Abstract

A vaporization device and its method of use, where the device can accommodate a plurality of formulations for dispensing by selecting the desired source. Such formulations can include different drug formulations for providing different effects on the user. Also, an indicator with specialized indicia can be provided to identify the source being dispensed.

Claims

1. A method of dispensing a vapor, comprising the steps of:

providing a portable vapor dispensing device adapted for personal use, said portable dispensing delivery device comprising;

a dispensing component configured for dispensing a vaporized formulation orally to a user,

at least one vaporizing component(s),

a first container,

a second container, and

a selecting component configured for connecting the dispensing component to a selected one of the first container or the second container, and

filling the first container with a first formulation for inducing a first physical effect in a user;

filling the second container with a second formulation for inducing a second physical effect in the user, said second physical effect being different than said first physical effect;

selecting one of the first formulation from the first container or the second formulation from the second container using the selecting component;

vaporizing, using the vaporizing component, the selected one of the first formulation or the second formulation; and

dispensing, using the dispenser, the vaporized selected formulation in a manner that can be inhaled by the user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said first drug formulation is configured for inducing more drowsiness in the user than said second drug formulation.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said first drug formulation includes formulation of marijuana strains, and where said second drug formulation includes a different formulation of marijuana strains.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein only one of the at least one vaporizing components is provided between said dispensing component and said selecting component for vaporizing either drug formulation that is selected.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the at least one vaporizing components is associated with the first container, and a second one of the at least one vaporizing components is associated with the second container.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising a third container including another drug formulation, where said selecting component is further configured for connecting the dispensing device to the drug formulation of the third container when selected.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the portable vapor dispensing device has a chamber that is keyed for receiving the first container in a first location but not in a second location and the second container in the second location but not in the first location.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the selecting component is provided with an indicator with indicia that identifies the formulation of the first container and also indicia that identifies the formulation of the second container.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the indicia are replaceable and are provided with the associated formulation by the seller of that formulation.

10. A portable vapor dispensing device, comprising:

a dispensing component configured for dispensing a vaporized formulation orally to a user,

at least one vaporizing component(s),

a chamber configured to receive a first container specially configured to be installed in a first location and a second container specially configured to be installed in a second location, such that said chamber is further configured such that said first container cannot be installed in said second location, and said second container cannot be installed in said first location;

a selecting component configured for connecting the dispensing component to a selected one of the first container or the second container, wherein

said vaporizing component vaporizes the selected one of the first formulation or the second formulation to provide to said dispensing component to dispense the vaporized selected formulation in a manner that can be inhaled by the user.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein said selecting component includes an indicator with associated indicia for indicating to the user which of the first formulation or the second formulation is currently selected.

12. The device of claim 10, wherein said chamber is keyed to receive the first container in the first location but not in the second location, and wherein said chamber is keyed to receive the second container in the second location but not in the first location.

13. The device of claim 10, wherein said first container and said second container are each separately replaceable cartridges.

14. The device of claim 10, wherein said chamber is comprised in a replaceable part integrated with said first container and said second container.

15. The device of claim 10, wherein at least one of said first container or said second container are refillable by the user.

16. A method of dispensing a vapor, comprising the steps of:

providing a portable vapor dispensing device adapted for personal use, said portable dispensing delivery device comprising;

a dispensing component configured for dispensing a vaporized formulation orally to a user,

at least one vaporizing component(s),

a first container,

a second container, and

a selecting component configured for connecting the dispensing component to a selected one of the first container or the second container, and

providing the first container with a first drug formulation;

providing the second container with a second drug formulation different than the first drug formulation; and

providing an indicator on the vapor dispensing device associated with the selecting component, said indicator having first indicia for identifying the first formulation from the first container and also having second indicial for identifying the second formulation from the second container.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising the steps of:

filling the first container with a first formulation for inducing a first physical effect in a user; and

filling the second container with a second formulation for inducing a second physical effect in the user, said second physical effect being different than said first physical effect.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the steps of:

selecting one of the first formulation from the first container or the second formulation from the second container using the selecting component;

vaporizing, using the vaporizing component, the selected one of the first formulation or the second formulation; and

dispensing, using the dispenser, the vaporized selected formulation in a manner that can be inhaled by the user.

19. The method of claim 18, said portable vapor dispensing device further comprising a chamber configured to receive the first container specially configured to be installed in a first location and the second container specially configured to be installed in a second location, such that said chamber is further configured such that said first container cannot be installed in said second location, and said second container cannot be installed in said first location.

20. The method of claim 16, said portable vapor dispensing device further comprising a chamber configured to receive the first container specially configured to be installed in a first location and the second container specially configured to be installed in a second location, such that said chamber is further configured such that said first container cannot be installed in said second location, and said second container cannot be installed in said first location.
