A method of regulating a temperature within a vaporizer heating assembly includes providing a vaporizer heating assembly that includes a vapor inhalation device shaped to contain a vapor and deliver the vapor to a users mouth without expelling the vapor into the atmosphere, an airflow chamber mechanically coupled to the vapor inhalation device, a heating chamber disposed within the airflow chamber, a fan in fluid communication with an air passageway defined by an interior surface of the airflow chamber and an exterior surface of the heating chamber, a temperature probe disposed proximate, but not in direct physical contact with the airflow chamber, and a temperature controller thermally coupled to the temperature probe and communicatively coupled to the heating chamber, the temperature controller operable to control a temperature output of the heating chamber in response to temperature information received from the temperature probe. The method further includes the steps of sensing a temperature of an area surrounding a portion of the airflow chamber with the temperature probe, communicating the sensed temperature of the area surrounding a portion of the airflow chamber to the temperature controller, operating the fan to direct air into a proximal end of the airflow chamber, sensing with the temperature probe a change in the temperature of the area surrounding the portion of the airflow chamber, and communicating the sensed temperature change to the temperature controller.
