A first chamber, equipped with a ceramic coil, is configured to melt solid or semi-solid THC in the form of crystals, concentrates, or extracts, which is then vaporized for inhalation by a user in a separate chamber below the ceramic. A second chamber equipped with a vertical metallic coil then vaporizes flavorings such as terpenes which are suspended in the liquid solution. A single air passageway is employed to direct air through both chambers in a serial fashion before exiting the device through a mouthpiece. The device facilitates measured dosages of THC for inhalation by the user.
