         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises nicotine, caffeine, a cannabinoid, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the nutraceutical composition comprises a vitamin, a mineral, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the plant extract comprises a botanical antioxidant, a cannabis extract, a tobacco extract, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises water or a water-based solution. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 5 , wherein the water is selected from one or more of distilled water, purified water, spring water, tap water, water subjected to reverse osmosis, heated water, water treated with vibrational frequencies, cooled water, and water treated with at least one other element. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1 , further comprising an emulsifier, a surfactant, a stabilizer, a flavorant, a wellness element, a recreational element, a medicinal element, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 7 , wherein the agent, emulsifier, surfactant, stabilizer, and/or flavorant are substantially dissolved in the solvent. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 7 , wherein the agent, emulsifier, surfactant, stabilizer, and/or tiavorant are suspended in the solvent. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid is a colloidal suspension 
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition is configured for use in an electronic vapor system. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 11 , wherein the electronic vapor system comprises an electronic cigarette, an electronic cigar, an electronic vapor modified device, a hybrid electronic vapor device coupled/integrated with a communication device, an electronic vapor pipe, a micro-sized electronic vapor device, or a robotic electronic vapor device. 
     
     
         13 . A method of making a vaporizable liquid composition, the method comprising the step of combining a solvent and at least one agent selected from a pharmaceutical composition, a nutraceutical composition, and a plant extract, wherein the vaporizable liquid composition is substantially free of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), thereby making a vaporizable liquid composition. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the agent is substantially dissolved in the solvent after the combining step. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the agent is suspended in the solvent after the combining step. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the agent remains uniformly dispersed in the solvent after the combining step. 
     
     
         17 . A method of volatizing a vaporizable liquid composition, the method comprising the steps of:
 (a) receiving the vaporizable liquid composition at a dispersing element, wherein the vaporizable liquid composition comprises:
 (i) at least one solvent comprising water, a water-based solution, an alcohol, or a combination thereof; and 
 (ii) at least one agent selected from a pharmaceutical composition, a nutraceutical composition, and a plant extract, wherein the vaporizable liquid composition is substantially free of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG); and 
   (b) dispersing the vaporizable liquid composition,   thereby volatizing the composition.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the dispersing element comprises a piezoelectric dispersing element. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the dispersing element comprises a heated coil element. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the exhaust port comprises one or more of a plurality of grated exits configured to facilitate the dispersal of vapor, a single opening, and a pump and perforated nozzle system.
