1. A portable vaporizer comprising:
- a battery power supply;
a generally hollow body containing a manifold having an open top;
an intake fluidly communicating from the exterior of the body to the manifold;
a convection heating system comprising;
at least two heating elements each in thermal contact with the manifold;
at least one temperature sensor positioned in the manifold;
a controller in signal communication with the temperature sensor;
a chamber having a air permeable floor fluidly connected to the open top of the manifold;
an illumination communication display;
an on/off switch;
a cover that mates with the body above the chamber having a fluid pathway for vapor inhalation; and
,wherein the controller controls the power supplied to each heating element in response to information it processes from the temperature sensor.

8. A vaporizer system comprising:
-
a controller; a heating chamber having an open top surrounded by an annular wall and having a air permeable floor; a manifold in thermal contact with at least two heating elements; an intake to allow air to pass into the manifold; an exit to allow heated air to pass out of the manifold; an on/off switch; a power supply; a cover with an interface to close off the open top of the chamber; an inhalation intake connected to a fluid pathway passing from inside the cover; and
,wherein the power supply is electrically connected to the heating elements and the controller via the on/off switch; and
,wherein each heating element is separately controlled by the controller. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A vaporizing method, the method comprising:
- placing organic plant material in a chamber;
connecting a manifold having a heater therein controlled by a control board connected to a battery supply to at least one valve whereby a fluid pathway for air is provided to the valve;
providing a fluid pathway from the valve to at least a portion of the chamber;
partially sealing the chamber with a cover having a fluid exit;
heating the air in the manifold to a predetermined temperature;
the user actuating the valve to open the fluid pathway;
the control board indicating to the user via an illumination communication that the users may inhale; and
, during inhalation at the fluid exit heated air from the first manifold passes through a predetermined section of the material in the chamber releasing vapor.
- placing organic plant material in a chamber;
