A vaporization device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first body defining a first interior volume, a first half of a split-pod, a second half of a split-pod, an opening, a first heating apparatus, and a second heating apparatus. The first half of the split-pod is configured to hold a nicotine-containing liquid. The second half of the split-pod is configured to hold a non-nicotine-containing liquid. The opening separates the first half from the second half of the split-pod. The first heating apparatus is dedicated to the first half. The second heating apparatus is dedicated to the second half. The second portion includes a second body defining a second interior volume and a computing system. The computing system is disposed within the second interior volume. The computing system is configured to vary an amount of current supplied to the first and second heating apparatuses.

There is provided an electrical charger device and method performed by an electrical charger device for an electronic cigarette.
