A portable liquid vaporizer (1) comprises a reservoir (10) for holding a liquid to be vaporized; a heater (12) for vaporizing the liquid; a mouthpiece (3) for withdrawing the vapor; and an air path (30) extending through the vaporizer (1), comprising a heating section (31) and a cooling section (32), wherein the heating section (31) extends along the heater (12) and the cooling section (32) extends directly downstream from the heater (12) to the mouthpiece (3).

The present invention is generally directed towards an aerosol generating device. More specifically, the invention is directed towards an aerosol generating device comprising an air flow channeling assembly with non-linear air flow channels. In a first aspect, the invention provides an aerosol generating device comprising a chamber configured to receive and supply heated air to an aerosol generating substrate, an air flow channeling assembly configured to deliver outside air into the chamber comprising a plurality of nonlinear air flow channels, wherein each air flow channel extends along a side wall of the chamber from an inlet opened toward the outside of the device to an outlet for discharging the delivered air to the chamber, and a heating unit configured to apply heat to the air flow channels.

Systems, methods and apparatuses for aerosolizing all or substantially all plant matter, medications, flavors, smells, liquid and/or other material to be aerosolizing are disclosed. Embodiments of the invention comprise an aerosolization chamber sealed except for two or more conduits, a first conduit coupled to a source of fully or almost fully oxygenated gas, a heating element capable of heating the aerosolization chamber to a temperature above a combustion temperature, a second conduit configured to transport aerosolized gases and elements out of the chamber and, in one implementation, at least one valve positioned in the second conduit preventing the flow of atmospheric air into the vaporization chamber. In some instances, the first gas substantially clears the vaporization chamber of atmospheric air prior to reaching combustion temperature. A second gas containing oxygen may be intermixed with the vaporization gases and vaporized elements proximal to the combustion chamber.
