Vaporizer devices for generating an inhalable
aerosol are provided. In one exemplary implementation, a
vaporizer device (400) includes a
cartridge (420) and a device body (410) having a receptacle (418) configured to receive the
cartridge. The
cartridge includes vaporizable material (402), heater chamber(s),
heating element(s) (442), inlet(s) (429),
airflow outlet channel(s) (426), and
airflow outlet(s) (428). The
heating element(s) are configured to heat the vaporizable material to generate a vapor, and the inlet(s) are configured to allow external air to enter the heater chamber(s) and entrain the vapor. The
airflow outlet channel(s) are in fluid communication with the heater chamber(s), and include at least one condensation chamber configured to condense the entrained vapor with
ambient air to form at least a portion of the inhalable
aerosol. The airflow outlet(s) are configured to deliver the inhalable
aerosol to a user, and in fluid communication with the at least one condensation chamber. In some aspects, a perimeter of the
heating element(s) defines at least a portion of a perimeter of the heater chamber(s) which contain the vaporizable material.
