1. A method of manufacturing a vaporizer cartridge, comprising:
filling a first part of a volume of a mold with a first material, wherein the volume defines the vaporizer cartridge and the first part defines a reservoir housing of the vaporizer cartridge, the reservoir housing comprising a reservoir wall;
filling a second part of the volume of the mold with a second material, wherein the second part defines a mouthpiece of the vaporizer cartridge and is separate from the first part, the mouthpiece comprising a mouthpiece wall;
curing the first material and the second material;
contacting a first end of the reservoir wall with a second end of the mouthpiece wall; and
laser welding the first end of the reservoir wall to the second end of the mouthpiece wall such that an inner reservoir surface of the reservoir wall is continuous and co-planar with an inner mouthpiece surface of the mouthpiece wall, wherein the reservoir wall and the mouthpiece wall define at least a part of a reservoir chamber for containing a vaporizable material.
