Heat can be supplied effectively to a porous member of a vaporizer apparatus so that a vaporizing operation can be carried out smoothly and efficiently. The vaporizer apparatus includes a vaporizer section having a porous member including a liquid receiving surface and a vapor discharge surface. A feed supply section supplies a liquid feed material to the liquid receiving surface of the porous member. A heating medium passage is in thermal contact with the porous member. A heating medium supply system flows a heating medium of a temperature higher than a vaporization temperature of the liquid feed material through the heating medium passage.
