A closed bottom vaporizer pod prevents vaporizable material from exitingthe pod and entering into a heat source of a vaporizer. A closed bottomvaporizer podfurther reduces contamination and/or fouling of a vaporizer and comprises aclosedbottom capsule, at least one air inlet for drawing air into the closed bottomcapsule, andat least one air outlet for drawing air out of the closed bottom capsule. Anair flow pathis created from the at least one air inlet, the closed bottom capsule, and theair outletwhich prevents contamination of the vaporizer.
