Abstract

In some embodiments, a system includes a mouthpiece defining a mouthpiece opening, a reservoir configured to contain carrier material, a heating assembly including a heating element configured to apply heat to the carrier material, and a control assembly. The control assembly is configured to receive target temperature data based, at least in part, on an identity of the carrier material contained in the reservoir. The control assembly is further configured to, upon receiving an indication that a user is applying suction to the mouthpiece opening of the mouthpiece, apply a current to the heating element of the heating assembly such that a temperature of the carrier material disposed near the heating element rises to a predetermined temperature based on the target temperature data.
