1. An electronic vaporizing device comprising:
a vaporizing module comprising:
a housing defining an interior chamber having an upper interior chamber portion and a lower interior chamber portion;
a mouthpiece having an inhalation outlet in communication with the upper interior chamber portion;
a container configured to receive a vaporizable product within the lower interior chamber portion of the interior chamber, the container having one or more container sidewalls and a bottom wall, and the container having a longitudinal axis extending along a vertical direction of the electronic vaporizing device, and a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a heating element configured to be electrically connected to a power source to heat the product and form a vapor therefrom; and
a gas inlet configured to introduce a flow of gas into the container, the gas inlet comprising a first opening, a second opening, and a gas inlet conduit connecting the first opening to the second opening,
wherein the gas inlet is configured to direct the flow of gas (i) downwardly with a vertical angle of from 20° to 70° with respect to the horizontal axis, and towards an inner surface region of the container, and (ii) with a horizontal component of the flow having an angle of incidence that is within a range of from 5 to 60 degrees,
wherein the angle of incidence corresponds to the angle between the median of the horizontal component of the flow directed towards the inner surface region, with respect to an imaginary tangent line drawn through a point that intersects with the inner surface region, as measured in a horizontal plane taken at a vertical height of the container that contains the point of intersection,
wherein in an open state, an upper housing portion that at least partly defines the upper interior chamber portion is removed from a lower housing portion that at least partly defines the lower interior chamber portion, to provide access to the container, and in a closed state the upper housing portion is sealed to the lower housing portion, and
a base portion that is removably attachable to the vaporizing module, the base portion housing one or more components for electrically connecting to the power source to supply power to the heating element,
wherein the vaporizing module can be removed from the base portion while the vaporizing module is in the closed state, and
wherein in operation of the electronic vaporizing device, vaporizable product received in the container is heated by the heating element, becomes entrained in the flow of gas directed by the gas inlet into the container, and the flow of gas having the vaporized product entrained therein flows out of the container and through the upper portion interior chamber portion to flow out of the inhalation outlet of the mouthpiece.
