Heating system for vaporizable material insert

A vaporizer system for generating an inhalable aerosol, the vaporizer system comprising:

• a vaporizable material insert including a vaporizable material;
• and
• a vaporizer device comprising:
• a heating system comprising:
• a heating element positioned along a vaporizable material insert receptacle configured to receive the vaporizable material insert, the heating element configured to heat the vaporizable material insert for generating the inhalable aerosol;
• a compression element for pressing the vaporizable material insert against the heating element, the compression element comprises:
• a first compression plate and a second compression plate positioned along opposing sides of the vaporizable material insert receptacle, wherein the first compression plate and the second compression plate are configured to move towards each other to press the vaporizable material insert against the heating element;
• a plurality of first protrusions extending from the first compression plate and into the vaporizable material insert receptacle, the plurality of first protrusions configured to apply pressure against the vaporizable material insert;
• a plurality of second protrusions extending from the second compression plate and into the vaporizable material insert receptacle, the plurality of second protrusions configured to apply pressure against the vaporizable material insert;
• and
• an airflow pathway extending along the vaporizable material insert receptacle for allowing the inhalable aerosol to flow through an outlet of the vaporizer device;
• wherein at least one first protrusion and at least one second protrusion are positioned opposite each other.

A method for generating an inhalable aerosol for inhalation by a user, the method comprising:

• receiving a vaporizable material insert including a vaporizable material into a vaporizable material insert receptacle of a vaporizer device;
• compressing the vaporizable material insert against a heating element positioned along the vaporizable material insert receptacle with a compression element, wherein the compression element comprises:
• a first compression plate and a second compression plate positioned along opposing sides of the vaporizable material insert receptacle, wherein the first compression plate and the second compression plate are configured to move towards each other to press the vaporizable material insert against the heating element;
• a plurality of first protrusions extending from the first compression plate and into the vaporizable material insert receptacle, the plurality of first protrusions configured to apply pressure against the vaporizable material insert;
• and
• a plurality of second protrusions extending from the second compression plate and into the vaporizable material insert receptacle, the plurality of second protrusions configured to apply pressure against the vaporizable material insert;
• wherein at least one first protrusion and at least one second protrusion are positioned opposite each other;
• and
• activating the heating element to heat the vaporizable material of the vaporizable material insert to form the inhalable aerosol.
