A vaporization device includes biometric recognition systems. A vaporizer device (100) is provided. The vaporizer device includes a vaporizer body (110) comprising a cartridge receptacle (118), a heating element, a power source (112), and a sensor (113, 203, 504, 602, 802, 804, 901, 1001). The vaporizer device may further include a vaporizer cartridge (120) that is selectively coupled to the vaporizer body, the vaporizer cartridge comprising one or more translucent surfaces (201) and a passageway between the sensor and the one or more translucent surfaces. The vaporizer device further includes a controller (104) configured to determine, based on data from the sensor, whether a user is authorized to use the vaporizer device. The controller is further configured to provide power to the heating element to generate an aerosol responsive to determining the authorization of the user. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also described. |
