1. A vaporizer device comprising:
a cartridge comprising:
a mouthpiece configured to deliver an aerosol comprising a vaporizable material to a user, the mouthpiece disposed at a first end of the cartridge;
a first electrical contact disposed at a second end of the cartridge opposite the first end;
a second electrical contact disposed at the second end;
a reservoir configured to contain the vaporizable material;
an atomizer configured to heat the vaporizable material;
a first cartridge air inlet disposed at the second end and adjacent to the first electrical contact; and
a second cartridge air inlet disposed at the second end and adjacent to the second electrical contact;
wherein the first cartridge air inlet and the second cartridge air inlet are configured to deliver air to the atomizer; and
a vaporizer body comprising:
a cartridge receiver configured to insertably receive the cartridge, the cartridge receiver comprising a base end;
a first base connector configured to engage with the first electrical contact, the first electrical contact disposed proximate to the base end when the cartridge is insertably received in the cartridge receiver;
a second base connector configured to engage with the second electrical contact, the first electrical contact disposed proximate to the base end when the cartridge is insertably received in the cartridge receiver;
a first body air inlet defining a first opening in a first side of the vaporizer body; and
a second body air inlet defining a second opening in a second side of the vaporizer body opposite the first side;
wherein the cartridge and the vaporizer body defines an air flow path comprising:
the first body air inlet and the second body air inlet;
a region between the second end of the cartridge and the base end of the cartridge receiver;
the first cartridge air inlet and the second cartridge air inlet; and
a cannula extending between the atomizer and the mouthpiece through the reservoir.
