Heating elements, cartridges for use with a vaporizing device, vaporizing devices for generating an inhalable aerosol, and methods for their manufacture are provided. The heating element may include a substrate configured to heat a vaporizable material. The substrate may include a first region (852), a second region (853), and a third region (855). The third region may be disposed between the first and second regions, and the third region may include a first plurality of rupture structures (856) configured to direct a thermal path, an electric current path, or both, through the third region in a predetermined direction. Vaporizer cartridges and vaporizing devices, as well as methods for their manufacture, are also provided.
