    Yes, where “process” means measuring instantaneous changes in airflow as the user inhales (or doesn’t), and regulating a heating coil accordingly by running actual program code - which requires a controller to run it and memory to store it in. I mean when you click “Reply” on this page all it has to do is process one button, but that involves a lot.

      All that logic is still a choice though. You could also just instruct the user to not press the button unless they’re inhaling and just actually have it be an on and of button. That’s how vapes used to work. Worst thing that could happen there is that you burn the wick, which is only a problem because it’s not serviceable.
