1. A device for generating an inhalable aerosol, comprising:
an electronic heater comprising,
an oven comprising an oven chamber, the oven chamber defined by a base and a wall extending from the base; and
a flexible heater circuit attached to the oven, wherein the flexible heater circuit is configured to heat as current is passed therethrough and conductively heat the oven and thereby heat a vaporizable material in the oven to generate the inhalable aerosol,
wherein the flexible heater circuit comprises a sheet material wrapped at least partially around the wall of the oven.
