A cartridge for a vaporizer device, the cartridge comprising: a reservoir housing being configured to hold a vaporizable material; an airflow tube extending through the reservoir housing, the airflow tube defining a passageway extending therethrough, at least a portion of the airflow tube being permeable to the vaporizable material, the permeable portion of the airflow tube being configured to draw the vaporizable material from the reservoir housing into the airflow tube for vaporization; and a folded mesh that is formed from an unfolded mesh having a predetermined length and an electrical resistance suitable for heating, wherein the folding of the unfolded mesh into the folded mesh including a plurality of folds results in a decrease of the length of the unfolded mesh and an increase of the width of the unfolded mesh, wherein the folded mesh is disposed within the airflow tube, the folded mesh having a capillary path and an electrical path such that the folded mesh is configured to draw vaporizable material from the reservoir housing and vaporize at least a portion of the drawn vaporizable material into vaporized material, wherein the folded mesh is configured to change from a deactivated state to an activated state in response to receiving an electric current, and when in the activated state, the folded mesh is configured to generate an amount of heat that is sufficient to vaporize the at least a portion of the drawn vaporizable material into vaporized material characterized in that the capillary path extends along a width (W M) of the folded mesh, the width (W M) extending between adjacent folds of the plurality of folds, and wherein the electrical path extends along a length (L M) of the folded mesh, the length (L M) extending from a first end to an opposing second end of the folded mesh. a reservoir housing being configured to hold a vaporizable material; an airflow tube extending through the reservoir housing, the airflow tube defining a passageway extending therethrough, at least a portion of the airflow tube being permeable to the vaporizable material, the permeable portion of the airflow tube being configured to draw the vaporizable material from the reservoir housing into the airflow tube for vaporization; and a folded mesh that is formed from an unfolded mesh having a predetermined length and an electrical resistance suitable for heating, wherein the folding of the unfolded mesh into the folded mesh including a plurality of folds results in a decrease of the length of the unfolded mesh and an increase of the width of the unfolded mesh, wherein the folded mesh is disposed within the airflow tube, the folded mesh having a capillary path and an electrical path such that the folded mesh is configured to draw vaporizable material from the reservoir housing and vaporize at least a portion of the drawn vaporizable material into vaporized material, wherein the folded mesh is configured to change from a deactivated state to an activated state in response to receiving an electric current, and when in the activated state, the folded mesh is configured to generate an amount of heat that is sufficient to vaporize the at least a portion of the drawn vaporizable material into vaporized material characterized in that the capillary path extends along a width (W M) of the folded mesh, the width (W M) extending between adjacent folds of the plurality of folds, and wherein the electrical path extends along a length (L M) of the folded mesh, the length (L M) extending from a first end to an opposing second end of the folded mesh.
