Electronic vaporizer sessioning

A vaporizer device that is configured to communicate with an application being executed by a mobile computing device, the application being configured to receive usage preferences of preferred usage of a vaporizable material by a user of the vaporizer device, and to determine a set of operational settings for the vaporizer device that correspond to the user's preferred usage of the vaporizable material, the vaporizer device comprising:

• a vaporizer body having a power source, a receptacle, and a controller;
• a cartridge configured for mating with the receptacle of the vaporizer body, and having a reservoir to hold the vaporizable material and a heater for vaporizing the vaporizable material based on a usage of the vaporizer device by the user, the heater being responsive to the set of operational settings managed by the controller;
• one or more sensors associated with the vaporizer body and/or the cartridge for sensing the usage of a vaporizable material in a period of time, the one or more sensors being configured to generate usage data representing the usage of the vaporizable material;
• and
• a transceiver for communicating the usage data to the mobile computing device via a wireless channel, and for receiving the set of operational settings to control the vaporizer device according to the usage preferences of the preferred usage of the vaporizable material received from the user of the vaporizable device.

A method of operating a vaporizer device that contains a vaporizable material for being vaporized by a user, the vaporizer device being configured to communicate with an application that is executed by a mobile computing device having a user interface, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the application, usage preferences of a preferred usage of the vaporizable material by the user of the vaporizer device;
• receiving, by the application from one or more sensors associated with the vaporizer device, usage data representing a usage of the vaporizable device;
• comparing, by the application, the usage data with the usage preferences within a predetermined time period;
• determining, by the application, a set of operational settings for the vaporizer device that correspond to the user's preferred usage of the vaporizable material;
• and
• transmitting, by the mobile computing device to the vaporizer device over a wireless channel, the set of operational settings for the vaporizer device to control an operation of the vaporizer device.
