The present invention relates to vaporizer accessory storage cases. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a vaporizer accessory case having an insert with a plurality of divided slots for removably securing various vaporizer accessories therein, including sanitary vaporizer mouthpiece covers.
Many individuals enjoy vaping as an alternative to smoking. Vaping typically utilizes a portable heating element vaporizes a fluid that can then be inhaled through a mouthpiece. Vaping provides many benefits over smoking. Generally speaking, vaping generates a healthier inhalant that can be flavored or otherwise customized to suit an individual's preferences. Vaping can further be enjoyable as a group activity, where several people share the vaporizer. However, this can be result in hygiene issues. Particularly, failing to protect or wipe down the mouthpiece of the vaporizer between users can transmit pathogens. Furthermore, bacteria and other pathogens can propagate if the vaporizer elements are not stored properly. Leaving a vaporizer mouthpiece uncovered and in open air can result in further pathogen spread. Therefore, a device that can store vaporizer accessories, and also provide sanitary mouthpiece covers for use with multiple users to improve hygiene and prevent the spread of illness is desired.
In light of the devices disclosed in the known art, it is submitted that the present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art and consequently it is clear that there is a need in the art for an improvement to existing vaporizer accessory storage cases. In this regard, the instant invention substantially fulfills these needs.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of vaporizer accessory cases now present in the known a , the present invention provides a vaporizer accessory case wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when utilizing sanitary vaporizer mouthpiece covers for sharing a vaporizer with multiple users in a safe and sanitary way.
The present system comprises a container having a base and a plurality of perimeter sidewalls extending therefrom defining an interior volume. A lid is removably securable to the plurality of perimeter sidewalk, the lid configured to enclose the interior volume. An insert is disposed within the interior volume, wherein the insert includes a plurality of divided slots therein. Each of the plurality of slots is dimensioned to removably secure at least one vaporizer accessory therein. In some embodiments, a plurality of sanitary mouthpiece covers is further provided, the plurality of sanitary mouthpiece covers including a first open end opposite a second open end, wherein the second open end is removably securable to a vaporizer mouthpiece.
In some embodiments, the lid is hingedly affixed to at least one perimeter sidewall of the plurality of perimeter sidewalk. In another embodiment, the lid comprises a lip configured to frictionally engage the plurality of perimeter sidewalk. In other embodiments, the lid further comprises a latch thereon, wherein the latch engages a receiver disposed on an exterior of at least one perimeter sidewall of the plurality of perimeter sidewalk. In yet another embodiment, the insert comprises a compressible material. In some embodiments, the compressible material comprises a foam material. In another embodiment, each of the plurality of divided slots comprise a smaller size than an associated vaporizer accessory, such that each of the plurality of divided slots frictionally engage the associated vaporizer accessory. In other embodiments, the at least one vaporizer accessory is selected from a group consisting of a sanitary mouthpiece cover, a vaporizer cartridge, a vaporizer body, and a vaporizer charging system. In yet another embodiment, the sanitary mouthpiece cover tapers radially inwardly from a second open end thereof towards a first open end thereof, such that the second open end comprises a greater diameter than the first open end. In some embodiments, the second open end is configured to form an airtight seal secured to the vaporizer mouthpiece. In another embodiment, the sanitary mouthpiece cover comprises a silicone material.
Although the characteristic features of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims, the invention itself and manner in which it may be made and used may be better understood after a review of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like numeral annotations are provided throughout.
Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the vaporizer accessory case and kit. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

An insert 17 is disposed within the interior volume 15 of the container 12. In some embodiments, the insert 17 is removably securable within the interior volume 15, such that multiple inserts 17 can be interchanged to operate with different vaporizers and associated accessories. The insert 17 includes a plurality of divided slots (as shown in
In the illustrated embodiment, the plurality of vaporizer accessories 19 consists of a plurality of sanitary mouthpiece covers 23, a vaporizer cartridge 24, a vaporizer body 25, and a vaporizer charging system 26. The vaporizer cartridge 24 comprises an interior reservoir containing a vaporizer fluid configured to be heated to transition to a vapor for inhalation through a mouthpiece disposed on the vaporizer cartridge 24. The vaporizer body 25 further includes a power source and a heating element therein, wherein the heating element is configured to heat the vaporizer fluid to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the fluid for inhalation when the heating element is activated. In the shown embodiment, the vaporizer body 25 is removably securable to the vaporizer cartridge 24. The vaporizer charging system 26 is configured to operably connect to the vaporizer body 25 and the power source therein, such that the power source is rechargeable thereby. In the illustrated embodiment, the vaporizer charging system 26 comprises a USB connector, however, in alternate embodiments, alternate charging means are contemplated.
In embodiments of the vaporizer accessory kit 11, the plurality of sanitary mouthpiece covers 23 are included, whereas, in alternate embodiments, the container 12 and insert 17 are provided for use with existing vaporizers and accessories. The plurality of sanitary mouthpiece covers 23 are configured to prevent the transfer of pathogens to the vaporizer mouthpiece, such that the user can readily remove the sanitary mouthpiece cover 23 from the vaporizer mouthpiece to share the vaporizer with another user. In this manner, the vaporizer accessory kit 11 provides a portable and convenient means for transporting and safely sharing a vaporizer with multiple users.
