Abstract

A portable vaporizer system that includes two or more individual heating elements controlled by a switching element. The switching element is either an analog control such as toggle switch or button or a digitally controlled with a microprocessor. Each heating element may be individually contained within a variety of cavity types and designs. These cavities enclose both the heating element and the material to be vaporized. Cavities may be removable or permanently installed on the device. Removable cavities may include screw or plug-in attachment types. Permanently installed cavities may have a removable lid for access to the interior of the cavity. Configurations of heating elements and cavities from two to twelve are shown. Digitally controlled switching elements can be controlled from a native application installed on the vaporizer device or on a mobile computing device. The digital control applications may include a user profile, manual device controls, access to a remote blend database, eCommerce functions, social media integration and a user calendar. Native applications on a portable vaporizer device may be controlled by a digital touch screen and be connected to other devices by communication means such as Bluetooth or WiFI.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for vaporizing smokable materials for personal inhalation by a user comprising:

A portable vaporizer device comprising:
Two or more heating elements, each heating element disposed to apply heat to an individual smokable material to vaporize the material and being individually controlled for activation and temperature;
A power source;
A switching element that controls the activation, duration of activation and temperature of each heating element individually;
A wireless communication means for connecting the portable vaporizer device to a computer application installed on a computer system;
At least one control for activating the portable vaporizer device;
A computer application installed on a computer system, said computer system including a wireless communication means for communicating with the portable vaporizer device and a connection to the internet, said computer application comprising:
A user interface for controlling the computer application;
A user profile for the user;
Ecommerce functions allowing the user to purchase related products from an online store;
Settings for each heating element on the portable vaporizer device that allow the user to individually control the activation, duration of activation and temperature of each heating element, the application being configured to save the settings as a device configuration profile with the user profile;
