The contact insulator 924 form a first passage 928 communicating with the first groove 926, and a second passage 934 communicating with the second groove 932 allowing leads to extend from the contact rings to the charging control circuitry 972. The control circuitry 972 moves the charging location from the top of the vaporizer battery 982 to the coupler assembly 900. The circuitry 972 has a relay that switches in order to move the electrical power into two directions. The charging location on the coupler assembly 900 is created by a connection of the first contact ring 930 with circuitry 972, and the second contact ring 936 with the circuitry 972. In order to charge the battery 982, there is a connection from the circuitry 972 to the lower connection 960 (operating, for example, as the positive contact), and the circuitry 972 to the lower body 970 (operating, for example, as a negative contact). In order to move electrical power from the rechargeable battery 982 to the atomizer 984, there is a connection from the circuitry 972 to the upper connector 920 (operating, for example, as a positive contact), and the circuitry 972 to the upper member 904 (operating, for example, as a negative contact). The outer shell 964 is generally tubular and extends from an upper body 966 to a lower body 970. The interior of the outer shell 964 forms a flange 968 for retaining a bottom connector 950. The bottom end 916 of the main body 902 is received by the interior of the upper body 966 of the outer shell 964. The bottom connector 950 is held against the flange 968 within the interior of the outer shell 964 by the bottom end 916 of the main body 902. The bottom connector 950 includes a central wall 956 forming an upper rim 952, and a depending lower wall 957 with the bottom of the wall 957 resting on the flange 968. A central port 958 within the central wall 956 receives a tubular lower central connector insulator 962. The lower central connector insulator 962 includes a central opening for receiving a lower central connector 960. 5] In use, the coupler assembly is connected to the rechargeable battery

982 by connecting the terminal end of the battery 982 with the outer shell 964. The upper member 904 is connected to the base of the atomizer. The vaporize pen 980 with the coupler assembly 900 disposed between the rechargeable battery 982 and atomizer 984 is positioned in the third depression 1034 whereby the first contact ring 930 and second contact ring 936 are in electrical contact with the posts of contact 888. When the contact 888 is engaged, the battery 982 can be charged from the battery 878 or by a power supply connected to connector 886. When the vaporizer pen 980, couple assembly 900, and battery 982 are removed from the tray 1000 the circuitry 972 will permit the electricity from the battery 982 flow to the atomizer 984.
