System and method for managing concentrate usage of a user
A system comprising a vaporizing device and a central server is described. The vaporizing device includes a housing and a cartridge, received within the housing, the cartridge including a predefined quantity of concentrate and an identification code associated with the concentrate and uniquely identifying the cartridge. The vaporizing device further includes a control unit configured to read the identification code. The vaporizing device further includes a communication unit configured to transmit the identification code to a computing device of a user. The central server includes a database. The central server is configured to receive the identification code from the computing device and retrieve concentrate information corresponding to the identification code from the database. The central server is configured to transmit the concentrate information to the computing device for displaying to the user.
1. A system for managing vaporized concentrate usage of a user comprising:
a vaporizing device comprising:
a housing;
a removable cartridge received within the housing and configured to store a predefined quantity of concentrate therein, the cartridge comprising an identification code associated with the concentrate and uniquely identifying the cartridge, the cartridge having a plunger structured and arranged to extrude a known quantity of the concentrate from the cartridge;
a vaporization chamber defined in the housing and in fluid communication with the cartridge, the vaporization chamber configured to collect the concentrate extruded from the cartridge, the vaporization chamber being disposed physically separate from the cartridge;
a control unit disposed within the housing and configured to read the identification code; and
a communication unit coupled to the control unit, the communication unit configured to transmit the identification code to a computing device of a user; and
a central server comprising a database, the database comprising a plurality of identification codes and corresponding concentrate information, wherein the central server is configured to:
receive the identification code from the computing device;
match the identification code to the same identification code in the database;
retrieve concentrate information corresponding to the matched identification code from the database; and
transmit the concentrate information to the computing device for displaying to the user.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification code is provided by a memory module joined to the cartridge.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the memory module is an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the concentrate information further includes information selected from the group consisting of: vaporization temperature settings, dosage quantity, and dosage time.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the database further includes user profile data, the user profile data including the identification code of the removable cartridge disposed within the vaporizing device associated with the user.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the database of identification codes and corresponding concentrate information permits identification of at least two removable cartridges having the same concentrate information, a batch of concentrate having been used to fill the at least two removable cartridges.
