  • Publication number: 20260174147
    Abstract: Vaporizer devices for generating an inhalable aerosol are provided, methods of manufacturing thereof, and cartridges for use therewith are provided. In one aspect, the vaporizer device can include a cartridge that can include a heating element having a first region, a second region, and one or more cut-out regions between the first and second regions; and a vaporizer body having a receptacle configured to insertably receive at least a portion of the cartridge, at least one first inductive coil configured to generate a first magnetic and/or electromagnetic field to heat the first region, at least one second inductive coil configured to generate a second magnetic and/or electromagnetic field to heat the second region, and a controller configured to independently apply power to the at least one first inductive coil and the at least one second inductive coil. Heating assemblies and methods of manufacturing thereof are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20260174148
    Abstract: Heating elements, cartridges for use with a vaporizer device, vaporizer devices for generating an inhalable aerosol, and methods of manufacturing thereof, are provided. The heating element can include a substrate configured to heat a vaporizable material. The substrate can include a first region, a second region, and a third region. The third region can be disposed between the first region and the second region, and the third region can include a first plurality of break structures configured to direct a thermal path, an electric current path, or both across the third region in a predetermined direction. Vaporizer cartridges and devices and methods of manufacturing thereof are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20250261691
    Abstract: Vaporizer devices for generating an inhalable aerosol are provided. In one exemplary implementation, a vaporizer device includes a cartridge and a device body having a receptacle configured to receive the cartridge. The cartridge includes vaporizable material, heater chamber(s), heating element(s), inlet(s), airflow outlet channel(s), and airflow outlet(s). 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.
