A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

A personal vaporizing unit having a proximal end configured to be placed in a human mouth, the personal vaporizing unit comprising: a light pipe sleeve that conducts light entering a proximal end of the light pipe sleeve to the distal end of the light pipe sleeve; anda cartridge held by the light pipe sleeve, wherein light exiting a distal end of the light pipe sleeve is diffused by the cartridge, the cartridge comprising: a housing, the housing having a first end and a second end, the housing configured to be disposed within said personal vaporizing unit, said housing configured to hold a fluid to be vaporized into a mixture of air and vaporized fluid by said personal vaporizing unit, said housing and said personal vaporizing unit forming, when said cartridge is disposed in said personal vaporizing unit, at least one space between an exterior surface of said housing and an interior surface of said personal vaporizing unit that defines a passage for outside air without said mixture to be drawn from outside said personal vaporizing unit from a distal end direction and along said passage to said second end. 14. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 13, wherein said housing further comprises: at least one anti-vacuum channel formed by an interior surface of said housing that allows air into said cartridge to replace said fluid that is removed from said cartridge. 15. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 14, wherein said fluid is removed from said cartridge by a capillary action of a wick in contact with said fluid. 16. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 13, wherein at least an end surface of said housing is translucent to diffuse light produced internally to said personal vaporizing unit. 17. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 13, wherein said at least one space is created by a flat surface on said housing and a round inner diameter of said interior surface of said personal vaporizing unit. 18. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 13, further comprising: at least one stand-off that, when said cartridge is disposed in said personal vaporizing unit, creates a space between a distal end assembly of said personal vaporizing unit and said first end of said housing. 19. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 13, wherein said fluid contacts a wick when said cartridge is inserted in said personal vaporizing unit. 20. The personal vaporizing unit of claim 13, wherein an interior surface of said housing is configured to contact said personal vaporizer unit to form a contact seal that prevents said fluid from flowing into said at least one space.
