1. A computing system configured for resupplying vaporization devices, comprising:
one or more processors;
a program memory communicatively connected to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to:
obtain vaporization usage data generated by a vaporization device, the vaporization usage data indicating use of a vaporizable content of a cartridge separate from and removably connected to the vaporization device by (i) obtaining a unique cartridge identifier from a cartridge memory of the cartridge at a time of initial use of the cartridge and (ii) authenticating the cartridge using the unique cartridge identifier;
associate the vaporization usage data with a user record of a vaporization device user based upon the unique cartridge identifier, the user record containing user data that indicates a rate of consumption of a type of vaporizable content by the vaporization device user and the vaporization usage data including the time of initial use of the cartridge;
determine an estimated remaining supply of the type of vaporizable content possessed by the vaporization device user at a determination time associated with occurrence of a condition associated with the cartridge based upon the vaporization usage data and the user record, including (i) determining a time elapsed since the time of initial use of the cartridge exceeds an expiration threshold and (ii) excluding the cartridge from the estimated remaining supply based upon such determination that the time elapsed has exceeded the expiration threshold, wherein the condition comprises receiving an additional usage data message generated upon activation of the vaporization device when the cartridge is not connected to the vaporization device;
determine to resupply one or more cartridges of the type of vaporizable content based upon the estimated remaining supply and the rate of consumption; and
perform an action to facilitate obtaining a replacement cartridge of the type of vaporizable content.
