Abstract

Claims (12)

1. A method of administering a concentrate to a user using a vaporizing device, the method comprising;

receiving a cartridge in the vaporizing device, the cartridge comprising a predefined quantity of the concentrate and an identification code associated with the concentrate, and a plunger structured and arranged to extrude a known quantity of the concentrate from the cartridge, the vaporizing device having a control unit configured to read the identification code, the vaporizing device further having a vaporization chamber in fluid communication with the cartridge to collect the concentrate extruded from the cartridge, the vaporization chamber being disposed physically separate from the cartridge;

reading the identification code from the cartridge;

extruding the concentrate from the cartridge into the vaporization chamber of the vaporizing device; and

vaporizing the concentrate in the vaporization chamber based on the identification code.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, transmitting the identification code to a computing device of the user.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising, displaying the information associated with the concentrate to the user via the computing device, based on the identification code.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising, displaying the corresponding concentration information associated with the concentrate to the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , further including a heating element in thermal communication with the vaporization chamber, the heating element configured to generate heat energy to vaporize the concentrate in the vaporization chamber; the control unit further configured to control the heat energy generated by the heating element based on the identification code of the cartridge.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification code uniquely identifies the cartridge.
