1. A vapor delivery device comprising:
a housing; a liquid tank disposed within the housing, the liquid tank being adapted to hold a fluid; a heating element disposed within the housing, the heating element being operable to vaporize at least a portion of the fluid; a power source disposed with the housing and electronically coupled to the power source, and the heating element; an electronics portion adapted to control heating element and the power source, wherein the electronics portion is configured to control charging of the vapor delivery device and harvesting of the charge to thereby cause the heating element to vaporize at least a portion of the fluid, wherein charging the vapor delivery device comprises periodically extracting and storing energy from the power source in a magnetic field, and wherein harvesting the charge comprises dumping the energy into a capacitor in the form of a charge and applying the aggregate charge to the heating element; and an outlet extending from the liquid tank to an opening in the housing.
