     For purposes of the description hereinafter, the terms “end,” “upper,” “lower,” “right,” “left,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “lateral,” “longitudinal,” and derivatives thereof shall relate to the disclosure as it is oriented in the drawing figures. However, it is to be understood that the disclosure may assume various alternative variations and step sequences, except where expressly specified to the contrary. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary embodiments or aspects of the disclosure. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics related to the embodiments or aspects of the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting unless otherwise indicated. 
     No aspect, component, element, structure, act, step, function, instruction, and/or the like used herein should be construed as critical or essential unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the articles “a” and “an” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more” and “at least one.” Furthermore, as used herein, the term “set” is intended to include one or more items (e.g., related items, unrelated items, a combination of related and unrelated items, etc.) and may be used interchangeably with “one or more” or “at least one.” Where only one item is intended, the term “one” or similar language is used. Also, as used herein, the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms. Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based at least partially on” and “based at least in part on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, a vaporizer device may include a reservoir configured to contain an aerosolizable substance, the reservoir comprising a first opening and a second opening; a susceptor element coupled to the reservoir, the susceptor element positioned within the first opening of the reservoir, the susceptor element configured to be in contact with the aerosolizable substance; and a leakage prevention structure configured to transition the reservoir from a sealed state to an unsealed state. When the reservoir is in the unsealed state, the leakage prevention structure enables air to flow through the second opening. When the reservoir is in the sealed state, a vacuum is formed in the reservoir, and when the reservoir transitions from the sealed state to the unsealed state, the vacuum is released. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, a user may use a vaporizer device to heat an aerosolizable substance to produce an aerosol for inhalation. For example, the user may use the vaporizer device to heat the aerosolizable substance, and the heat may cause the aerosolizable substance to transition to an aerosol. The user may then draw in air from the vaporizer device (e.g., by breathing in on the mouthpiece of the vaporizer device) and inhale the aerosol. 
     However, the vaporizer device may not include a mechanism to prevent leakage of the aerosolizable substance from within the vaporizer device. For example, the aerosolizable substance may be a liquid that is able to flow out (e.g., leak) from a container, such as a reservoir within the vaporizer device (e.g., in which the liquid is stored) into one or more compartments of the vaporizer device. In this way, leakage of the aerosolizable substance may cause damage to and/or a malfunction of the vaporizer device. In some examples, the vaporizer device may include a cap (e.g., a lid) that encloses an opening of the container. However, the cap may have to be removed each time before the vaporizer device is to be used. In addition, the user may find it highly undesirable for any portion of the aerosolizable substance (e.g., in a non-aerosolized form) to be inhaled or ingested. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, the vaporizer device may include a filter, such as a mesh screen, that covers an opening of the container that holds the aerosolizable substance. If the aerosolizable substance is of a specific form that will not move through the filter, such as an herbal material, ingestion of the aerosolizable substance may be prevented. However, for other forms of aerosolizable substances that may move through the filter, such as liquids and/or waxes, use of the vaporizer device with or without the filter may result in the user ingesting the aerosolizable substance. 
     As described herein, a vaporizer device may include a reservoir configured to contain an aerosolizable substance, the reservoir comprising a first opening and a second opening, a susceptor element coupled to the reservoir, the susceptor element positioned within the first opening of the reservoir, the susceptor element configured to be in contact with the aerosolizable substance, and a leakage prevention structure configured to transition the reservoir from a sealed state to an unsealed state. In some non-limiting embodiments, when the reservoir is in the unsealed state, the leakage prevention structure enables air to flow through the second opening, when the reservoir is in the sealed state, a vacuum is formed in the reservoir, and when the reservoir transitions from the sealed state to the unsealed state, the vacuum is released. In some non-limiting embodiments, the leakage prevention structure includes a valve coupled to the reservoir. When the reservoir is in the sealed state, the valve is in a closed position and, when in the closed position, the valve prevents the aerosolizable substance from being transferred through the first opening of the reservoir. Additionally, when the reservoir is in the unsealed state, the valve is in an open position and, when in the open position, the valve enables the aerosolizable substance to be transferred through the first opening of the reservoir. In some non-limiting embodiments, the leakage prevention structure includes a secondary reservoir configured to receive the aerosolizable substance from the susceptor element and a duct comprising a first end portion, a second end portion, and a channel between the first end portion and the second end portion to allow air to flow within the channel, where the first end portion of the duct is positioned within the reservoir and the second end portion of the duct is positioned within the secondary reservoir. When an amount of aerosolizable substance included in the secondary reservoir is at a predetermined amount, the reservoir is in the sealed state. Additionally, when the amount of aerosolizable substance included in the secondary reservoir is not at the predetermined amount, the reservoir is in the unsealed state. 
     In this way, the leakage prevention structure may prevent any portion of the aerosolizable substance from being inhaled or ingested by a user. In addition, the leakage prevention structure may prevent damage to and/or a malfunction of the vaporizer device without requiring the use of a cap that can impede a user&#39;s enjoyment of the vaporizer device.

In one example, control device  110  is configured to control an amount of heat provided by a susceptor element (e.g., susceptor element  158 ) to an aerosolizable substance in contact with susceptor element  158  based on a magnetic field associated with inductor element  120  (e.g., a magnetic field produced by inductor element  120 ). In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  includes a computing device, such as a computer, a processor, a microprocessor, a controller, and/or the like. In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  includes one or more electrical circuits that provide power conditioning for power provided by power source  130 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, inductor element  120  may include one or more electrical components and/or one or more devices capable of providing electromagnetic energy to susceptor element  158  and/or receiving electromagnetic energy from susceptor element  158 . For example, inductor element  120  may include an induction coil, such as a planar or pancake inductor, or a spiral inductor. In some non-limiting embodiments, inductor element  120  is configured to provide electromagnetic energy (e.g., in the form of a magnetic field, such as a magnetic induction field, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, etc.) to a susceptor element to cause the susceptor element  158  to generate heat based on receiving the electromagnetic energy. In some non-limiting embodiments, inductor element  120  has a size and configuration (e.g., a design) based on the application for which inductor element  120  is applied.

In some non-limiting embodiments, power source  130  is configured to provide power to one or more other components of vaporizer device  100 . In some non-limiting embodiments, power source  130  includes one or more electrical circuits that provide power conditioning for power provided by power source  130 .

     In some non-limiting embodiments, first housing section  162   a  may surround (e.g., entirely surround, partially surround, surround at least a portion of, etc.) the components of vaporizer device  100  included in first portion  150 . In some non-limiting embodiments, second portion  151  of vaporizer device  100  may include control device  110 , inductor element  120 , and/or power source  130  that are surrounded by second housing section  162   b.    
     In some non-limiting embodiments, reservoir  152  may be configured to hold an aerosolizable substance (e.g., aerosolizable substance  178  shown in  FIG. 3 ). In some non-limiting embodiments, reservoir  152  may include first opening  154  and second opening  156 . For example, reservoir  152  may include first opening  154  that is configured to couple to at least a portion of susceptor element  158 . In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  158  may be configured to transfer at least a portion of an aerosolizable substance from reservoir  152  through first opening  154  via a capillary action of susceptor element  158 . In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be coupled to (e.g., attached to reservoir  152 ) to cover second opening  156 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be configured to control the flow of air (e.g., airflow) into and/or out of reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, reservoir  152  may be configured to hold an aerosolizable substance that is a liquid (e.g., a viscous substance). In some non-limiting embodiments, secondary reservoir  192  may be positioned opposite first opening of reservoir  152 . For example, secondary reservoir  192  may be positioned opposite first opening  154  of reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, secondary reservoir  192  may include susceptor element  158  (e.g., at least a portion of susceptor element  158 ) positioned in secondary reservoir  192 . In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  and secondary reservoir  192  may define one or more additional openings that enable air to flow along susceptor element  158 . For example, housing  162  and secondary reservoir  192  may define one or more additional openings that enables air to flow along susceptor element  158  and then through third opening  164  of housing  162 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  158  may be constructed of a combination of materials and configured to be in contact with an aerosolizable substance to achieve an appropriate effect. For example, susceptor element  158  may be an interwoven cloth (or otherwise intimately mixed combination) of fine induction heating wires, strands, and/or threads with wicking wires, strands, and/or threads. Additionally or alternatively, susceptor element  158  may include materials that are combined in the form of a rope or foam, or suitably deployed thin sheets of material. In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  158  may include rolled up alternating foils of material. Additionally or alternatively, susceptor element  158  may be surrounded (e.g., partially, completely, etc.) by inductor element  120 , which may not necessarily be in contact with susceptor element  158 . In some non-limiting embodiments, as susceptor element  158  may include a mesh wick, the mesh wick may be constructed of a material that is efficiently heated by induction (e.g., a FeCrAl alloy or ferritic stainless steel alloy). In some non-limiting embodiments, the mesh wick may be formed using a Kanthal mesh. Additionally or alternatively, susceptor element  158  may be removable from first portion  150  of vaporizer device  100  so that susceptor element  158  may be able to be cleaned, reused, and/or replaced separate from first portion  150  of vaporizer device  100 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  160  may include one or more components that prevent an aerosolizable substance from flowing out of (e.g., leaking, leaving, etc.) reservoir  152  of vaporizer device  100  in a non-aerosolized form and moving into other areas of vaporizer device  100 . For example, leakage prevention structure  160  may include valve  174 . In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  160  may include valve  174  and a device to cause valve  174  to transition reservoir  152  from a sealed state to an unsealed state. For example, leakage prevention structure  160  may include valve  174  and actuator  182 . In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  160  may include valve  174  and/or other components (e.g., actuator  182 , temperature sensor  184 , heating element  186 , pressure sensor  188 , and/or pressure sensor  190 ) of vaporizer device  100  that function with control device  110  (e.g., provide data associated with a measurement of a sensor to control device  110 , receive a control signal from control device  110 , perform an operation based on a control signal from control device  110 , etc.) to operate with valve  174  to prevent the aerosolizable substance from flowing out of reservoir  152  of vaporizer device  100  in a non-aerosolized form. In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  160  may include valve  174 , where valve  174  is coupled to reservoir  152  (e.g., at least a portion of reservoir  152 ). In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may include a flexible membrane. For example, valve  174  may include or may be constructed from a suitable grade of silicone rubber. In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may include a hydrophobic material. For example, valve  174  may be coated with a hydrophobic material. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  160  may be configured to transition reservoir  152  between a sealed state to an unsealed state. For example, valve  174  may be coupled to reservoir  152  and when the reservoir  152  is in the sealed state, valve  174  is in a closed position. When in the closed position, valve  174  may prevent the aerosolizable substance from being transferred through opening  154  of reservoir  152 . When reservoir  152  is in the unsealed state, valve  174  is in an open position. When in the open position, valve  174  enables the aerosolizable substance to be transferred through opening  154  of reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, when leakage prevention structure  160  transitions reservoir  152  from the sealed state to the unsealed state, a vacuum in reservoir  152  may be released and a flow of air through second opening  156  of reservoir  152  may be enabled. In some non-limiting embodiments, when leakage prevention structure  160  transitions reservoir  152  from the unsealed state to the sealed state, the vacuum may be formed in reservoir  152 , and the flow of air through second opening  156  of reservoir  152  may be disabled. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  (e.g., first housing section  162   a  and/or second housing section  162   b ) may be replaceable to allow a user to customize a particular appearance of vaporizer device  100 . In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  may surround reservoir  152  (e.g., at least a portion of reservoir  152 ). In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  may include channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, air that flows through channel  170  of housing  162  may cause leakage prevention structure  160  (e.g., valve  174  of leakage prevention structure  160 ) to transition to an open position, thereby transitioning reservoir  152  from the sealed state to the unsealed state. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  may include fifth opening  168 . For example, housing  162  may include fifth opening  168  that enables air to flow from an environment outside housing  162  into channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, fifth opening  168  enables air to flow from an environment outside housing  162  into reservoir  152 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  may be constructed from any suitable material such as wood, metal, fiberglass, plastic, and/or the like. In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  162  may include mouthpiece component  180 . For example, housing  162  may include mouthpiece component  180 , where mouthpiece component  180  is interchangeable. In such an example, variants of mouthpiece component  180  may be designed such that mouthpiece component  180  may restrict airflow to reproduce the pulling sensation (e.g., similar to the sensation users may prefer and/or be familiar with in respect to smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc.). In some non-limiting embodiments, mouthpiece component  180  may be associated with (e.g., coupled to, integrally formed with, etc.) first housing section  162   a  of vaporizer device  100 . For example, mouthpiece component  180  may be associated with first housing section  162   a  of vaporizer device  100  and mouthpiece component  180  may be configured to enable air to flow from fourth opening  166  of housing  162  to an area outside of vaporizer device  100 . In some non-limiting embodiments, mouthpiece component  180  may be positioned adjacent to fourth opening  166  of housing  162 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, channel  170  may extend through first portion  150  and/or second portion  151  of housing  162 . In some non-limiting embodiments, channel  170  may extend between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  to enable airflow through channel  170  between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162 . Channel  170  may be defined within housing  162  that connects third opening  164  and fourth opening  166 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, first housing section  162   a  and reservoir  152  (e.g., at least a portion of reservoir  152 ) may define channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, second housing section  162   b  and reservoir  152  (e.g., at least a portion of reservoir  152 ) may define channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, channel  170  may include a non-linear channel. For example, channel  170  may include a plurality of cross-sectional areas that vary (e.g., that increase and/or decrease by between up to 20% between the smallest cross-sectional area and the largest cross-sectional area) along channel  170 . In such an example, portions of channel  170  that have wider cross-sectional areas than other portions of channel  170  that have less-wide cross-sectional areas may have drops of aerosolized material (e.g., aerosolizable substance that has been aerosolized) that condensate and/or aggregate in the portions of channel  170  that have wider cross-sectional areas than other portions of channel  170 . In this example, the drops of aerosolized material may collect and enter an orifice (e.g., orifice  472  as shown in  FIG. 4 ) and the drops may be absorbed by an absorbent material (e.g., absorbent material  476  shown in  FIG. 4 ), such as cotton, wool, and/or the like. In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174 , temperature sensor  184 , pressure sensor  188 , and/or pressure sensor  190  may be positioned within channel  170 . For example, valve  174 , temperature sensor  184 , pressure sensor  188 , and/or pressure sensor  190  may be positioned entirely within or at least partially within channel  170 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause leakage prevention structure  160  to transition to an open position. For example, the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause pressure within channel  170  to decrease. In such an example, the pressure within channel  170  may decrease based on suction generated at fourth opening  166  (e.g., at mouthpiece component  180  that is adjacent fourth opening  166 ). In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  160  may be configured to transition to the open position based on the decrease of pressure within channel  170 . Additionally or alternatively, the cessation of the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause leakage prevention structure  160  to transition to the closed position. For example, the cessation of the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause pressure within channel  170  to increase. In such an example, leakage prevention structure  160  may be configured to transition to the closed position based on the increase of pressure within channel  170 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be configured to control the flow of air into reservoir  152  (e.g., by sealing reservoir  152  or by unsealing reservoir  152 ) during operation of vaporizer device  100 . For example, valve  174  may include a flexible material that is configured to control the flow of air into reservoir  152  during operation of vaporizer device  100 . In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be sized and/or configured to fit over (e.g., to cover) second opening  156  of reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be sized and/or configured to fit over fifth opening  168  of housing  162 . For example, valve  174  may be sized and/or configured to fit over fifth opening  168  of housing  162 . In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be configured to control the flow of air between fifth opening  168  of housing  162  and second opening  156  of reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, when valve  174  is in the closed position, reservoir  152  may be in the sealed state and valve  174  may prevent the aerosolizable substance included in reservoir  152  from being transferred through first opening  154  of reservoir  152 . Additionally or alternatively, when valve  174  is in the open position, reservoir  152  may be in the unsealed state and valve  174  may enable the aerosolizable substance included in reservoir  152  to be transferred through first opening  154  of reservoir  152 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, actuator  182  is configured to cause valve  174  to transition between a closed position and an open position. In some non-limiting embodiments, actuator  182  may include a bimetallic strip that is configured to cause valve  174  to transition between the closed position and the open position based on the bimetallic strip receiving energy (e.g., energy in the form of heat, energy in the form of an electrical current, etc.) from one or more components of vaporizer device  100 . For example, actuator  182  may include a bimetallic strip that is configured to cause valve  174  to transition between the closed position and the open position based on the bimetallic strip receiving energy from power source  130  based on a control signal from control device  110 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, temperature sensor  184  may include one or more devices configured to obtain data associated with a temperature. For example, temperature sensor  184  may include a thermocouple, a silicon sensor chip, an infrared thermometer, and/or the like. In some non-limiting embodiments, temperature sensor  184  may be configured to obtain data associated with a temperature within channel  170 . For example, temperature sensor  184  may be positioned within channel  170  (e.g., entirely within, at least partially within, etc.). 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, pressure sensor  188  and/or pressure sensor  190  may include one or more devices configured to obtain data associated with a pressure at a location associated with vaporizer device  100 . For example, pressure sensor  188  and/or pressure sensor  190  may include an aneroid barometer sensor, a manometer sensor, a Bourdon tube pressure sensor, a vacuum pressure sensor, a sealed pressure sensor, and/or the like. In some non-limiting embodiments, pressure sensor  188  may be configured to obtain data associated with a pressure within channel  170 . For example, pressure sensor  188  may be positioned within channel  170  (e.g., entirely within, at least partially within, etc.). In some non-limiting embodiments, pressure sensor  190  may be configured to obtain data associated with a pressure outside vaporizer device  100 . For example, pressure sensor  190  may be positioned outside vaporizer device  100  (e.g., entirely outside, at least partially outside, etc.). In some non-limiting embodiments, pressure sensor  190  may be positioned along an exterior surface of housing  162  and/or pressure sensor  190  may be at least partially included in housing  162 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control valve  174 . For example, control device  110  may control valve  174  to transition between the open position and the closed position. In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control actuator  182 . For example, control device  110  may control actuator  182  to transition valve  174  between the open position and the closed position. In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control actuator  182  to transition valve  174  between the open position and the closed position based on the data associated with the temperature inside channel  170 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, when an amount of pressure within channel  170  satisfies a pressure threshold associated with the unsealed state of reservoir  152 , leakage prevention structure  160  (e.g., valve  174  of leakage prevention structure  160 ) may be configured to transition from the closed position to the open position based on the amount of pressure within channel  170 . Additionally or alternatively, when the amount of pressure within channel  170  does not satisfy the pressure threshold associated with the unsealed state of reservoir  152 , leakage prevention structure  160  may be configured to transition from the open position to the closed position based on the amount of pressure within channel  170 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may determine whether an amount of pressure within channel  170  satisfies a pressure threshold. For example, control device  110  may determine whether an amount of pressure within channel  170  satisfies a pressure threshold associated with the unsealed state of reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may cause leakage prevention structure  160  (e.g., valve  174  of leakage prevention structure  160 ) to transition to the open position or to the closed position based on determining whether pressure within channel  170  satisfies the pressure threshold associated with the unsealed state of reservoir  152 . Additionally or alternatively, control device  110  may cause valve  174  to transition to the open position or to the closed position based on determining whether pressure within channel  170  satisfies the pressure threshold associated with the sealed state of reservoir  152 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may receive data associated with an amount of pressure within channel  170 . For example, control device  110  may receive data associated with an amount of pressure within channel  170  from pressure sensor  188  positioned within channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may receive data associated with an amount of pressure outside vaporizer device  100 . For example, control device  110  may receive data associated with an amount of pressure outside vaporizer device  100  from pressure sensor  190  positioned outside vaporizer device  100 . In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may determine a difference between the pressure within channel  170  and the pressure outside vaporizer device  100 . In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may cause valve  174  to transition to the open position or the closed position based on the difference between the pressure within channel  170  and the pressure outside vaporizer device  100 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, an amount of the aerosolizable substance transferred from reservoir  152  via susceptor element  158  to an area outside of reservoir  152  may be determined at least in part based on a pressure inside reservoir  152 . The pressure inside reservoir  152  may be associated with the position of valve  174  coupled to reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, the amount of the aerosolizable substance transferred from reservoir  152  via susceptor element  158  may increase when the pressure inside reservoir  152  increases (e.g., when valve  174  is in and/or transitions to the open position). Additionally or alternatively, the amount of the aerosolizable substance transferred from reservoir  152  via susceptor element  158  may decrease when the pressure inside reservoir  152  decreases (e.g., when valve  174  is in the closed position and/or transitions to the closed position). 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may receive data associated with the temperature inside channel  170 . For example, control device  110  may receive data associated with the temperature inside channel  170 , and control device  110  may determine whether the temperature inside channel  170  has increased or decreased. In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may determine whether the temperature inside channel  170  has increased at a predetermined rate (e.g., a predetermined rate associated with the generation of suction at mouthpiece component  180 ). In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may cause heating element  186  to generate thermal energy. For example, control device  110  may cause heating element  186  to generate thermal energy based on control device  110  determining that the temperature inside channel  170  has increased at the predetermined rate. In such an example, actuator  182  may be configured to transition to the open position based on heating element  186  generating thermal energy. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may receive data associated with the temperature inside channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may determine whether a temperature inside channel  170  has increased at a predetermined rate. For example, control device  110  may determine whether a temperature inside channel  170  has increased at a predetermined rate during a time (e.g., during a period of time). In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may cause heating element  186  to generate thermal energy based on determining that the temperature inside channel  170  has increased at the predetermined rate. Additionally or alternatively, control device  110  may forego causing heating element  186  to generate thermal energy based on determining that the temperature inside channel  170  has not increased at the predetermined rate. In some non-limiting embodiments, valve  174  may be configured to transition to the closed position based on heating element  186  foregoing generating thermal energy. Additionally or alternatively, valve  174  may be configured to transition to the open position based on heating element  186  generating thermal energy. In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control susceptor element  158  to generate thermal energy to transition reservoir  152  between the sealed state and the unsealed state. 
       FIGS. 3A and 3B  are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the operation of vaporizer device  100  based on components shown in first portion  150  of vaporizer device  100 . As shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B , vaporizer device  100  may include aerosolizable substance  178  in reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, to use vaporizer device  100 , a user may generate suction at fourth opening  166 . The suction may cause air to flow through channel  170 . As shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B , airflow is represented by arrows in bold. As further shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B , the air may flow through channel  170  and the air may pass along at least a portion of susceptor element  158  and the air may carry an aerosol that is generated based on susceptor element  158  heating aerosolizable substance  178  in reservoir  152 . In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  158  may generate heat based on the electromagnetic energy that is absorbed and/or provide heat to aerosolizable substance  178  that is in thermal contact with at least a portion of susceptor element  158 . In some non-limiting embodiments, a user may generate suction at fourth opening  166  of housing  162  and cause air to flow along at least a portion of susceptor element  158  and through third opening  164  of housing  162 . In some non-limiting embodiments, the air may flow from third opening  164  of housing  162  through channel  170  and through fourth opening  166 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  that is in thermal contact (e.g., in physical contact with so that thermal energy can be transferred) with at least a portion of susceptor element  158  may be aerosolized based on receiving heat from susceptor element  158 . In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  that is aerosolized may be transported via the air flowing from third opening  164  of housing  162  through channel  170  and through fourth opening  166 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 3A , when reservoir  152  is in the sealed state, valve  174  may be in a closed position. In some non-limiting embodiments, when in the closed position, valve  174  may prevent aerosolizable substance  178  from being transferred through opening  154  of reservoir  152 . As shown in  FIG. 3B , when reservoir  152  is in the unsealed state, valve  174  may be in an open position. In some non-limiting embodiments, when in the open position, valve  174  enables aerosolizable substance  178  to be transferred through opening  154  of reservoir  152 . 
     As further shown in  FIG. 3A , the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause leakage prevention structure  160  to transition to an open position. For example, the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause pressure within channel  170  to decrease. In such an example, aerosolizable substance  178  may be allowed to be transferred through opening  154  of reservoir  152  via susceptor element  158  toward secondary reservoir  192 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 3B , a cessation of the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause leakage prevention structure  160  to transition to the closed position. For example, the cessation of the flow of air between third opening  164  and fourth opening  166  of housing  162  may cause pressure within channel  170  to increase. In such an example, leakage prevention structure  160  may be configured to transition to the closed position based on the increase of pressure within channel  170 . In some non-limiting embodiments, when leakage prevention structure  160  transitions reservoir  152  from the unsealed state to the sealed state, the vacuum may be formed in reservoir  152 , and the flow of air through second opening  156  of reservoir  152  may be disabled. In such an example, aerosolizable substance  178  may be prevented from being transferred through opening  154  of reservoir  152  via susceptor element  158  toward secondary reservoir  192 .

Susceptor element  558  may be configured to transfer the aerosolizable substance from reservoir  552  through first opening  554  via a capillary action of susceptor element  558 . In some non-limiting embodiments, reservoir  552  may be configured to hold an aerosolizable substance that is a liquid. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  560  may include one or more components that cooperate to prevent aerosolizable substances from leaving vaporizer device  500  in a non-aerosolized form and, as a result, by being ingested by a user associated with (e.g., operating) vaporizer device  500 . In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  560  may be configured to transition reservoir  552  between a sealed state to an unsealed state. For example, when leakage prevention structure  560  transitions reservoir  552  from the sealed state to the unsealed state, a vacuum associated with reservoir  552  may be released and a flow of air through second opening  556  of reservoir  552  may be enabled. Additionally or alternatively, when leakage prevention structure  560  transitions reservoir  552  from the unsealed state to the sealed state, a vacuum associated with reservoir  552  may be formed in reservoir  552 , and the flow of air through second opening  556  of reservoir  552  may be disabled. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, when an amount of aerosolizable substance included in secondary reservoir  592  is at a predetermined amount, reservoir  552  may be in a sealed state. Additionally or alternatively, when an amount of aerosolizable substance included in secondary reservoir  592  is not at the predetermined amount, reservoir  552  may be in an unsealed state. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, leakage prevention structure  560  may include duct  594 . For example, leakage prevention structure  560  may include duct  594  positioned within and extending through first opening  554  of reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, duct  594  may be configured to control airflow and/or seal off reservoir  552  in conjunction with aerosolizable substance located in secondary reservoir  592  during operation of vaporizer device  500 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, duct  594  may be positioned within first opening  554  and an opening of first end portion  596  of duct  594  may constitute second opening  556  of reservoir  552 .

     In some non-limiting embodiments, secondary reservoir  592  may be positioned opposite first opening  554  of reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, at least a portion of susceptor element  558  may be positioned within secondary reservoir  592 . In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  562  and secondary reservoir  592  may define one or more openings that enable air to flow along susceptor element  558  and then through third opening  564  of housing  562 . Susceptor element  558  may be configured to generate thermal energy (e.g., heat), the thermal energy may causes an amount of the aerosolizable substance associated with (e.g., in contact with) susceptor element  558  to be aerosolized, and, when aerosolizing the aerosolizable substance, susceptor element  558  absorbs the aerosolizable substance from secondary reservoir  592 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, duct  594  may include first end portion  596 , second end portion  598 , and a channel between first end portion  596  and second end portion  598 . In such an example, the channel may allow air to flow within duct  594 . In some non-limiting embodiments, first end portion  596  of duct  594  may be positioned within reservoir  552 . For example, first end portion  596  of duct  594  may extend through second opening  556  of reservoir  552 . In such an example, the channel of duct  594  may include first opening  554  of reservoir  552 . Additionally or alternatively, second end portion  598  of duct  594  may be positioned within secondary reservoir  592 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, duct  594  (e.g., at least a portion of duct  594 ) extends through first opening  554  of the reservoir. In some non-limiting embodiments, an opening at first end portion  596  of duct  594  defines first opening  554  of reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  558  may be positioned coaxially with regard to duct  594 . For example, susceptor element  558  may be positioned within and extend through first opening  554  of reservoir  552 , such that susceptor element  558  is within first opening  554  and surrounding duct  594 . In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  558  may be positioned between the portion of duct  594  that extends through first opening  554  of reservoir  552  and first opening  554  of reservoir  552 . For example, susceptor element  558  may be positioned between a face of reservoir  552  that defines first opening  554  of reservoir  552  and duct  594 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  562  may include first housing section  562   a  and second housing section  562   b . For example, housing  562  may be sized and/or configured to surround the components of vaporizer device  500 , as described above. In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  562  may include fifth opening  568 . For example, housing  562  may include fifth opening  568  that enables air to flow from an environment outside housing  562  into channel  570 .

In some non-limiting embodiments, housing  562  may include mouthpiece component  180 . For example, housing  562  may include mouthpiece component  180 , where mouthpiece component  180  is interchangeable. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, vaporizer device  500  may include channel  570  extending through first portion  550  and/or second portion  551  of housing  562 . As shown in  FIG. 5 , channel  570  may extend between third opening  564  and fourth opening  566  of housing  562  to enable airflow through channel  570  between third opening  564  and fourth opening  566  of housing  562 . Channel  570  may be defined within housing  562  that connects third opening  564  and fourth opening  566 . In some non-limiting embodiments, first housing section  562   a  and/or second housing section  562   b  may cooperate with at least a portion of reservoir  552  to define channel  570 . In some non-limiting embodiments, channel  570  may include a non-linear channel, as described herein. In some non-limiting embodiments, channel  570  may include temperature sensor  184 , pressure sensor  188 , and/or pressure sensor  190 . For example, temperature sensor  184 , pressure sensor  188 , and/or pressure sensor  190  may be positioned within (e.g., entirely within, at least partially within, etc.) channel  570 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control susceptor element  558  to generate thermal energy to transition reservoir  552  between the sealed state and the unsealed state. For example, control device  110  may cause susceptor element  558  to generate heat to aerosolize the aerosolizable substance in secondary reservoir  592 . When a predetermined amount of the aerosolizable substance in secondary reservoir  592  has been aerosolized, second end portion  598  of duct  594  may be open and air may flow through duct  594  and into reservoir  552 . When air flows into reservoir  552  through duct  594 , reservoir  552  may transition between the sealed state and the unsealed state. 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, temperature sensor  184  may be configured to obtain data associated with a temperature within channel  570 . For example, temperature sensor  184  may be positioned within (e.g., entirely within, at least partially within, etc.) channel  570 . In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control susceptor element  558  to generate thermal energy to transition reservoir  552  between the sealed state and the unsealed state based on data associated with a temperature within channel  570 . For example, control device  110  may control susceptor element  558  to generate thermal energy to transition reservoir  552  between the sealed state and the unsealed state based on data associated with the temperature received from temperature sensor  184 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, pressure sensor  188  may be positioned within channel  570  and pressure sensor  188  may be configured to obtain data associated with a pressure within channel  570 . In some non-limiting embodiments, pressure sensor  190  may be positioned outside vaporizer device  500  and pressure sensor  190  may be configured to obtain data associated with a pressure outside vaporizer device  500 . For example, pressure sensor  190  may be positioned along an exterior surface of housing  562  and/or pressure sensor  190  may be at least partially included in housing  562 . In such an example, pressure sensor  190  may be configured to obtain data associated with a pressure outside vaporizer device  500 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, control device  110  may control susceptor element  558  to generate thermal energy to transition reservoir  552  between the sealed state and the unsealed state based on data associated with a pressure within channel  570  and/or data associated with a pressure outside channel  570 . For example, control device  110  may control susceptor element  558  to generate thermal energy to transition reservoir  552  between the sealed state and the unsealed state based on data associated with the pressure received from pressure sensor  188  and/or pressure sensor  190 . 
       FIGS. 6A-6D  are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the operation of vaporizer device  500  based on components shown in first portion  550  of vaporizer device  500 . As shown in  FIGS. 6A-6D , vaporizer device  500  may include aerosolizable substance  178  in reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred (e.g., may flow) from reservoir  552  through first opening  554  of reservoir  552  to secondary reservoir  592 . For example, aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred from reservoir  552  through first opening  554  of reservoir  552  via susceptor element  558  to secondary reservoir  592 . In such an example, aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred from reservoir  552  to secondary reservoir  592  when a pressure inside reservoir  552  is greater than or equal to a pressure outside of reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, an amount of aerosolizable substance  178  may be included in secondary reservoir  592 . For example, an amount of aerosolizable substance  578  may be transferred from reservoir  552  to secondary reservoir  592 . 
     As further shown in  FIG. 6B , the amount of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  may prevent the flow of air into reservoir  552 . For example, the amount of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  may prevent the flow of air into reservoir  552  when second end portion  598  of duct  594  is submerged in aerosolizable substance  178 . In some non-limiting embodiments, when second end portion  598  of duct  594  is submerged in aerosolizable substance  178  the flow of air through duct  594  may be prevented. For example, when second end portion  598  of duct  594  is submerged in aerosolizable substance  178  the flow of air through duct  594  may be prevented and a vacuum may form in reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, once the vacuum forms in reservoir  552  the remaining portion of aerosolizable substance  178  may be retained in reservoir  552 . 
     As further shown in  FIG. 6C , susceptor element  558  may generate heat. For example, susceptor element  558  may generate heat and susceptor element  558  may cause aerosolizable substance  178  included in susceptor element  558  to be aerosolized. In some non-limiting embodiments, the aerosolizable substance  178  that is aerosolized by susceptor element  558  may be carried away from susceptor element  558  via an air flow. In some non-limiting embodiments, the pressure inside reservoir  552  may decrease based on the aerosolizable substance  178  that is aerosolized by susceptor element  558  being carried away from susceptor element  558  via the flow of air across susceptor element  558 . In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  that is included in secondary reservoir  592  may be absorbed by susceptor element  558 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 6D , duct  594  may enable air to flow through second opening  556  of reservoir  552 . For example, duct  594  may enable air to flow through second opening  556  of reservoir  552  when an amount of aerosolized substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  is not at a predetermined amount. In some non-limiting embodiments, when the amount of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  is equal to or less than the predetermined amount, air may flow from second end portion  598  of duct  594  to first end portion  596  of duct  594 . In some non-limiting embodiments, as air flows from second end portion  598  of duct  594  to first end portion  596  of duct  594 , the pressure inside reservoir  552  may increase. 
       FIG. 7  is a diagram of vaporizer device  500 . It is noted that all components of vaporizer device  500  shown in  FIG. 5  are not required in each and every embodiment but the components of vaporizer device  500  are shown in  FIG. 5  for purposes of complete illustration. For example, as shown in  FIG. 7 , susceptor element  558  and duct  594  may both extend through first opening  554  of reservoir  552 . 
     As further shown in  FIG. 7 , first portion  550  of vaporizer device  500  includes reservoir  552 , duct  594 , susceptor element  558 , and secondary reservoir  592 . In some non-limiting embodiments, vaporizer device  500  may include aerosolizable substance  178  in reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred (e.g., may flow) through first opening  554  of reservoir  552  to secondary reservoir  592 . For example, aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred through first opening  554  of reservoir  552  to secondary reservoir  592  via susceptor element  558 . In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred from reservoir  552  to secondary reservoir  592  via susceptor element  558  when a pressure inside reservoir  552  is greater than or equal to a pressure outside of reservoir  552 , and aerosolizable substance  178  may be included in secondary reservoir  592 . In such an example, an amount of aerosolizable substance  178  may be transferred to secondary reservoir  592  to prevent the flow of air through second portion  598  of duct  594 . 
     As further shown in  FIG. 7 , the amount of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  may prevent the flow of air through second end portion  598  of duct  594  to first end portion  596  of duct  594 . For example, the amount of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  may prevent the flow of air through second end portion  598  of duct  594  to first end portion  596  of duct  594 , thereby causing a vacuum to form in reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, when the vacuum forms in reservoir  552  the remaining portion of aerosolizable substance  178  may be retained in reservoir  552 . In some non-limiting embodiments, first end portion  596  and/or second end portion  598  of duct  594  may include a tapered shape. In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  558  may be positioned coaxially with regard to duct  594 , where second end portion  598  of duct  594  comprises a tapered edge shape, and an end portion of susceptor element  558  comprises a tapered edge shape that corresponds to the tapered edge shape of second end portion  598  of duct  594 . 
     In some non-limiting embodiments, susceptor element  558  may generate heat causing aerosolizable substance  178  included in susceptor element  558  to be aerosolized. For example, as susceptor element  558  generates heat and causes aerosolizable substance  178  to be aerosolized, and the aerosolizable substance  178  that is aerosolized may be carried away from susceptor element  558  via an air flow. In some non-limiting embodiments, the pressure inside reservoir  552  may decrease based on aerosolizable substance  178  to be aerosolized. In some non-limiting embodiments, aerosolizable substance  178  that is included in secondary reservoir  592  may be absorbed by susceptor element  558 . For example, aerosolizable substance  178  that is included in secondary reservoir  592  may be absorbed by susceptor element  558  and carried away from susceptor element  558  via the air flow. In some non-limiting embodiments, as aerosolizable substance  178  is carried away from susceptor element  558  via the air flow, duct  594  may enable air to flow through first opening  554  of reservoir  552  based on the absorption of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592 . For example, when an amount of aerosolizable substance  178  included in secondary reservoir  592  is equal to or less than a predetermined amount, air may flow from second end portion  598  through duct  594  to first end portion  596  of duct  594 . In this example, the pressure inside reservoir  552  may increase.
