Abstract
A cartridge, which forms part of a system for inducing air flow past a product capable of being vaporized, includes a hollow, apertured container and a support of strip material having a convoluted configuration mounted in the container. A quantity of the product is impregnated in the support of strip material. The container also houses a battery which has exposed terminals. The cartridge of the invention is used with an apparatus that has a housing defining a cartridge receiving cavity shaped and dimensioned to receive the cartridge container, a fan mounted in the housing to induce air flow through the cavity, and electrically powered motor for driving the fan and contacts electrically connected to the motor and located to contact the battery terminals when the cartridge is received in the cavity.
