1. A vaporizer configured to vaporize a constituent of a plant material, comprising:

  • a heating element configured to heat the plant material;

    a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the plant material; and

    control circuitry configured toreceive the temperature of the plant material detected by the temperature sensor, to drive the heating element to heat the plant material at a first heating rate to a sub-vaporization temperature of the constituent during a first heating step in response to receiving a first input, and to drive the heating element to heat the plant material at a second heating rate to a vaporization temperature of the constituent during a second heating step in response to receiving a second input, the second heating rate being less than the first heating rate, the first heating step having a greater magnitude of temperature increase than the second heating step.
