Abstract: A vapor sample collection apparatus and method of vapor sample collection. The vapor sample collection apparatus has a connection port to connect a first end of a tube to an exhaust port of a vaporizer device, a vacuum pump connected to a second end of the tube, a manifold connected to the vacuum pump, and a vapor containment vessel for collecting a vapor sample, where the vacuum pump is configured to draw a predetermined pressure on the tube. The method of vapor sample collection includes connecting a connection port to an exhaust port of a vaporizer device, the connection port being attached to a first end of a tube, activating the vaporizer device to vaporize a sample containing an active ingredient, drawing a predetermined pressure on a second end of the tube using a vacuum pump, and collecting a vapor sample from the vaporizer device in a vapor containment vessel.

Abstract: Vapor data repositories and methods for providing vapor data are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a vapor data repository (VDR) may include memory for vapor production data (VPD) from a vaporizer device and memory for vapor content data (VCD). The VPD may include a sample identifier associated with material having an active ingredient and vaping parameters. The VCD may include concentration of active ingredient data captured by a vapor sample collection apparatus. Another embodiment of a VDR may include memory for vapor correlation data having relationships between VPD and VCD, in which the VPD has production parameters from a vape session, in which the VCD is generated from analysis of captured vaporized material from the vape session on the vaporizer device, and a processor processes requests for the vapor correlation data from users. Methods for providing vapor data are also provided.

Abstract: A vaporizer device and method for delivering an accurate dose. The vaporizer device has a receptacle for holding material having an active ingredient, a heating element for heating either the receptacle or air as it flows to the receptacle, an electronic storage memory for storing vapor correlation data, and a controller configured to control a vaporizer parameter according to instructions in the vapor correlation data and a requested dose of active ingredient, where the vaporizer parameter includes at least one of temperature, air flow rate, pressure drop, pressure differential, and duration per use. The method of using a vaporizer device includes providing material having an active ingredient, receiving a requested dose of active ingredient from a user, determining a vaporizer parameter to satisfy the requested dose according to instructions in vapor correlation data, and controlling the vaporizer parameter to provide the requested dose.

Abstract: A vaporizer profile management system (VPMS) includes a vaporizer device with an electronic memory to store vapor production data (VPD) from a vape session, a communications interface to transmit the VPD to a computing platform, a vapor analyzing device to generate vapor content data (VCD) derived from vapor collected during the vape session from an exhaust port of the vaporizer device, and a computing platform that receives and processes the VPD and the VCD. A method for generating a vaporizer profile includes storing VPD from a vape session, transmitting the stored VPD to a computing platform, generating VCD derived from vapor collected during the vape session from an exhaust port of the vaporizer device, receiving the VPD and the VCD by the computing platform, and processing at the computing platform the VPD and the VCD to analyze and correlate the VCD with the VPD.

Abstract: A vaporizer device and method for accurate dosing includes a receptacle for holding material having an active ingredient and a heating element for heating the receptacle or air flowing through the receptacle. A controller is configured to receive vapor production information from sensors inside the vaporizer device and generates vapor production data having a sample identifier associated with the material. The vapor production data may also include receptacle temperature, vapor temperature, vapor flow rate, vapor pressure, vapor flow duration, vapor density, heating duration, material pack density, material age, and heating power. The device also has an electronic memory to store the vapor production data.
