1. A system for managing concentrate usage, the system comprising:
a vaporizer comprising:
a housing comprising;
a cartridge configured to store a concentrate, wherein the cartridge comprises a concentrate storage vessel, a nozzle, at one end, a smart chip configured on the nozzle to track and record concentrate dose amount in a concentrate storage vessel, said smart chip comprising an identification code associated with the concentrate, and a dosing mechanism at other end, the dosing mechanism comprises a plunger driver, a pawl, and a plunger, and wherein upon rotation of a dosing wheel by a user, the plunger driver drives the plunger within the cartridge to release a predefined quantity of the concentrate through the nozzle;
a control unit configured to read the identification code from the smart chip and control operation of an oven;
a vapor detection system comprising IR emitter and detector configured to detect concentrate vapor in a conduit upon a user inhalation of vaporized concentrate; and
a communication unit coupled to the control unit, wherein the communication unit transmits the identification code to a user device;
a central server comprising a database storing a plurality of identification codes against a plurality of concentrate information, wherein the central server is configured to:
receive the identification code from the user device;
retrieve concentrate information corresponding the received identification code from the database; and
transmit the retrieved concentrate information to the user device.
