The present disclosure is directed to apparatus, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that may control the operation of vaporizing cannabinoids included in a vaporizer cartridge. Apparatus and methods consistent with the present disclosure may identify contents included in a vape cartridge based on an identifier that may be scanned or read. Once the materials in a cartridge are identified, a smart vaporizer may be configured to vaporize those materials in controlled ways. In certain instances, recommended vaporization parameters may be modified based on user input. Parameters that control the heating of a heating element or the opening of a valve that controls a flow of liquid from a reservoir at the cartridge may be changed based on environmental conditions such that a user using the smart vaporizer may be able to inhale vaporized substances at preferred temperatures or flow rates even when environmental conditions change.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A method for cartridge-specific vaporization control, the method comprising:
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.
Claim CLM-00010. 10. An apparatus for cartridge-specific vaporization control, the apparatus comprising:
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, andreceive 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.
Claim CLM-00019. 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:
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.
