Apparatus for the controlled mixing and dispensing of liquids

A method for changing a characteristic of a mixed liquid, comprising:

• providing a system for dispensing a mixed liquid, the system comprising:
• a first reservoir containing a first liquid and a second reservoir containing a second liquid;
• a first pump interconnected to said first reservoir and a second pump interconnected to said second reservoir;
• a mixing chamber interconnected to an output of said first pump and an output of said second pump;
• a display panel operatively interconnected to said first pump and said second pump;
• selecting, in a first instance, an input of said display panel to activate said first pump to transport a predetermined amount of said first liquid to said mixing chamber, and to activate said second pump to transport a predetermined amount of said second liquid to said mixing chamber;
• combining, in said first instance, said first liquid and said second liquid in said mixing chamber to form a first mixed liquid having a characteristic;
• selecting, in a second instance, said input of said display panel to activate said first pump to transport a predetermined amount of said first liquid to said mixing chamber, and to activate said second pump to transport a predetermined amount of said second liquid to said mixing chamber;
• and
• combining, in said second instance, said first liquid and said second liquid in said mixing chamber to form a second mixed liquid having said characteristic, wherein said characteristic of said first mixed liquid is distinct from said characteristic of said second mixed liquid.

A method for reducing the nicotine content of a mixed liquid over a predetermined time period, comprising:

• providing a system for dispensing a mixed liquid, said system having a mixing chamber connected to a first reservoir and a second reservoir, said mixing chamber configured to store a mixed liquid that comprises a first liquid from said first reservoir and a second liquid from said second reservoir;
• connecting an interface module to said system, wherein said interface module is configured to control the dispensing of the first liquid and the second liquid into the mixing chamber;
• transmitting a first recipe to said interface module, said first recipe defining a first liquid portion, a second liquid portion, and a nicotine content of said mixed liquid;
• dispensing, by said interface module in a first instance, said first liquid portion and said second liquid portion into said mixing chamber to form said mixed liquid according to said first recipe, wherein said mixed liquid has a nicotine content greater than or equal to 20%;
• elapsing a predetermined time period between said first instance and a second instance;
• and
• dispensing, by said interface module in said second instance, said first liquid portion and said second liquid portion into said mixing chamber to form said mixed liquid according to a second recipe, wherein said mixed liquid has a nicotine content less than 20%.
