Claim 16:
17. A composite wick for use in a vaporizer having a vaporizer body in which is disposed a vaporizable fluid reservoir and a vaporization chamber with a heating element at least partially disposed therein, the composite wick comprising:
a wick body terminating at upstream and downstream base surfaces, and being positionable within the vaporizer body so that the upstream base surface is in fluid communication with the vaporizable fluid reservoir and the downstream base surface is disposed within the vaporization chamber in opposition to a surface of the heating element, the wick body comprising:
a base wick material having a plurality of tortuous passages that collectively provide a capillary effect to draw vaporizable fluid from the vaporizable fluid reservoir and transport it toward the downstream base surface; and
at least one porous active material comprising a flavor-inducing element that is configured to add flavor to the vaporized fluid,

wherein the at least one porous active material has a release temperature at or above which the at least one porous active material releases an agent,
wherein the wick body comprises a release temperature region that is configured to be heated to at least the release temperature of the at least one porous active material by the heating element when the wick body is positioned within the vaporizer body and the heating element is activated, and
wherein a majority of the at least one porous active material is located within the release temperature region of the wick body.
