This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A personal vaporizer comprising:
a device processor operable for controlling the personal vaporizer, wherein the device processor is operable to generate an activation command to initiate a vaporization process;
a container configured to store a water-based vaporizable liquid composition, wherein the water-based vaporizable liquid composition comprises at least one monitored compound;
a dispersing component operatively coupled to the device processor and controlled in part by the device processor, wherein the dispersing component is in fluid communication with the container for receiving at least a portion of the selected amount of the water-based vaporizable liquid composition from the container, wherein the dispersing component is operable to vaporize at least a portion of the water-based vaporizable liquid composition received therein;
a vapor outlet coupled to the dispersing component and configured to receive a vapor generated by the dispersing component, the vapor outlet operable to expel the generated vapor from the dispersing component;
an input/output device operatively coupled to the device processor; wherein the input/output device is configured to receive a plurality of data for transmission to the device processor, wherein the input/output device is configured to transmit a plurality of data generated by the device processor; and
a power source operatively coupled to the dispersing component, wherein the power source is operable to generate a supply of power for operation of the dispersing component;
wherein the device processor is further operable to,
receive a plurality of user data associated with a user of the personal vaporizer, wherein the plurality of user data includes at least one of user identification data, user age data, and combinations thereof;
generate, based on at least a portion of the plurality of the user data, at least one device activation control signal; and
transmit the at least one device activation control signal to the dispersing component to initiate the vaporization process in accordance with the at least one device activation control signal.

2. The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the dispersing component comprises an ultrasonic vibration element operable to produce ultrasonic vibrations to vaporize at least a portion of the water-based vaporizable liquid composition received therein.

3. The personal vaporizer of claim 2 , wherein the device processor is further operable to:
receive user verification data, wherein the user verification data includes at least one of device purchaser identification data, usage age data, and combinations thereof; and
compare the received user data to the user verification data to determine whether the user data matches the user verification data.

4. The personal vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the device processor is further operable to:
generate, based on a determination that the user data matches the user verification data, at least one device activation control signal to initiate the vaporization process; and
generate, based on a determination that the user data does not match the user verification data, at least one device activation control signal to restrict initiation of the vaporization process.

5. The personal vaporizer of claim 3 , wherein the usage age data comprises data associated with a minimum age for use of the personal vaporizer.

6. The personal vaporizer of claim 5 , wherein the minimum age for use of the personal vaporizer is based on the at least one monitored compound contained in the water-based vaporizable liquid composition stored in the container.

7. The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the at least one monitored compound is a cannabinoid compound.

8. The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the cannabinoid compound is selected from the group consisting of cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBN), and combinations thereof.

9. The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the input/output device comprises a user interface, wherein the device processor is operable to receive at least a portion of the plurality of user data from an associated user via the user interface.

10. The personal vaporizer of claim 1 , wherein the input/output device is configured to receive at least a portion of the plurality of user data from a remote device.

11. A method for activating a personal vaporizer to initiate a vaporization process, the personal vaporizer comprising,
(a) a device processor operable for controlling the personal vaporizer;
(b) at least one container configured to store a water-based vaporizable liquid composition, wherein the water-based vaporizable liquid composition comprises at least one monitored compound;
(c) a dispersing component comprising dispersing element operable to vaporize at least a portion of the water-based vaporizable liquid composition received therein;
d) a vapor outlet operable to expel the generated vapor from the dispersing component;
(e) an input/output device configured to receive a plurality of data for transmission to the device processor and to transmit a plurality of data generated by the device processor; and
(f) a power source operable to generate a variable strength electrical current for operation of the dispersing component, the method comprising:
receiving, at the device processor, a plurality of user data associated with a user of the personal vaporizer, wherein the plurality of user data includes at least one of user identification data, user age data, and combinations thereof;
generating, by the device processor, based on at least a portion of the plurality of the user, at least one device activation control signal;
transmitting the at least one device activation control signal to the ultrasonic vaporizing component to initiate the vaporization process in accordance with the at least one device activation control signal; and
initiating, by the ultrasonic vaporizing component, a vaporization process to vaporizer at least a portion of the water-based vaporizable liquid composition.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving, at the device processor, user verification data, wherein the user verification data includes at least one of device purchaser identification data, usage age data, and combinations thereof; and
comparing, by the device processor, the received user data to the user verification data to determine whether the user data matches the user verification data.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising generating, by the device processor, based on a determination that the user data matches the user verification data, at least one device activation control signal to initiate the vaporization process.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising generating, by the device processor, based on a determination that the user data does not match the user verification data, at least one device activation control signal to restrict initiation of the vaporization process.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the usage age data comprises data associated with a minimum age for use of the personal vaporizer.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the minimum age for use of the personal vaporizer is based on the at least one monitored compound contained in the water-based vaporizable liquid composition stored in the least one container.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one monitored compound is a cannabinoid compound.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cannabinoid compound is selected from the group
