<p>The present invention relates generally to the fastening of a fluid transport mechanism (112) to a fluid reservoir (106), and optionally, to various mechanisms which increase the effectiveness of the vaporizing units within which such devices may be employed. For example, the fluid transport mechanism is suitably fastened to the reservoir and removal of the transport mechanism is substantially inhibited by a retaining force provided by one or more fastening features (111). That is, the transport mechanism is fabricated or suitably augmented such that once it has been inserted into the reservoir (102), it is not easily removable without significant force or through the use of tools. The retaining force is a force which opposes other forces applied to the transport mechanism which would tend to remove the fluid transport mechanism. For example, the retaining force is provided, at least in part, by fastening features configured on the fluid transport mechanism and/or other components, such as a fitment (104) or a sleeve, which engages the transport mechanism and likewise inhibits its removal by directing the retaining force in a direction opposite to that which is needed to remove the transport mechanism from the reservoir.</p> |
