Software-controlled alternative nicotine/thc delivery device

Abstract

A software-controlled alternative nicotine/THC delivery device. A processor determines instructions for providing a first inhalation containing a first vaporizable solution and a second inhalation containing a second vaporizable solution (the first vaporizable solution comprising a first substance, the second vaporizable solution comprising a second substance and not the first substance), provides a plurality of inhalations from an alternative nicotine/THC delivery device, receives user input regarding the delivery of the first vaporizable solution and the second vaporizable solution, and modifies the instructions for providing the inhalations from the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device based on the user input.

         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first substance comprises nicotine. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second substance does not comprise nicotine. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is incorporated within a computer, a smart phone, a smart watch, or a fitness tracker. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the instructions for providing the inhalations from the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device are based on static and/or dynamic biometrics of the user; and   the processor is configured to reduce consumption of the first substance by the user.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the plurality of inhalations comprises:
 storing the first vaporizable solution in a first reservoir;   heating the first vaporizable solution to generate the first inhalation;   storing the second vaporizable material in a second reservoir; and   heating the second vaporizable material to generate the second inhalation.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining the instructions for providing the first inhalation and the second inhalation is based on user input by interaction of the user with a computer or smart phone. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein receiving the computer or smart phone includes the processor. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the user input comprises at least one of: the body weight of the user, the sex of the user, the age of the user, the height of the user, the body type of the user, average water/fluid intake of the user, sampled cotinine levels of the user, sampled hormone levels of the user, the metabolic rate of the user, hydration of the user. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the user input comprises at least one of: the body weight of the user, the sex of the user, the age of the user, the height of the user, the body type of the user, average water/fluid intake of the user, sampled cotinine levels of the user, sampled hormone levels of the user, the metabolic rate of the user, and hydration of the user. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving the user input comprises receiving the user input from at least one of: a computer, a smartphone, an input/output device included in a charging unit of the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device, and one or more input devices included in the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the modifying comprises increasing a quantity of inhalations of the second vaporizable solution and decreasing a quantity of inhalations of the first vaporizable solution. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the modifying comprises mixing a quantity of the first vaporizable solution with a quantity of the second vaporizable solution. 
     
     
         14 . An alternative nicotine/THC delivery device comprising:
 a processor; and   memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device to at least:
 determining, by the processor, instructions for providing a first inhalation containing a first vaporizable solution and a second inhalation containing a second vaporizable solution, wherein the first vaporizable solution comprises a first substance, and wherein the second vaporizable solution comprises a second substance and does not comprise the first sub stance; 
 providing a plurality of inhalations from the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device, the plurality of inhalations based on the instructions from the processor and comprising the first inhalation and the second inhalation; 
 receiving, by the processor, user input regarding the delivery of the first vaporizable solution and the second vaporizable solution; and 
 modifying, by the processor and based on the user input, the instructions for providing the inhalations from the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device. 
   
     
     
         15 . The alternative nicotine/THC delivery device of  claim 14 , wherein the first substance comprises nicotine. 
     
     
         16 . The alternative nicotine/THC delivery device of  claim 14 , wherein the second substance does not comprise nicotine. 
     
     
         17 . The alternative nicotine/THC delivery device of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions for providing the inhalations from the alternative nicotine/THC delivery device are based on static and/or dynamic biometrics of the user and the processor is configured to reduce consumption of the first substance by the user. 
     
     
         18 . The alternative nicotine/THC delivery device of  claim 14 , wherein providing the plurality of inhalations comprises:
 storing the first vaporizable solution in a first reservoir;   heating the first vaporizable solution to generate the first inhalation;   storing the second vaporizable material in a second reservoir; and   heating the second vaporizable material to generate the second inhalation.   
     
     
         19 . The alternative nicotine/THC delivery device of  claim 16 , wherein the determining the instructions for providing the first inhalation and the second inhalation is based on user input by interaction of the user with a computer or smart phone.
