As vaporization technology progresses, people increasingly seem to notice individual vape 'signatures' reflecting taste, heat retention and other factors. As certain models inevitably become outdated and get discontinued, some may find themselves feeling nostalgic for a favorite old vape.
When digital audio came along, while the signal clarity improved, many claimed (and still claim) that it sounds sterile compared to the warmth of analog. Despite the use of sample rates that can reproduce a dog whistle (out of human hearing), analog stalwarts still love that 'toasty' tape sound...and if you like anything recorded before the mid 80's, so do you! Question is, do you still love that 'toasty' vape taste?
A Vape Emulator (VE) would do for vaporizers what analog emulators have done for music tech. Instead of modeling the distortion a vacuum tube amp gives your guitar sound, a VE would model the heat retention and temperature response of classic vaporizers. While a modern halogen-based micro-controlled vape (lookin' at you, herbie!) might provide the utmost in temperature control technology, people may want to change up their vape's taste profile. While using a "Purple Days Modeler" preset, the heater would respond more like the classic out-of-production vape. Instead of actively adjusting the temperature many times per second, the vape would just blindly put out heat, allowing the user to really roast their product.
Obviously this would be a total luxury on a high-end niche product, but it would be cool, right?
