Abstract: An inhalation device for e.g., nicotine products which receives a user input regulating the amount of nicotine the user wants to receive. Once the selected amount has been delivered to the user, the device shuts off its atomizer to conclude operation.

Abstract: An inhalation device for inhaling a vaporized substance that includes metering capabilities to inform a user when a particular amount of substance has been consumed. The inhalation device can include a sensor that senses the vaporized substance and a processor that utilizes data from the sensor to meter the amount consumed. The inhalation device can also define a session, which is a time in which a user can consume a particular amount. During the session, a user can start and stop inhaling and resume inhaling. When the user stops inhaling the inhalation device will halt vapor production and will resume production when the user resumes inhaling.

Abstract: An inhalation device includes a light source that emits light, a light sensor that senses an intensity of the light emitted from the light source and a processor or circuit configured to perform a metering process. The metering process may include when a signal indicating that a puff has been detected by the puff detecting element: extracting a predetermined known flow rate that is stored in the memory in advance, determining an amount of vaporized substance that have been produced, and accumulating the determined amount of vaporized substance that has been produced in the memory as a total amount produced. The metering method may also include when the accumulated total amount produced reaches a predetermined threshold: (i) shut off the heating element or (ii) send a signal to an indicator that the predetermined threshold amount of the vaporized substance has been consumed.

Abstract: An inhalation device for inhaling a vaporized substance that includes metering capabilities to inform a user when a particular amount of substance has been consumed is provided with a connector structure compatible with standard battery units, such as 510 or 710 thread connections, so that a user can obtain an economical dosage-controlled device by, e.g., simply swapping out the vaporization cartridge of a standard vape. The inhalation device includes a timer to control the amount of time of heater activation to permit dosage control during use of the inhalation device, or a timer can be used in combination with other dosage measuring techniques.
