1. A method for cartridge-specific vaporization control, the method comprising: (5) (4)

receiving an identifier associated with a vape cartridge;

sending the identifier to a computing device, wherein the computing device stores information associated with the identifier including information regarding at least one substance included in the vape cartridge;

receiving the information associated with the identifier sent from the computing device, wherein the received information indicates one or more vaporization settings recommended for vaporizing the at least one substance; and

controlling vaporization from the vape cartridge by a vape device based on the recommended vaporization settings.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying a recommended vaporization temperature based on the vaporization settings and providing the recommended vaporization temperature to the vape device. (0)

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a user preference specifying a change to at least one of the recommended vaporization settings, wherein the vaporization from the vape cartridge is controlled further based on the change specified by the user preference. (1) (0)

5. The method of claim 1, wherein controlling the vaporization from the vape cartridge comprises: (1) (2)

identifying that a vaporization switch of the vape device has been pressed; and

controlling energy provided to a heating element of the vape device, wherein the energy is controlled in accordance with the recommended vaporization settings.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein controlling the energy includes providing a specified level of at least one of a voltage or a current to the heating element. (1) (0)

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (2)

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the recommended vaporization settings includes a valve setting for a valve of a reservoir holding the at least one substance within the vape cartridge, and wherein controlling the vaporization includes opening the valve in accordance with the valve setting. (0)

10. An apparatus for cartridge-specific vaporization control, the apparatus comprising: (5) (3)

a reader that receives an identifier associated with a vape cartridge;

a communication interface that communicates over a communication network to: send the identifier to a computing device, wherein the computing device stores information associated with the identifier including information regarding at least one substance included in the vape cartridge, and

receive the information associated with the identifier sent from the computing device, wherein the received information indicates one or more vaporization settings recommended for vaporizing the at least one substance from the vape cartridge; and

a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein the processor executes the instructions to control vaporization from the vape cartridge based on the recommended vaporization settings.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the processor further identifies a recommended vaporization temperature based on the vaporization settings and provides the recommended vaporization temperature to the vape device (0)

12. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a user interface that receives a user preference specifying a change to at least one of the recommended vaporization settings, wherein the vaporization from the vape cartridge is controlled further based on the change specified by the user preference. (1) (0)

14. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising: (1) (3)

a battery that provides an amount of energy;

a heating element that generates heat based on the amount of energy provided from the battery, and

a vaporization switch that is pressed, wherein the processor controls the vaporization from the vape cartridge when the vaporization switch has been pressed by controlling the amount of energy provided from the batter to the heating element, wherein the amount of energy is controlled in accordance with the recommended vaporization settings.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the processor controls the amount of energy by specifying a level of at least one of a voltage or a current to the heating element. (1) (0)

17. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising an environment sensor that detects at least one of a temperature or a humidity, wherein the processor further identifies a current environmental condition based on the received information from the environmental sensor, and controls the vaporization further based on the identified current environmental condition. (0)

18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the recommended vaporization settings includes a valve setting for a valve of a reservoir holding the at least one substance within the vape cartridge, and wherein the processor controls the vaporization by specifying that the valve is to be opened in accordance with the valve setting. (0)

19. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor for performing a method for cartridge-specific vaporization control, the method comprising: (0) (4)

receiving an identifier associated with a vape cartridge;

controlling vaporization from the vape cartridge by a vape device based on the recommended vaporization settings.
