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 for inhaling a vaporized substance that includes metering capabilities to inform a user when a particular amount of substance has been consumed. The device includes an inlet having an opening, an outlet, a processor, an atomizer configured to vaporize an unvaporized substance into a vaporized substance. The device further includes a channel positioned between the atomizer and the outlet, wherein the vaporized substance flows downstream from the atomizer to the outlet via the channel, a light signal device, wherein the light signal device emits light, and a light sensor, wherein the light sensor senses the light from the light signal device.

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 an inlet, an outlet, a channel positioned between the inlet and outlet. The device can further include an atomizer positioned between the inlet and the outlet and configured to vaporize an unvaporized substance into a vaporized substance, where the vaporized substance flows downstream from the atomizer to the outlet via the channel. The inhalation device can further include an airflow sensor positioned upstream of the flow of the vaporized substance, where the airflow sensor is configured to acquire information on the flow of air from the inlet.

Abstract: An inhalation device for inhaling a vaporized substance that provides security and/or childproof capability that includes an inlet, an outlet, a channel positioned between the inlet and outlet, a security mechanism capable of configuring the inhalation device in a locked mode and an unlocked mode, where the inhalation device is configured to vaporize an unvaporized substance when the security mechanism configures the inhalation device in the unlocked mode, where the security mechanism is configured to prevent the inhalation device from vaporizing an unvaporized substance when the security mechanism configures the inhalation device in the locked mode.
