Abstract
A heating element for a micro-vaporizer including a heating element, and a wetted surface or a fluid storing membrane that fit snuggly onto an outer surface of the heating element. Vaporization is achieved by applying a current through the heating element that is higher than an inherent power rating of the heating element to generate heat that vaporizes fluids supplied to the wetted surface or stored in the fluid storing membrane.
