1. A method of volatizing a substance, the method comprising:
providing a volatizer comprising:
a body having a first end and a second end opposite and spaced from the first end, the first end comprising an open end accessible to a volatization chamber configured to retain a sample material therein containing target compounds for volatization, the second end of the body comprising a suction tip; and
a multi-functional cap formed of a hollow cylinder secured over the open end on the first end of the body, the cap including a thermo-indicator within the hollow cylinder configured to provide an indication upon heating of the cap to or within a preselected temperature range of optimal volatilization and extraction conditions for the target compounds from the sample material, wherein the cap has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the body and a number of spacers positioned on an interior surface of the cap that extend radially inwardly from the cap between the cap and the body to engage the body and define an airflow space between the cap and the body;
wherein the multi-functional cap comprises a closure of the volatization chamber, a heat exchanger, an indicator housing, an indicator protector, and a susceptor for reactivity in an induction field; and
applying an induction heat source to at least one of the body and the cap until the thermo-indicator provides an indication of the preselected temperature range of optimal volatilization and extraction conditions for the target compounds from the sample material.
