A vaporizer device includes a housing, a wick element that is configured to contact a vaporizable substance, an induction heating element located within the housing and inductively coupled to the wick element and not in contact with the wick element, and a power source electrically connected to the induction heating element. The wick element is positioned such that the induction heating element is around the wick element and the wick element is surrounded by the induction heating element. The wick element is configured to heat the vaporizable substance based on induction heating. The induction heating element receives an alternating current from the power source and creates an electromagnetic induction field around the wick element, and the wick element generates heat based on the electromagnetic induction field. |
