OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A vaporizer, comprising:
a housing;
a reaction chamber defined within the housing;
a reaction cartridge disposed within the housing and configured to contain a concentrate material for vaporization, the reaction cartridge including a substrate and a reaction cartridge insert configured to position the concentrate material such that the concentrate material is adjacent to the substrate during operation;
a laser diode disposed within the housing; and
a lens aligned with the laser diode such that, during operation, a laser beam generated by the laser diode is directed toward the reaction chamber to heat the concentrate material within the reaction chamber;
the vaporizer configured to receive electrical power via at least one of an internal battery or an external power source;
wherein the substrate is configured such that, during use, either capillary action or a plunger moves the concentrate material through or adjacent to the substrate toward a heat envelope;
wherein the substrate includes a microporous blackbody substrate.
