32 Claims

1. A vaporizer device, comprising:

at least one pressure sensor configured to measure a first pressure in an air flow path in the vaporizer device and configured to measure a second pressure corresponding to an atmospheric pressure; and

a controller configured to at least:

transition the vaporizer device to a first standby mode when the first pressure is equal to or greater than the second pressure for a first threshold quantity of time; and

while the vaporizer device is in the first standby mode, transition the vaporizer device to a second standby mode when the first pressure is equal to or greater than the second pressure and no motion event is detected for a second threshold quantity of time.
