Abstract

Provided is a method comprising receiving, in a mixing chamber, a first amount of a first vaporizable material from a first container wherein the first vaporizable material has properties that promote wellness when inhaled, receiving, in the mixing chamber, a second amount of a second vaporizable material from a second container, mixing the first amount of the first vaporizable material and the second amount of the second vaporizable material to create a mixed vaporizable material, vaporizing the mixed vaporizable material to create a vapor, and expelling the vapor through an exhaust port for inhalation by a user.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

a vapor outlet;

a first container for storing a first vaporizable material wherein the first vaporizable material has properties that promote wellness when inhaled;

a second container for storing a second vaporizable material;

a mixing chamber coupled to the first container for receiving the first vaporizable material, the second container for receiving the second vaporizable material, configured for producing a mixed vaporizable material based on the first vaporizable material and the second vaporizable material; and

a vaporizer component configured for vaporizing the mixed vaporizable material to generate a vapor and for providing the vapor to the vapor outlet.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vaporizer component comprises a heating element for vaporizing the mixed vaporizable material.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a processor configured for determining a vaporization ratio of the first vaporizable material and the second vaporizable material and for determining an amount of the first vaporizable material and an amount of the second vaporizable material to comprise the mixed vaporizable material.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vaporizer component comprises a vibrating mesh for nebulizing the mixed vaporizable material into a mist, an atomizer for atomizing the mixed vaporizable material into an aerosol, or an ultrasonic nebulizer for nebulizing the mixed vaporizable material into a mist.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first vaporizable material comprises at least one of slippery elm, vitamin C, vitamin D, Echinacea, N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC), Zinc, water, or a liquid for increasing humidity, and wherein the second vaporizable material comprises at least one of cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBN), other health promoting cannabinoids, a medicine, a nutraceutical, nicotine, or a flavored material.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first vaporizable material is vaporized for the purpose of counteracting negative side effects of inhaling the second vaporizable material.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first vaporizable material supplements properties of the second vaporizable material.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second vaporizable material is for treating a predetermined body part and the first vaporizable material is for wellness of the predetermined body part.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein, wherein the second vaporizable material is for recreational purposes and wherein the first vaporizable material is for promoting wellness of an area exposed to vapor when inhaled.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the area includes at least one of a lung, a throat, a mouth, a tongue, a larynx, teeth, or gums.

11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first vaporizable material has properties that enhance comfort of a user at a location of contact of a body part and vapor.

12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first vaporizable material reduces a smell or a taste of an environment or the second vaporizable material when the vapor is inhaled.

13. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a memory and a processor configured to at least one of control a rate of vaporization of the vaporizable materials or control a ratio of the first vaporizable material to the second vaporizable material that will be vaporized by the vaporizer component.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising a first valve positioned between the first container and the vaporizer component and a second valve positioned between the second container and the vaporizer component and wherein the processor is further configured to control the first valve and the second valve.

15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first vaporizable material comprises a first medicine and the second vaporizable material comprises a second medicine to be taken in conjunction with the first medicine.

16. A method comprising:

receiving, in a mixing chamber, a first amount of a first vaporizable material from a first container wherein the first vaporizable material has properties that promote wellness when inhaled;

receiving, in the mixing chamber, a second amount of a second vaporizable material from a second container;

mixing the first amount of the first vaporizable material and the second amount of the second vaporizable material to create a mixed vaporizable material;

vaporizing the mixed vaporizable material to create a vapor; and

expelling the vapor through an exhaust port for inhalation by a user.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

determining the first amount of the first vaporizable material;

determining the second amount of the second vaporizable material;

withdrawing the first amount of the first vaporizable material into the mixing chamber; and

withdrawing the second amount of the second vaporizable material into the mixing chamber.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

determining a vaporization ratio of the first vaporizable material and the second vaporizable material;

determining the first amount of the first vaporizable material based on the vaporization ratio;

determining the second amount of the second vaporizable material based on the vaporization ratio;

withdrawing the first amount of the first vaporizable material into the mixing chamber; and

withdrawing the second amount of the second vaporizable material into the mixing chamber.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

after expelling the vapor through an exhaust port for inhalation by a user, determining that the vaporization ratio is outside a threshold; and

adjusting the vaporization ratio.

20. The method of claim 16, wherein the first vaporizable material comprises at least one of slippery elm, vitamin C, vitamin D, Echinacea, N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC), Zinc, water, or a liquid for increasing humidity, and wherein the second vaporizable material comprises at least one of cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBN), other health promoting cannabinoids, a medicine, a nutraceutical, nicotine, or a flavored material.
