Abstract

Cartridges for use with a vaporizer device are provided. In some implementations, a cartridge comprises a storage compartment, a mouthpiece, a wicking material, and a heating element. The storage compartment is configured to hold a vaporizable material and has a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end, and a compartment side extending between the distal end and the proximal end. The mouthpiece encloses the proximal end of the storage compartment and has a side adjacent to the compartment side. The mouthpiece has a notch extending away from the edge of the mouthpiece toward the end of the mouthpiece, exposing a region of the compartment side. The wicking material is proximate to the storage compartment, disposed to contact the vaporizable material. The heating element is proximate to the storage compartment, is in contact with the wicking material, and is configured to generate an aerosol from the vaporizable material.
