Abstract

See full text

Vaporization devices, components, and methods of operating them are provided. In some implementations, the vaporization device for use with a vaporizable material includes a device body, a power source, a microcontroller, a measurement circuit, and a microcontroller. The measurement circuit is configured to measure a resistance of a resistive heater. The microcontroller is configured to determine a baseline resistance based on the measured resistance, the measured resistance being measured after a period of time has passed since power from the power source was last applied to the resistive heater; determine a target resistance of the resistive heater based on the determined baseline resistance; and provide power from the power source to the resistive heater to heat the vaporizable material based at least in part on the target resistance.
