Vaporizer controls

1. A method comprising:

determining, via one or more processors, whether a vaporizer device is within a communication range of a second device, the determining based on transmitting a broadcast message from the second device;

locking, via the one or more processors, the vaporizer device in response to the vaporizer device being within the communication range, wherein locking the vaporizer device comprises disabling use of a heating function of the vaporizer device;

receiving, via the one or more processors, information indicative of an age of a user of the vaporizer device, the information received from a third device that is separate from the second device; and

unlocking, via the one or more processors and based on the information indicative of the age of the user, the vaporizer device, wherein unlocking the vaporizer device comprises enabling use of the heating function at a time when the vaporizer device is within the communication range of the second device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein locking the vaporizer device comprises sending a signal via an application running on the second device to the vaporizer device to disable the heating function of the vaporizer device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, on a user interface of the second device, a list or graphical representation of vaporizer devices within the communication range, wherein the vaporizer devices within the communication range comprise the vaporizer device and at least one other vaporizer device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the information indicative of the age of the user comprises receiving the information via an application executing on the second device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, via the one or more processors, information associated with the user of the vaporizer device to the third device, wherein the third device comprises a server configured for determining the age of the user; and

wherein receiving the information indicative of the age of the user comprises receiving, via the one or more processors and from the third device in response to transmitting the information associated with the user, a response indicating whether the age of the user satisfies a threshold, wherein unlocking the vaporizer device is in response to the response indicating that the age of the user satisfied the threshold.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein unlocking the vaporizer device comprises:

generating, via the third device, a code to unlock the vaporizer device;

transmitting, via the third device, the code;

receiving, via the one or more processors, an input of the code; and

activating, via the one or more processors, the vaporizer device in response to receiving the code.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the input of the code comprises receiving a user input of the code via interaction with a user interface of the second device.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the input of the code comprises receiving a user input of the code via interaction with the vaporizer device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third device comprises a server in communication with an application running on the second device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein locking the vaporizer device comprises sending a signal from the second device to the vaporizer device to disable operation of the vaporizer device.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reporting, to the third device, an indication of vaporizer devices within the communication range of the second device.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second device comprises the one or more processors.

13. A vaporizer device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the vaporizer device to at least:

determine whether the vaporizer device is within a communication range of a second device, the determining based on receiving a broadcast message from the second device;

lock the vaporizer device to disable use of a heating function of the vaporizer device in response to the vaporizer device being within the communication range; and

unlock, based on information indicative of an age of the user, the vaporizer device, wherein unlocking the vaporizer device comprises enabling use of the heating function at a time when the vaporizer device is within the communication range of the second device, and wherein the information is received via a third device that is separate from the second device.

14. The vaporizer device of claim 13 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to receive a signal from an application running on the second device to unlock the vaporizer device.

15. The vaporizer device of claim 13 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to receive a user input by interaction of the user with a user interface.

16. The vaporizer device of claim 13 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to receive the information indicative of the age of the user via an application executing on the second device.

17. The vaporizer device of claim 13 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to compare the information indicative of the age of the user with second information associated with the user stored in a database.

18. The vaporizer device of claim 13 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to at least:

receive an input of a code to unlock the vaporizer device; and

activate the vaporizer device in response to receiving the code.

19. The vaporizer device of claim 18 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to receive a user input of the code by interaction with a user interface of the second device.

20. The vaporizer device of claim 18 , wherein the vaporizer device is further caused to at least receive a user input of the code by interaction with the vaporizer device.
