Abstract
A mouthpiece for a vaporizer device includes a vapor inlet and an aerosol outlet. A first plurality of air inlets and a second plurality of air inlets are disposed between the vapor inlet and the aerosol outlet and configured to provide air streams. The air streams form a first vortex and a second vortex. The air streams mix with a vapor entering from the vapor inlet and form an aerosol exiting through the aerosol outlet. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

-110. (canceled)
A vaporizer device, comprising:
- a housing including an air inlet;
- a heating element within the housing, the heating element including a nonlinear positive temperature coefficient of resistance material;
- a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the heating element and arranged to receive an airflow from the air inlet, the heat exchanger configured to transfer heat between the heating element and the airflow to produce a heated airflow, wherein the heated airflow exiting the heat exchanger is configured to vaporize a vaporizable material;
- a cartridge having a first air inlet, wherein the cartridge comprises:
- a reservoir containing the vaporizable material;
- and
- a wick in fluidic communication with the vaporizable material, the wick arranged to receive the heated airflow from the heat exchanger to vaporize the vaporizable material to produce a vapor and/or a first aerosol;
- and
- a mouthpiece configured to receive the vapor and/or first aerosol through a vapor inlet.
