1. An apparatus for use with a vaporizer having a mouthpiece, the apparatus comprising:
a lid for the vaporizer, wherein the lid comprises a locking mechanism configured to secure the lid to the vaporizer; and
a reservoir configured to hold a concentrate material, the reservoir having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end being configured to couple with the lid, the second end being at least partially sealed by a cover to form an enclosed space for holding the concentrate material, the cover comprising a single first aperture configured to allow an aerosol to exit from the reservoir;
wherein the reservoir is configured to be at least partially inserted within the vaporizer when the reservoir holds the concentrate material and is coupled to the lid; and
wherein the reservoir is configured to be heated by a heating element of the vaporizer positioned outside of the reservoir to form the aerosol by at least vaporizing the concentrate material held within the reservoir.
