CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/359,766, filed on Jun. 28, 2021, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/205,269, filed on Nov. 3, 2020 and additionally claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/205,535, filed on Dec. 22, 2020; the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to apparatus and method for consuming aerosols and/or vapors in a manner analogous to the consumption of liquids. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for capturing, portioning, and/or distributing smoke or vapor in single-serving and/or portable containers for consumption. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for capturing, portioning, and/or distributing smoke or vapor in single use or portable containers for consumption by inhalation in a matter that invokes consuming a liquid. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Background Information 
     Throughout history, people have smoked tobacco and other similar materials such as herbal medicines,  cannabis , or the like. Evidence for such activities has been found dating back thousands of years; however, until recently, with the advent of electronic vaporization devices, techniques for consuming such organic materials have remained relatively unchanged. 
     In modern society, consumption of material by smoking is generally given a negative stigma as smoking indoors and around others is highly restricted and consumption of smokable products are highly regulated. Further, as the available consumption techniques are limited, there are inherent physical disadvantages to smoking in addition to these social stigmas conferred by society. For example, consuming a tobacco cigarette in a modern social setting first typically requires the consumer to be outdoors, which, in instances of inclement weather or unfavorable conditions can be a disadvantage in and of itself. Next, the consumer must then ignite the cigarette with a lighter, match, or similar device and then must consume the cigarette by sucking vapor, typically through a filter, before exhaling unwanted byproducts. This technique is difficult and intends to lend negative social and sexual connotations to the act of smoking. 
     Other smoking devices, such as pipes, hookahs, or the like similarly impart negative stigma while further increasing difficulty and/or disadvantages to the consumer. 
     Newer devices, such as vape pens or other electronic smoking implements can be expensive, increase waste material, and may introduce additional health and/or safety concerns. For example, many of these newer devices utilize a glycol based medium to deliver the desired product (e.g. nicotine) to the user which can additionally deliver volatile compounds, heavy metals, chemical flavorants and the like in ultrafine particles which can be inhaled deeply into the lungs. This may lead to additional health concerns. Additionally, burns and explosions cause by defective and/or improperly handled battery units present additional risks for the consumer. 
     When contrasted with other forms of consumption, most notably consumption of liquids including recreational consumption of alcohol, smoking behaviors tend to isolate consumers while more socially acceptable drinking behaviors tend to facilitate group sharing and connection. For example, in a social setting, it is considered much more socially acceptable for a group of individuals to share a round of drinks as compared to a group of individuals sharing a consumable item by smoking. Further, liquid consumption facilitates the ability to divide and distribute a single common portion into individual servings while current smoking technologies do not afford such commonality, distribution, and/or portioning behaviors. Thus, there appear to be significant behavioral benefits regarding posture and comradery that are allowed by liquid consumption technologies that are not as readily available or allowed by current technologies for vapor consumption. 
     SUMMARY 
     The present disclosure addresses these and other issues by providing apparatuses and methods for producing, capturing, portioning, and/or distributing smoke or vapor in a manner analogous to liquid consumption that may allow for social and/or more socially acceptable manners of consumption of vapor products. Further, the present disclosure may provide devices and techniques that readily and easily permit transportation, storage, and/or consumption in more socially acceptable and/or less stigmatized manners similar to liquid consumption. 
     In one aspect, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a method of consuming vapor comprising: extracting volatile oils from an organic material sample in the form of vapor using an extraction device; filling an interior chamber of a container with a volume of liquid; hermetically sealing the container; removing the volume of liquid from the container to draw the vapor from the extraction device and into the interior chamber of the container; and consuming the vapor from the container. 
     In another aspect, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a method of storing and transporting vapor comprising: extracting volatile oils from an organic material sample in the form of vapor using an extraction device; chilling a container to a temperature below ambient temperature; filling an interior chamber of the chilled container with a volume of liquid; removing the volume of liquid from the container to draw the vapor from the extraction device and into the interior chamber of the container; retaining the vapor within the container without a lid; and consuming the vapor from the container. 
     In another aspect, and exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may provide an apparatus for consuming vapor comprising: an extraction device operable to extract vapor from an organic material sample; a fluid vessel having a container defining an interior chamber, the container having a lid with a liquid port and a vapor port defined therein; and a fluid transfer device operable to remove a volume of liquid from the interior chamber of the container to draw the vapor from the extraction device and into the interior chamber of the container for consumption through the vapor port.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     With reference to the figures in general, a vapor extraction and consumption system is shown at  10  and generally referred to herein as vapor system  10  or simply system  10 . At its most basic, system  10  may include three main components, namely, a vapor production device  1 , a fluid vessel  2 , and a fluid storage and transfer device  3 . Each of these specific components will be discussed separately and followed by a discussion of the interaction and operation thereof. 
     With regards to vapor production device  1  and with reference to  FIGS. 1 and 2B-2D , various vapor production devices  1  can be seen and will first be described. 
     Dense vapor is similar to smoke but differs in that it is extracted at temperatures that are typically below the combustion point of cellulose. Current technology for vaporizing essential oils from plant material is limited to hot air convection, which is a process that requires extended time at limited temperatures. At the consumer level, these conditions are typically unattainable as the consumer technology available is limited. As a result, commercially available vapor portions are typically diluted and require multiple servings or an inflated bag. 
     With reference to  FIG. 1 , a first vapor production device  1 A is shown and will be described. Vapor production device  1 A may include an extraction vessel  12  having an outer wall  14  and an inner wall  16  containing an insulation space  18  therebetween. This insulated vessel  12  may further define an interior chamber  20  which may be capped with a plunger  22  having a plunger arm  22 A and body  22 B. Extraction vessel may further include a fan  24  to circulate the air within the interior chamber  20 , a heating element  26  and one or more outlet ports  28 . Outlet port  28  may further include a valve  30 . While the operation of vapor production device  1 A is described further below, as generally seen in  FIG. 1 , a sample  32  of organic material may be placed inside the interior chamber  20  and sealed therein using plunger  22 . 
     Sample  32  may be a sample of organic material or any other suitable material from which vapor may be extracted. According to one aspect, sample  32  may be a plant-based material, including, but not limited to, tobacco, hemp,  cannabis , or the like. 
     Heating element  26  may then heat the air within interior chamber  20  to a temperature of approximately 400 degrees, depending on the type of sample  32  being utilized. Fan  24  may circulate heated air within the interior chamber  20  through the sample  32  to increase the load of desired vapor until the extraction cycle is finished. Vapor then may be transferred out of vapor production device  1 A for consumption through outlet port  28  and valve  30 , as discussed further below. 
     Vapor production device  1  may be formed of any suitable material including glass, metal, or the like or, as contemplated, may be formed of any suitable combination of materials configured to allow heated air to be circulated therein. Vapor production device  1 A may further include any peripheral components or elements as necessary, including a power source for fan and heating elements, as well as any additional components as necessary for the production of vapor. 
     As discussed further below, our utilization of vapor production device  1 A may allow for large volumes of dense vapor to be produced while maintaining the integrity of the vapor. Put another way, using vapor production device  1 A to produce vapor may permit large quantities of vapor to be generated while maintaining the full concentration thereof and may permit production at a consumer or individual user level. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 2B-2D , and as further seen in  FIGS. 4 and 6A-6D , a second vapor production device can be seen and is indicated at reference  1 B. According to this aspect, vapor production device  1 B may be a more simplified extraction vessel  12  having a sample channel  60  with a sample reservoir  62  at a first end thereof. Sample reservoir  62  may have an interior chamber  64 , which may receive a sample  32  therein. Interior chamber may be generally open and may be cone-shaped, cylindrical, bowl-shaped, or may have any suitable shape for containing a sample such as sample  32  therein. The operation of vapor production device  1 B is described further below but may basically entail applying a heat source  84  (best seen in  FIG. 4  at reference  284 ) to a sample  32  while vapor may be extracted utilizing the sample channel  60  and vapor channel  54  of fluid vessel  2 , as discussed further below. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 2A-6D , various fluid vessels  2  are shown and will now be described further. At its most basic, each fluid vessel  2  may be a simple container  34  having an outer wall  36  and an inner wall  38 . Some embodiments may include an insulation space  40  therebetween. 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 2A-2D , a first fluid vessel  2 A/container  34  may generally resemble a tumbler or pint glass and may further define an interior chamber  42 . Vessel  2 A may additionally include a lid  44 , which may interact with the container  34  to provide a hermetic seal for interior chamber  42 , as discussed further below. Accordingly, lid  44  may include a sealing membrane  46 , which may be an O-ring, or similar type membrane  46 , which may further facilitate the hermetic seal. 
     Lid  44  may further include a liquid channel  48  having a liquid port  50  at a top end thereof and a check valve  52  at a lower end thereof. Lid  44  may further include a vapor channel  54  having a vapor port  56  at a top end thereof and a vapor aperture  58  at a bottom end thereof. As discussed further below, with regards to the operation of vapor extraction and consumption system  10 , the liquid channel  48  and vapor channel  54  may permit liquids and vapors to flow therethrough, respectively. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 3B-6D , a second fluid vessel can be seen and is indicated at reference  2 B. According to this aspect, fluid vessel  2 B/container  134  may generally resemble or be a wine glass or snifter-type glass, which may be utilized similarly to fluid vessel  2 A but for its shape and specific configuration, as, discussed further herein. According to another aspect, vessel  2 /container  34  may be drinkware or barware, which may be used for drinking liquids, consuming vapor, or any combination thereof. Where container  134  has a tapered top, such as is shown in the figures, the shape of the vessel  2 B may help contain vapor therein while simultaneously being aesthetically pleasing. 
     Although shown and described with the two examples discussed herein, it will be understood that fluid vessel  2  may generally be any suitable single-serving or multiple servings sized container  34  which may have an interior chamber  42  of sufficient volume to contain liquids and/or dense vapors therein, as discussed below. 
     According to one aspect, lid  44  may be configured to fit multiple types of fluid vessels  2 . Alternatively, a plurality of lid  44  sizes may be readily provided or adapted for different sizes, shapes, and/or configurations of fluid vessels  2 , as dictated by the desired implementation. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 2C-6D , various fluid storage and transfer devices are shown and generally indicated at reference  3 . Fluid storage and transfer devices  3 , at its most basic, may generally be devices utilized for fluid displacement within fluid vessels  2  to draw vapor into fluid vessel  2  for consumption, as discussed further herein. Although a few exemplary embodiments are shown and described below, it will be understood that fluid storage and transfer devices  3  may be any suitable devices and/or may be modified according to the desired implementation and operation thereof. Several examples of use and operation for each device will be described further below with regards to the operation of vapor extraction system  10 , in general. 
     Accordingly, with reference to  FIGS. 2C and 2D , a first storage and transfer device is shown and generally indicated at reference  3 A. Specifically, fluid storage and transfer device  3 A may include a vacuum tube  66 , which may cause a displacement liquid, shown and indicated by the diagonal lines at reference  68 , to move into and/or out of vessel  2  as discussed further below. Vacuum tube  66  may be operable to draw displacement liquid  68  out of a container  34  which, utilizing the principles of fluid displacement, may draw vapor, indicated at reference  70 , into the container  34 , as discussed further below. Further according to this aspect, vacuum tube  66  may be attached to the liquid port  50  of liquid channel  48  at one end and may be connected to a vacuum source (not shown), including a fluid reservoir (not shown, or alternatively shown in  FIGS. 5A-6D  at reference  394  and  494 ), or other similar storage devices which may be in communication with vacuum tube  66 . 
     With reference to  FIGS. 3A-3C , a second fluid storage and transfer device is shown and indicated at reference  3 B. According to this embodiment, the fluid storage and transfer device  3 B may be a bottle or similar vessel, which may allow for storage and transport of a vapor  70  and may further provide a fluid transfer mechanism therewith. Specifically, as seen in  FIGS. 3A-3C , storage and transfer device  3 B may include a vapor reservoir  172 , a sealing member  174 , a bulkhead  176 , and a liquid pump  178  having an activation switch  180 . Each of these components will be more readily understood, as discussed further herein with regards to the operation thereof. 
     With reference to  FIG. 4 , a third fluid storage and transfer device is shown and indicated at reference  3 C. The third fluid storage and transfer device  3 C may utilize a vapor reservoir  272  which may be substantially similar to vapor reservoir  172  in that it may be a bottle or similar device; however, fluid storage and transfer device  3 C may further include a gas canister  286  which may utilize a two-way valve  288  to pass a gas, particularly an inert gas such as N 2 , or the like, through conduit  290  to enact principles of fluid displacement to fill container  234  with vapor  70 . As with other embodiments of fluid storage and transfer device  3 , the device as shown in  FIG. 4  may best be understood with reference to the operation thereof, and will be described further below. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 5A and 5B , a fourth fluid storage and transfer device is shown and generally indicated at reference  3 D. This device may include a vacuum tube  366  in communication with a liquid reservoir  394  but may integrate the liquid channel  348  and vapor channel  354  therein and may be operable to both portion dense vapor  70  through fluid displacement principles without the need for lid  44  to be utilized with container  334 . Specifically, the need for lid  44  may be eliminated by transferring the vapor  70  at a reduced temperature, which, according to one aspect, may be accomplished using chilled glassware that is cooled below ambient temperature. According to another aspect, the vapor may be stored at a reduced temperature as this will permit the container  334  to retain the vapor within interior chamber  342  for a period of five to ten minutes or more, providing a consumer time to consume the vapor at his/her/their convenience. As with the previous fluid storage and transfer device  3 B, the depicted fourth fluid storage and transfer device  3 D may best be understood in relation to the operation thereof, as discussed further below. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 6A-6D , a fifth fluid storage and transfer device is shown and generally indicated at reference  3 E. The fifth fluid storage and transfer device  3 E may further include one or more valve splitters indicated at reference  496 . As depicted, two valve splitters  496  may be utilized with a first valve splitter  496 A utilized with vapor sample channels  460  with a second valve splitter  496 B utilized for liquid transfer. The main difference between the embodiment depicted in  FIGS. 6A-6D  and other embodiments is that the inclusion of valve splitters  496  may permit the filling of multiple containers  434  simultaneously. Again, as with previous embodiments, the elements and components may best be understood through the discussion of the operation thereof, as discussed further below. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 7 and 8 , alternate embodiments of extraction and consumption systems  510  and  601 , and fluid vessels and containers are shown. The vessels and containers are generally referenced as fluid vessels  4 ,  4 A ( FIG. 7 ), and  4 B ( FIG. 8 ) and containers  534  ( FIG. 7 ) and  634  ( FIG. 8 ), respectively. These vessels  4  and containers  534 ,  634 , may be substantially similar to their previous discussed counterparts, but for the differences discussed below. Generally, vessels  4 /containers  534 ,  634  may generally be glassware which may include, rocks glasses, tumblers, pint glasses, stem-ware, wine glasses, snifter glasses, or the like, as well as insulated vessels such as cups, mugs, or the like. Vessels  4 /containers  534 ,  634  may be utilized to consume vapors and/or liquids therefrom, as discussed further herein. 
     With reference to  FIG. 7 , extraction and consumption system  510  with vessel  4 ,  4 A will now be described. As with vessels  2 ,  2 A, and  2 B, vessel  4 ,  4 A may be a modified drinking container, such as a rocks glass (as shown) or the like. Vessel  4 ,  4 A may have a container  534  that may be substantially similar to previous containers (such as containers  34 ,  134 ,  234 , etc.). In particular, container  534  may have an outer wall  536  and an inner wall  538 . Some embodiments may include an insulation space  540 . Container  534  may further define an interior chamber  542 , and may include a lid  544  therewith. 
     Lid  544  may be substantially similar to lid  44  except that lid  544  may omit liquid channel  48 , liquid port  50  and check valve  52 . Similar to lid  44 , lid  544  may still include a vapor channel  554  having a vapor port  556  at the top end thereof and a vapor aperture  558  at a bottom end thereof. Vapor channel  554  may be substantially similar or identical to vapor channel  54  and may allow interaction with a vapor extraction device, such as extraction device  1 ,  1 B, as shown. 
     Although shown as a “rocks” style glass, it will be understood that fluid vessel  4 ,  4 A may generally be any suitable single-serving or multiple servings sized container  534  which may have an interior chamber  542  of sufficient volume to contain liquids and/or dense vapors therein, as discussed further below. 
     Container  534  may differ from previous embodiments described above in that container  534  may have a valve or port  580  defined in the bottom of the container  534 . Port  580  may be any suitable self-sealing or self-closing style of aperture. According to one example, as shown in  FIG. 7 , port  580  may be a self-sealing membrane and may be formed of any suitable food grade and/or food safe material, such as silicone or the like. As shown in  FIG. 7 , port  580  may be substantially planar with the bottom of the container  534 ; however, it will be understood that other forms or modifications can be made to the shape, size, and/or placement of port  580 , as dictated by the desired implementation. According to one example, as shown in  FIG. 8  and discussed further below, port  680  may have a channel  648  including an aperture  650  that may define the port  680 . This may include a one-way valve, a check valve, or any other suitable self-sealing device thereon. According to another example, ports  580  or  680  may be mechanically sealed through self-sealing magnetic engagement or through other similar mechanical connections. According to yet another aspect, ports  580  or  680  may be any suitable or operational combination of valves, membranes, or the like. For example, the fill tube  584 ,  684  may include a magnet operable to draw a second magnet with the container  534 ,  634  downwards to cause a self-sealing membrane to open, allowing the passage of fluid therethrough. Moving the container  534 ,  634  away from the tube magnet will break this bond and the membrane can rebound to again seal the container  534 ,  634  to prevent leakage. 
     In general, port  580  may allow the container  534  to be filled with liquid (such as displacement liquid  68 ) from the bottom using a fluid storage and transfer device  3 ,  3 F, as discussed below. Similarly, port  580  may allow any liquid or other fluids within container  534  to be extracted from the bottom of container  534 . Where container  534  is a glass or other similar container having a flat or substantially flat bottom, port  580  may be integrally formed within the bottom thereof. Where the bottom of container  534  is not flat, or is otherwise extended (e.g. the stem of a wine glass or the like), port  580  may be likewise extended and/or modified for such uses through the use of additional channels or tubes, as desired. Port  580  will be better understood through discussion of the operation and use thereof, which is provided in more detail below. 
     Container  534 , or more particularly port  580 , may interact with a tip  582  of a tube  584 . This tip  582  may be configured to be inserted within port  580  to provide a connection between the interior chamber  542  of container  534  and a liquid channel  586  defined through the interior of tube  584 . This may further allow for interaction between the fluid storage and transfer device  3 F for functional connection and operation therebetween, as discussed below. 
     Fluid storage and transfer device  3 F may be substantially similar to prior embodiments (particularly fluid storage and transfer devices  3 D and  3 E) in that it may have a reservoir  592  filled with or otherwise containing a displacement liquid  68  therein. Fluid storage and transfer device  3 F may differ from prior embodiments in that it may operate from below the container  534 , as discussed below, and may include a base plate or fill plate  588  carried on a top surface  590  of the reservoir  592 . This top surface  590  may be operable to support the fill plate  588  and container  534  thereon when port  580  of the container  534  is engaged with tube  584 . 
     Fluid storage and transfer device  3 E will be understood to include any suitable or necessary components and elements for the proper operation thereof. For example, fluid storage and transfer device  3 E may have one or more pumps or the like to move fluid into and out of the interior chamber  542  of container  534  as described below. Similarly, it will be understood that fluid storage and transfer device  3 E may be scaled or modified to simultaneously support more than one vessel  4  and/or vessel type for operational use thereof. 
     Fill plate  588  may define the proper position of container  534  for operational engagement of tube  584  with port  580  and may have any suitable shape or position, as desired. According to one aspect, fill plate  588  may be substantially circular and may be raised above top surface  590  of fluid storage and transfer device  3 E. While aesthetically pleasing, this raised configuration may further provide a shelf or support surface to further support the container  534  during the filling operation. 
     According to another aspect, fill plate  588  may include sensors, switches, or the like to determine the presence of a container  534  thereon for automatic filling. For example, fill plate  588  may include a scanner, which may interact with a barcode, QR code, or the like provided on the bottom of the container  534 , which may provide information about the container such as volume, type, or the like. This information about the container  534  may allow the system  510  to automatically disperse an exact volume of displacement liquid  68  into the container  534 . According to yet another aspect, fill plate  588  may be an integrated switch, which may be depressed by the action of placing the container  534  thereon, this initiating the filling process. Removing the container  534  therefrom may then allow the integrated switch to reverse and stop the filling process. 
     With reference to  FIG. 8 , extraction and consumption system  610  with another embodiment of vessel  4 ,  4 B is shown having another container  634 . Both vessel  4 B and container  634  may be substantially similar to vessel  4 A and container  534  but for the shape and or size thereof. For example, where vessel  4 A is shown as a “rocks” style glass, vessel  4 B may be a pint glass or tumbler styled container  634 . Additionally, as shown, containers  534  and  634  may differ in the form/operation of ports  580  and  680 , as described herein; however, it will be understood that any suitable port  580 / 680  (or other configurations thereof) may be utilized with any suitable containers  534 ,  634 , or the like. 
     Similarly,  FIG. 8  depicts a modified fluid storage and transfer device  3 ,  3 G which may include a reservoir (not shown) having a top  690  and fill plate  688  thereon. Fluid storage and transfer device  3 G may further include tube  684 , which may be substantially similar to tube  584  and may be operated substantially identically, as described below. 
     In this configuration, fill plate  688  is shown substantially flush or planar with top surface  590  of fluid storage and transfer device  3 G; however, as discussed above with reference to fill plate  588 , fill plate  688  may have any suitable configuration or position, as desired. 
     Having thus described the general elements and components of vapor extraction system  10 , the operation and use of the various embodiments thereof will now be described in more detail. The methods of operation and use described herein may be made with reference to certain embodiments; however, it will be understood that these methods may be utilized with all embodiments equally unless specifically stated otherwise. 
     With reference to  FIG. 1 , vapor production utilizing vapor production device  1 A may be performed according to the following method. As mentioned above, a sample  32  may be placed within the interior chamber  20  of extraction vessel  12  and plunger  22  may be raised or lowered, as indicated by the arrows in  FIG. 1 , to increase or decrease the desired volume of air within interior chamber  20 . Then heating element  26  may be powered on, which may heat the air within interior chamber  20  to a desired temperature, typically around 400 degrees Fahrenheit, while the air is circulated throughout the interior chamber  20  and through sample  32 . 
     As the heated air passes through sample  32 , volatile oils are extracted therefrom and suspended in the air as vapor which may continue to circulate throughout interior chamber  20  as long as fan  24  is powered on. Once a sufficient volume and/or concentration of vapor is produced from sample  32 , valve  30  on outlet port  28  may opened and a volume of vapor may be removed from interior chamber  20 , as desired. Vapor may be removed from extraction vessel  12  through outlet port  28  and valve  30  through any suitable means including vacuum, liquid displacement, or the like, as described further below. According to one aspect, a sufficient volume of vapor may be determined as a volume that is at least sufficient to replace an entire volume of liquid within a container  34 . This volume may vary depending upon the desired implementation and/or amount of vapor desired to be consumed in a serving. Similarly, a sufficient concentration of volatile oils within the vapor may be any desired concentration and may vary depending upon specific tastes of the consumer, the specific type of organic material used as sample  32 , or other similar factors. According to one example, a sufficient concentration may be a concentration wherein a desired flavor is imparted into the vapor from the oils. According to another example, a sufficient concentration may be a saturation concentration wherein no additional volatile oils may be suspended within the vapor. 
     Plunger  22  may be raised or lowered according as indicated by the arrows in  FIG. 1  to expand the volume of interior chamber  20 , which may lower the air pressure within the interior chamber which may, in turn, lower the vapor point of the essential oils within sample  32  making it easier and more efficient to extract those essential oils. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 2B-2D, 4, and 6A-6D , vapor production utilizing second vapor production device  1 B may be accomplished by placing a sample, such as a sample  32 , within the interior chamber  64  of vapor production device  1 B. Then, a heat source  84  (depicted in  FIG. 4  as heat source  284  and in  FIG. 6B  as heat source  484 ) may be applied to the sample to cause the essential oils therein to be extracted therefrom as vapor. Simultaneously, utilizing fluid displacement methods as discussed below, this vapor may be pulled through sample channel  60  and out of the vapor production device  1 B. 
     Utilizing vapor production device  1 A may allow for continuous production and extraction of vapor as desired and may be useful in scenarios where refills and multiple servings of vapor may be produced, while vapor extraction device  1 B is contemplated for producing smaller and/or single servings of vapor for consumption as desired. It will be understood, however, that vapor devices  1 A and  1 B may be interchangeable depending upon the desired implementation and use thereof. Alternatively, other vapor production devices not described or discussed herein may be utilized with the fluid transfer methods described below, provided they can generate sufficient volumes of vapor from a sample while maintaining a desired concentration thereof. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 2A-2D , a first method of vapor transfer utilizing fluid vessel  2 A and fluid storage and transfer device  3 A will now be described. Specifically, vapor may be produced utilizing either vapor production device  1 A or  1 B while the container  34  may be filled or partially filled with a liquid such as displacement liquid  68 . While displacement liquid  68  is contemplated to be consumable, according to this embodiment, displacement liquid  68  is not to be consumed with the vapor (as contrasted with consumable liquid  82 , discussed further herein). According to one aspect, displacement liquid  68  may be water. 
     The volume of interior chamber  42  of container  34  that is prefilled with displacement liquid  68  may define a similar volume of vapor  70  that will occupy space within interior chamber  42  of container  34 . As best seen in  FIGS. 2C and 2D , fluid storage and transfer device  3 A may be connected to lid  44  as to provide a seal around liquid channel  48  and liquid port  50 . Then fluid storage and transfer device  3 A may be activated such that vacuum tube  66  may draw the displacement liquid  68  up through liquid channel  48  and out of container  34 . The force of the liquid being drawn out of interior chamber  42  of container  34  may force check valve  52  of liquid channel  48  open, allowing displacement liquid  68  to flow freely from container  34 . 
     Since the container  34  is hermetically sealed by lid  44  and membrane  46 , the drawing of displacement liquid  68  out of the interior chamber  42  would create a vacuum effect that would draw vapor  70  out of a vapor production device  1  and into interior chamber  42  of container  34 , as seen best in  FIG. 2D . Once all displacement liquid  68  is removed from container and replaced by vapor  70 , the fluid storage and transfer device  3 A may be disconnected, as may be vapor production device  1 , and the vapor port  56  may then be utilized to sip or consume the vapor contained within interior chamber  42  of container  34 . Specifically, the vapor  70  may then be drawn out of interior chamber  42  through vapor aperture  58  and vapor port  56  through the act of “sipping” by the end consumer. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 3A-3C , a second embodiment of vapor system  110  utilizing second fluid vessel  2 B and second fluid storage and transfer device  3 B is shown and will now be described. Specifically, this embodiment assumes vapor  70  is produced and transferred into a storage container  3 B, as best seen in  FIG. 3A , and may be transported to any desired location. According to this embodiment, liquid channel  148  and vapor channel  154  may extend both into fluid vessel  2 B and fluid storage and transfer device  3 B to allow displacement flow of displacement liquid  68  and vapor  70  therebetween. To further facilitate such fluid displacement, fluid storage and transfer device  3 B may include a liquid pump  178 , which may be operable to draw displacement liquid  68  out of fluid vessel  2  causing vapor  70  to transfer therein. Specifically, fluid vessel  2 B may be provided with a volume of displacement liquid contained therein while fluid storage and transfer device  3 B may be inverted such that liquid channel  148  and vapor channel  154  connect and create a continuous channel between fluid vessel  2 B and fluid storage and transfer device  3 B. Then utilizing activation switch  180 , liquid pump  178  may be activated to, again, draw displacement liquid out of fluid vessel  2 B and into fluid storage and transfer device  3 B while simultaneously causing vapor  70  to be transferred into interior chamber  142  of container  134 . Again, when the desired volume of vapor  70  replaces the displacement liquid  68 , the fluid storage and transfer device  3 B may be removed from the fluid vessel  2 B and vapor  70  may be consumed therefrom. 
     With reference to  FIG. 4 , a third embodiment of vapor system  210  and a method of transferring vapor for consumption is shown and will be described. Specifically, as seen in  FIG. 4 , vapor system  210  may utilize a modified third fluid storage and/or transfer device indicated at  3 C with a fluid vessel such as fluid vessel  2 B; however, according to this aspect, the displacement liquid  68  may be replaced with a consumable liquid  82 . Again, as discussed above, displacement liquid  68  may be consumable in that it is safe for consumption; however, it is not intended to be consumed. Consumable liquid  82  may be intended to be consumed with vapor  70 . According to one example, consumable liquid  82  may be a spirit or wine, which may be complementary to the type of vapor being consumed to enhance the consumption experience with additional flavors, textures, mouthfeel or the like. Accordingly, fluid storage and transfer device  3  may be utilized with consumable liquid  82  and a volume of consumable liquid  82  may be placed within container  234  and then drawn out therefrom to draw vapor  70  in through vapor channel  254  and into interior chamber  242  of container  234 . 
     An additional feature illustrated in  FIG. 4  is the use of a separate device to cause fluid transfer between fluid vessel  2 B and fluid storage and transfer device  3 C in the form of a separate gas canister  286  having a valve  288  attached thereto. Specifically, gas canister  286  may direct an inert gas, such as nitrogen or the like, through a conduit  290  and into and/or out of fluid storage and transfer device  3 C to effect fluid displacement principles to transfer consumable liquid  82  between fluid storage and transfer device  3 C and container  234 . This may allow fluid storage and transfer device  3 C to remain upright, minimizing the chance that consumable liquid  82  is spilled or otherwise wasted. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 5A and 5B , a fourth embodiment of vapor system  310  and fluid storage and transfer device  3 D is shown and will be described. As contemplated, this may be a commercial or more permanent style vapor system  310 , which may allow quick and easily repeatable portions of vapor to be produced and provided. Specifically, a fluid vessel, such as fluid vessel  2 B, may be partially filled with a volume of displacement liquid  68  (or consumable liquid  82 , as desired) and may be raised to create a seal between the top of container  334  and the vacuum tube  366  of fluid storage and transfer device  3 D, as best seen in  FIG. 5B . At this point, vacuum tube  366  may draw displacement liquid  68  from container  34  and into a reservoir  394  through liquid channel  348  while simultaneously transferring vapor  70  from a separate vapor channel  354  and vapor aperture  358  and into interior  342  of container  334 . This system may similarly utilize fluid displacement techniques but may be in communication with a vapor storage (not shown) or may be similarly connected to a vapor production device such as vapor production device  1 A operable to continuously or semi-continuously produce vapor from samples  32 . This system is contemplated for use in establishments where multiple servings of vapor may be provided over an extended period of time. However, the principles of fluid transfer remain similar as with other embodiments wherein the removal of displacement liquid  68  from interior chamber  342  may cause vapor  70  to be pulled therein for consumption. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 6A-6C , a fifth embodiment of extraction and consumption system  410  is shown and will now be described. A fifth embodiment of fluid storage and transfer device is indicated at reference  3 E, which may be substantially similar to the device of  3 D; however, it may further include valve splitter  496  which may allow multiple containers  434 , such as a first container  434 A and a second container  434 B, to be filled simultaneously. These valve splitters  496 A and B may optionally include a pump therein to further facilitate the movement of fluids between first and second channels, such as first liquid channel  448 A and second liquid channel  448 B and/or vapor channels  460 A and  460 B. As shown, such a device may be utilized with a vapor production device  1 B or the like; however, it will be understood that vapor production device  1 A may be readily connected and operated therewith. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 7 and 8 , the operation of extraction and consumption systems  510  and  610 , along with fluid storage and transfer devices  3 F and  3 G will now be described. Collectively, the two fluid storage and transfer devices  3 F and  3 G will be referred to as the “bottom fill” devices and references thereto are equally applicable unless specifically stated otherwise. Accordingly, the operation of bottom fill devices  3 F and  3 G will be described with reference to vessel  4 A and container  534 ; however, it will be understood that these references are general to the operation and that any of the vessels  4  can be utilized with the bottom fill devices  3 F and  3 G. 
     The bottom fill devices  3 F and  3 G may operate in a very similar manner to the previously discussed fluid storage and transfer devices but for their filling and extraction of the displacement liquid  68  through the bottom of containers  534  and/or  634 . Accordingly, container  534  may be moved over the bottom fill devices  3 F,  3 G and aligned such that port  580  is directly above the tip  582  or tube  584 . Container may be lowered onto tip  582 , which may mechanically cause the port  580  to open. For example, where port  580  is a self-sealing membrane, tip  582  may “pierce” the membrane and be inserted into the interior chamber  542  of container  534 . Where port  580  is a different type of self-sealing device, tip  582  may mechanically interact with the device to cause the same insertion of tube  584  into interior chamber  542  of container  534 . 
     Once tube  584  is inserted into port  580 , displacement liquid  68  may be moved from the reservoir  592  and into the interior chamber  542  of container  534 . As with other embodiments, vapor may be generated using a vapor generating device  1 , as described herein. As shown in  FIGS. 7 and 8 , the vapor device illustrated is device  1 B; however, bottom fill devices  3 F and  3 G may operate equally as well with any suitable vapor generating device. 
     Once vapor is being generated, displacement liquid  68  may be extracted from the container  534  and back into reservoir  592  through tube  584 . The movement of displacement liquid  68  out of the interior chamber  542  of container  534  will draw vapor into the chamber  542 . Once the desired volume of vapor is in the chamber  542 , container  534  may be removed from the tube  584  and the vapor may be consumed as described herein with other vessels. 
     The removal of container  534  from tube  584  may cause port  580  to close, creating a tight seal to prevent the leakage of vapor and/or liquid out of chamber  542  through port  580 . 
     As with other embodiments, the bottom fill extraction and consumption systems  510  and  610  may be used with consumable liquids, combinations of liquids and vapors, or with vapors. Similarly, containers  534  and/or  634  may be utilized with other filling and consumption methods described herein, including top filing devices, by switching lids (e.g. swapping lid  44  in for lid  544 , etc.). Accordingly, it will be understood that the bottom fill devices  3 F and  3 G are contemplated for use with containers that have bottom ports  580 ; however, containers may be interchangeable and/or readily modified for use with any style of fluid storage and transfer device, as desired. Similarly, fluid storage and transfer devices  3 F and  3 G may be readily modified or adapted for use in other situations, such as filling containers with consumable liquids, and/or in conjunction with other fluid storage and transfer devices. 
     Although shown in various examples and exemplary embodiments, it will be understood that features and components of the various extraction and consumption systems  10 ,  110 ,  210 ,  310 ,  410 ,  510 , and/or  610  may be combined, omitted, replaced, interchanged, and/or otherwise utilized as dictated by the desired implementation. 
     Accordingly, a generalized method of vapor production and consumption will now be described. First, vapor may be produced utilizing a vapor production device such as vapor production devices  1 A and/or  1 B. This vapor may be stored in a storage device and/or transferred directly into a vessel for consumption utilizing fluid displacement techniques wherein a first fluid, such as a displacement liquid  68 , may occupy a portion of a container  34  which may be hermetically sealed before connecting container  34  to the vapor source, at which point the displacement liquid  68  may be mechanically removed from the interior of container  34 , thus creating a vacuum which may draw vapor out of vapor production device and into the interior chamber of a container. Once the desired volume of vapor is transferred into a container, the vapor may be consumed akin to drinking a liquid by a consumer or user taking “sips” of vapor. This may facilitate easier and more socially acceptable methods of consuming vapor and vaporized products. 
     Various embodiments and components are described in relation to their operation both above and in further detail below; however, it will be understood that many elements and components of vapor system  10  may be interchangeable between embodiments (e.g. systems  110 ,  210 ,  310 ,  410 ,  510 , and/or  610 ) and/or may be utilized interchangeably and/or with other similar systems. For example, fluid vessels  2  may be generally considered to be interchangeable with the various embodiments of fluid storage and transfer devices  3 . Similarly, vapor production devices  1  may be utilized with any suitable fluid vessel  2  and/or any suitable fluid storage and transfer device  3  without deviating from the scope of the disclosure herein. It will be further understood that the element and components of vapor system  10  may be generally formed of any suitable material and/or have other shapes or configurations besides those described herein, as dictated by the desired implementation. According to one example, conduits may be glass, metal, plastic, or other similar materials and may vary depending upon both the desired operation and/or the desired aesthetic properties of a specific implementation. For example, where system  10  may be configured for individual consumer operation and use such as in an individual&#39;s home, components may be more utilitarian and less aesthetic while implementations for use in public settings such as bars, smoke shops/cigar lounges, or the like may be more elaborate or aesthetically pleasing while still maintaining the appropriate functionality, as discussed further below. 
     It will be further understood that system  10  may be adapted for individual, commercial, or any other suitable or desired use thereof and may include components of any suitable size, as desired. For example, portable systems may include single serving fluid vessels  2  and/or fluid storage and transfer devices  3  while commercial systems  10 , contemplated for use on the premises, may utilize larger vessels  2  and/or fluid storage and transfer devices  3 . Further, the size of various components may vary across implementations such that two similar systems may be sized differently according to the expected use thereof. For example, a high volume commercial establishment may utilize a larger fluid reservoir  94  and/or vapor production device  1  while an individual or smaller commercial establishment may utilize smaller components while both may maintain similarly sized vessels  2  and/or fluid storage and transfer devices  3 . 
     Various inventive concepts may be embodied as one or more methods, of which an example has been provided. The acts performed as part of the method may be ordered in any suitable way. Accordingly, embodiments may be constructed in which acts are performed in an order different than illustrated, which may include performing some acts simultaneously, even though shown as sequential acts in illustrative embodiments. 
     While various inventive embodiments have been described and illustrated herein, those of ordinary skill in the art will readily envision a variety of other means and/or structures for performing the function and/or obtaining the results and/or one or more of the advantages described herein, and each of such variations and/or modifications is deemed to be within the scope of the inventive embodiments described herein. More generally, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that all parameters, dimensions, materials, and configurations described herein are meant to be exemplary and that the actual parameters, dimensions, materials, and/or configurations will depend upon the specific application or applications for which the inventive teachings is/are used. Those skilled in the art will recognize, or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific inventive embodiments described herein. It is, therefore, to be understood that the foregoing embodiments are presented by way of example only and that, within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereto, inventive embodiments may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described and claimed. Inventive embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to each individual feature, system, article, material, kit, and/or method described herein. In addition, any combination of two or more such features, systems, articles, materials, kits, and/or methods, if such features, systems, articles, materials, kits, and/or methods are not mutually inconsistent, is included within the inventive scope of the present disclosure. 
     All definitions, as defined and used herein, should be understood to control over dictionary definitions, definitions in documents incorporated by reference, and/or ordinary meanings of the defined terms. 
     The articles “a” and “an,” as used herein in the specification and in the claims, unless clearly indicated to the contrary, should be understood to mean “at least one.” The phrase “and/or,” as used herein in the specification and in the claims (if at all), should be understood to mean “either or both” of the elements so conjoined, i.e., elements that are conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases. Multiple elements listed with “and/or” should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., “one or more” of the elements so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified by the “and/or” clause, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to “A and/or B”, when used in conjunction with open-ended language such as “comprising” can refer, in one embodiment, to A only (optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to B only (optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to both A and B (optionally including other elements); etc. As used herein in the specification and in the claims, “or” should be understood to have the same meaning as “and/or” as defined above. For example, when separating items in a list, “or” or “and/or” shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the inclusion of at least one, but also including more than one, of a number or list of elements, and, optionally, additional unlisted items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as “only one of” or “exactly one of,” or, when used in the claims, “consisting of,” will refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of a number or list of elements. In general, the term “or” as used herein shall only be interpreted as indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e. “one or the other but not both”) when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as “either,” “one of,” “only one of,” or “exactly one of.” “Consisting essentially of,” when used in the claims, shall have its ordinary meaning as used in the field of patent law. 
     As used herein in the specification and in the claims, the phrase “at least one,” in reference to a list of one or more elements, should be understood to mean at least one element selected from any one or more of the elements in the list of elements, but not necessarily including at least one of each and every element specifically listed within the list of elements and not excluding any combinations of elements in the list of elements. This definition also allows that elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified within the list of elements to which the phrase “at least one” refers, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, “at least one of A and B” (or, equivalently, “at least one of A or B,” or, equivalently “at least one of A and/or B”) can refer, in one embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, with no B present (and optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, B, with no A present (and optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, and at least one, optionally including more than one, B (and optionally including other elements); etc. 
     When a feature or element is herein referred to as being “on” another feature or element, it can be directly on the other feature or element or intervening features and/or elements may also be present. In contrast, when a feature or element is referred to as being “directly on” another feature or element, there are no intervening features or elements present. It will also be understood that, when a feature or element is referred to as being “connected”, “attached” or “coupled” to another feature or element, it can be directly connected, attached or coupled to the other feature or element or intervening features or elements may be present. In contrast, when a feature or element is referred to as being “directly connected”, “directly attached” or “directly coupled” to another feature or element, there are no intervening features or elements present. Although described or shown with respect to one embodiment, the features and elements so described or shown can apply to other embodiments. It will also be appreciated by those of skill in the art that references to a structure or feature that is disposed “adjacent” another feature may have portions that overlap or underlie the adjacent feature. 
     Spatially relative terms, such as “under”, “below”, “lower”, “over”, “upper”, “above”, “behind”, “in front of”, and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature&#39;s relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is inverted, elements described as “under” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “over” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term “under” can encompass both an orientation of over and under. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly. Similarly, the terms “upwardly”, “downwardly”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “lateral”, “transverse”, “longitudinal”, and the like are used herein for the purpose of explanation only unless specifically indicated otherwise. 
     Although the terms “first” and “second” may be used herein to describe various features/elements, these features/elements should not be limited by these terms, unless the context indicates otherwise. These terms may be used to distinguish one feature/element from another feature/element. Thus, a first feature/element discussed herein could be termed a second feature/element, and similarly, a second feature/element discussed herein could be termed a first feature/element without departing from the teachings of the present invention. 
     An embodiment is an implementation or example of the present disclosure. Reference in the specification to “an embodiment,” “one embodiment,” “some embodiments,” “one particular embodiment,” “an exemplary embodiment,” or “other embodiments,” or the like, means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments is included in at least some embodiments, but not necessarily all embodiments, of the invention. The various appearances “an embodiment,” “one embodiment,” “some embodiments,” “one particular embodiment,” “an exemplary embodiment,” or “other embodiments,” or the like, are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiments. 
     If this specification states a component, feature, structure, or characteristic “may”, “might”, or “could” be included, that particular component, feature, structure, or characteristic is not required to be included. If the specification or claim refers to “a” or “an” element, that does not mean there is only one of the element. If the specification or claims refer to “an additional” element, that does not preclude there being more than one of the additional element. 
     As used herein in the specification and claims, including as used in the examples and unless otherwise expressly specified, all numbers may be read as if prefaced by the word “about” or “approximately,” even if the term does not expressly appear. The phrase “about” or “approximately” may be used when describing magnitude and/or position to indicate that the value and/or position described is within a reasonable expected range of values and/or positions. For example, a numeric value may have a value that is +/−0.1% of the stated value (or range of values), +/−1% of the stated value (or range of values), +/−2% of the stated value (or range of values), +/−5% of the stated value (or range of values), +/−10% of the stated value (or range of values), etc. Any numerical range recited herein is intended to include all sub-ranges subsumed therein. 
     Additionally, the method of performing the present disclosure may occur in a sequence different than those described herein. Accordingly, no sequence of the method should be read as a limitation unless explicitly stated. It is recognizable that performing some of the steps of the method in a different order could achieve a similar result. 
     In the claims, as well as in the specification above, all transitional phrases such as “comprising,” “including,” “carrying,” “having,” “containing,” “involving,” “holding,” “composed of,” and the like are to be understood to be open-ended, i.e., to mean including but not limited to. Only the transitional phrases “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of” shall be closed or semi-closed transitional phrases, respectively. 
     In the foregoing description, certain terms have been used for brevity, clearness, and understanding. No unnecessary limitations are to be implied therefrom beyond the requirement of the prior art because such terms are used for descriptive purposes and are intended to be broadly construed. 
     Moreover, the description and illustration of various embodiments of the disclosure are examples and the disclosure is not limited to the exact details shown or described.
