vicinity of the vaporizer. In some instances, the vaporizer may utilize improved atomizer designs for vaporizing devices, where said designs can be configured optionally, with various embodiments of a breath-modulating deformable valve.

The present invention is directed to a self-cleaning water pipe including a secondary pipe that directs a stream of filtered water to the top of the main pipe. The stream of water is introduced to the main pipe proximate or adjacent to the mouthpiece in a lateral direction so as to cover the entire inner surface of the main pipe with a water membrane. The water membrane presents a barrier to smoke residue and particulates from being deposited on the inner surface of the main pipe. A tertiary pipe may also introduce a stream of water to a downstem pipe so as to create a similar water membrane in the downstem pipe.

The BOX TIP Vape n Scrape herbal concentrate vaping device straight edge design produces greater vaping yield; resulting in less herbal concentrate product waste, monetary loss, and herbal concentrate vaping device cleaning time when compared to similar-sized curved edge herbal concentrate vaping devices; because a straight edge contains more edge to flat surface points of contact than a curved edge's single edge to flat surface point of contact.

For vaporizing an active ingredient, and apparatus includes a combustion chamber, a ceramic cup, and a dart. The combustion chamber vaporizes the active ingredient and includes a chamber inner wall. The ceramic cup is disposed within the combustion chamber and includes a cup inner wall, a cup outer wall, and at least one groove. The cup outer wall abuts the chamber inner wall and the at least one groove provides airflow along the chamber inner wall to the combustion chamber. The dart includes one or more scrapers. The scrapers scrape the cup inner wall as the dart is rotated within the combustion chamber.

An aerosol-generating device is provided, including a heating element coupled to a controller, wherein the controller is programmed to actuate the heating element through: a first thermal cycle in which a temperature of the heating element is raised to a first temperature to form an aerosol from an aerosol-forming substrate disposed in proximity to the heating element; a second thermal cycle in which the temperature of the heating element is raised to a second temperature, higher than the first temperature, to thermally liberate organic material adhered to or deposited on the heating element; and the second thermal cycle automatically when the aerosol-forming substrate is removed from contact with the heating element. A method of controlling an aerosol-generating device having a reusable heating element is also provided.
