Vaporizer device with variable booster circuit

A vaporizer device, comprising:

• a power source;
• a variable boost circuit having a bypass mode and a non-bypass mode, the variable boost circuit in the bypass mode configured to deliver power from the power source to a heating element by generating a first output voltage corresponding to a voltage of the power source, the variable boost circuit in the non-bypass mode configured to deliver power from the power source to the heating element by generating a second output voltage that is greater than the voltage of the power source, the delivery of power to the heating element increasing a temperature of the heating element to a target temperature for vaporizing a vaporizable material, wherein the variable boost circuit comprises a feedback circuit configured to receive a feedback signal, and wherein the variable boost circuit is configured to adjust the second output voltage based on the feedback signal;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• determine, based at least on one or more measurements associated with the heating element, whether to operate the variable boost circuit in the bypass mode or the non-bypass mode;
• adjust, when operating the variable boost circuit in the bypass mode, a first duty cycle at which the first output voltage is applied at the heating element;
• generate, when operating the variable boost circuit in the non-bypass mode, a control signal, wherein the feedback signal is applied to the feedback circuit based on the control signal and the second output voltage;
• and
• adjust a second duty cycle of the control signal to increase or decrease the second output voltage, wherein the first duty cycle at which the first output voltage is applied to the heating element is associated with a first path that is separate from a second path associated with the second duty cycle of the control signal.
