A24F 40/10 - Devices using liquid inhalable precursors
An electronic smoking device is disclosed comprising a chip that includes a fluid inlet. The fluid inlet can include a depression formed in a first surface of the chip. A fluidic channel can extend from the fluid inlet through the chip to a fluid outlet formed in a second surface of the chip. A heating element can be disposed on the second surface of the chip proximate to the fluid outlet.
The present invention relates generally to electronic smoking devices and in particular electronic cigarettes. A mouthpiece for an electronic smoking device has an elongated housing having ports at opposite ends; a central passage formed as a hollow channel through the housing in communication with the ports, contact terminals for connecting to a battery of the electronic smoking device and conductive elements connected to the contact terminals, the conductive elements being configured for connecting, to the battery, an tempering element for tempering an aerosol produced by the electronic smoking device. Using the tempering element, aerosol passing through the central passage can be tempered and loss of aerosol due to condensation is reduced.
An electronic smoking device includes a housing, a receiving unit for the reception of a solid smoking material and a primary heating element. The primary heating element and the receiving unit are arranged adjacent to one another. The electronic smoking device further comprises a positioning element for forcing solid smoking material inserted in the receiving unit towards the primary heating element. Solid smoking material within the receiving unit which is forced towards the primary heating element by the positioning element is liquefied and atomized by the primary heating element. The receiving unit, the primary heating element and the positioning element are arranged within the housing.
