An electronic cigarette or vaporizer may include a shell and a cartomizer receivable within a chamber within a portion of the shell. The cartomizer may hold a vaporizable fluid, dry substance, or other vaporizable substance such as a wax. A charger may also be included which in one embodiment may be insertable into the chamber, and in another embodiment may be connectable to an end of the shell. Various electrical components, such as a printed circuit board, a recharagable battery, various indicator lights, a sensor, and display screen, for instance, improve the functionality of the vaporizer from known vaporizers. Magnets may also be provided in order to secure the cartomizer or the charger to the shell.

1. A vaporizer comprising: a shell having a battery segment and a cartomizer receiving segment, the cartomizer receiving segment defining a chamber having an insertion end distal from the battery segment and a base end proximate to the battery segment;a cartomizer insertable into the chamber at the insertion end, the cartomizer including: an outer cartomizer shell,a holding structure provided within, and secured to, the outer cartomizer shell, the holding structure including a basin dimensioned to hold a vaporizable substance,a heating element provided within the basin operable to heat the vaporizable substance,cartomizer electrical contacts provided on the exterior of the cartomizer,cartomizer electrical circuitry operable to direct an electronic current between the cartomizer electrical contacts and the heating element, anda mouthpiece fluidly communicable with the basin, the mouthpiece extending from the insertion end of the chamber when the cartomizer is inserted in the chamber, wherein the heating element is activated by the current and is operable to heat the vaporizable substance to a vaporization temperature;a battery housed within the battery segment;battery electrical contacts provided between the base end of the chamber and the battery segment, the battery electrical contacts positioned to contact the cartomizer electrical contacts when the cartomizer is inserted in the chamber; andbattery electrical circuitry housed within the battery segment and operable to direct an electrical current between the battery, the battery electrical contacts, the cartomizer electrical contacts, the heating element, and the inserted cartomizer. 2. The vaporizer of claim 1, further comprising a container having container walls provided proximate to the basin, the container dimensioned such that the vaporizable substance may pass from the container to the basin. 3. The vaporizer of claim 1, wherein the holding structure further includes a stabilizing element connectable with the outer cartomizer shell, the basin secured to the stabilizing element. 4. The vaporizer of claim 3, wherein the stabilizing element includes a first threaded portion threadably connectable with the outer cartomizer shell. 5. The vaporizer of claim 4, further comprising a container including container walls and a threaded container portion, the container dimensioned such that the vaporizable substance is passable from between the container walls to the basin, and the stabilizing element includes a second threaded portion threadably engagable with the threaded container portion. 6. The vaporizer of claim 5, further comprising at least one air passage provided through at least one hole in the outer shell and at least one hole in the container wall. 7. The vaporizer of claim 6, wherein the vaporizable substance is a wax. 8. The vaporizer of claim 6, further comprising a cartomizer printed circuit board in electronic communication with the cartomizer electrical circuitry. 9. The vaporizer of claim 1, further comprising a container having container walls provided proximate to the basin, the container arranged relative to the basin such that the vaporizable substance may pass from the container into the basin. 10. The vaporizer of claim 9, wherein the basin defines a cavity and includes a barrier that covers the cavity. 11. The vaporizer of claim 10, wherein the container is arranged relative to the basin such that the vaporizable substance may pass from the container into the basin by passing through the barrier. 12. The vaporizer of claim 10, wherein the barrier comprises a screen or mesh.
