Claim Text:
1. A method of efficiently and consistently vaporizing a precise volume of a liquid medicant from a hand-held device, comprising: a. determining a precise amount of power required to vaporize the precise volume of liquid with the heating element in a precise duration of time; and b. metering a precise volume of a liquid to a heating element; c. supplying the precise amount of power from a power supply to heat the heating element for the precise duration of time such that the combination of the precise amount of power and the precise duration of time heats the heating element to a minimum required temperature for a minimum required time to completely vaporize the precise volume of the liquid; d. monitoring a temperature of the heating element while the power is being supplied; e. comparing the temperature of the heating element to the minimum required temperature; and f. adjusting the precise duration of time or the precise amount of power based on the comparison step to completely vaporize the liquid, wherein if the precise volume of liquid is adjusted, the precise duration of time or the precise amount of power is adjusted to completely vaporize the adjusted precise volume of liquid within a new minimum required temperature for a new minimum required time.
