>It's still producing a metered dose that's probably comparable to other doses from the same cart.

not really, dosing is dictated not only by time but by coil temperature, drag pressure, drag volume, coil wicking, etc.

if you have a 3 second timer vape, like the dosit, these variables add enough error that the actual medical dosages vary wildly.

An easy example : hit a vape with a timer over and over again. the last hits will almost always have a much strong mouth and denser vapor than the hits prior -- this is because the coil and vaporization 'areas' are now pre-heated from the previous hits and require less energy overall for the same dosage, but this rate varies so wildly that it's an extremely difficult task for a vaporizer to be as dynamic as the dosing rate errors.

this was supposed to get fixed with temperature controlled coils, but it only helps things a bit. What someone needs to do is make a vape profile that'll create a dynamic drag time based off of those error variables, but I have yet to encounter such a device.
