1. An electronic vapor device comprising:
- a device processor operable for controlling the electronic vapor device;
at least one container configured to store at least one type of vaporizable material, wherein the type of vaporizable material is selected from the group consisting of a liquid composition comprising at least one of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin and a natural-based liquid composition;
a mixing component operatively coupled to the device processor and controlled in part by the device processor, wherein the mixing component is in fluid communication with the at least one container for receiving at least a portion of the vaporizable material therefrom, wherein the mixing component is operable to withdraw a selected amount of vaporizable material from the at least one container;
a vaporizing component operatively coupled to the device processor and controlled in part by the device processor, wherein the vaporizing component is in fluid communication with the mixing component for receiving at least a portion of the selected amount of vaporizable material withdrawn from the at least one container by the mixing component, wherein the vaporizing component comprises an ultrasonic operable to produce ultrasonic vibrations to vaporize at least a portion of vaporizable material received therein and a heating element operable to produce heat energy to vaporize at least a portion of vaporizable material received therein;
at least one vapor outlet coupled to the vaporizing component and configured to receive vapor generated by the vaporizing component, the at least one vapor outlet operable to expel the generated vapor from the electronic vapor device;
an input/output device operatively coupled to the device processor and controlled in part by the device processor, wherein the input/output device is operable to receive at least one command for selectively operating at least one of the ultrasonic vibration element and the heating element, based on the type of vaporizable material stored in the at least one container, and to transmit the at least one command to the device processor for processing thereof; and
at least one power source operatively coupled to the vaporizing component, wherein the at least one power source is operable to generate a supply of power for operation of at least the mixing component and the vaporizing component.

Abstract
Provided are systems, methods and electronic vapor devices comprising a first container containing a first vaporizable liquid and a second container comprising a second vaporizable liquid. A vaporizer can be configured to vaporize at least the first vaporizable liquid and the second vaporizable liquid. Vaporizing the first vaporizable liquid produces a first vapor having a visible vapor cloud, and vaporizing the second vaporizable liquid produces a second vapor having a drastically reduced or invisible vapor cloud when compared to the first vapor.
