a vaporizing chamber to receive a material and vaporizing means operatively coupled to the vaporizing chamber and operable to vaporize the material therein when activated, the vaporizing means being activatable when the head is in the operational position,
wherein the head is removable from the body, and the body comprises a docking portion and the head releasably engages the docking portion of the body in the operational position and the non-operational position, and wherein the docking portion comprises a docking bay that at least partially receives the head in the operational and non-operational positions,
wherein the mouthpiece portion of the head is received in the docking bay in the non-operational position, and the mouthpiece portion of the head extends away from the docking bay in the operational position, and the non-operational position of the head is axially reversed relative to the operational position.
