1. A hand-held inhalable vapor producing device comprising:
a plate that receives a liquid;
a thermal valve that controls delivery of the liquid to the plate, the thermal valve having a first conformation that prevents delivery of the liquid to the plate and a second conformation that enables delivery of the liquid to the plate; and
a heat source that applies heat to the thermal valve and the plate.
