A control method of the evaporator is also provided. The pipe bowl container is convenient for cleaning, and the control circuit receives signals from different trigger paths to heat the heating element, so as to make the heating working state of the control and operation of the heating element more concise and convenient.
Charging adapter for vaporizer device
A charging adapter assembly for charging a vaporizer device is described herein. In some embodiments, the charging adapter may include a housing including a coupling end configured to couple to the vaporizer device. The coupling end of the housing may include a chamber having a base and at least one chamber wall defining a perimeter of the chamber. The base may include at least one charging contact. The charging adapter may include a power adapter extending from the housing. The power adapter may be configured to provide an electrical pathway between a power source and the at least one charging contact. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
Vaporizer apparatus having both a vacuum pump and a heating element, and method of using same
A vaporizer apparatus includes a pump housing, a main housing containing an evacuation chamber, and an operation unit attached to the main housing. The operation unit selectively isolates the evacuation chamber from communication with an air inlet. At least one vacuum pump is operable to generate a vacuum in the evacuation chamber, while a heating element also operates. A mouthpiece is attached to the main housing, and may be selectively placed in communication with the evacuation chamber. When oil is placed in the evacuation chamber and the operation unit is operated, the evacuation chamber is temporarily sealed off from the inlet, creating a vacuum sealed chamber connected with the pump(s). Then, the pump(s) is/are activated to reduce pressure in the evacuation chamber, and the oil is vaporized at reduced pressure and at an elevated temperature. When the operation unit is released, the evacuation chamber is emptied via the mouthpiece.
Aerosol-generating device with detachably insertable heating compartment
An aerosol-generating device is provided, including a housing having a chamber; an induction coil disposed around at least a portion of the chamber; a heating compartment configured to receive an aerosol-generating article and being detachably insertable into the chamber of the housing, the heating compartment including a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the aerosol-generating article; and a heating element arrangeable within the cavity of the heating compartment, the heating element extending into the cavity in a longitudinal direction of the cavity, and being configured to penetrate an aerosol-forming substrate in the aerosol-generating article and received in the cavity.
Shisha device with aerosol condensation
A method includes generating an aerosol by heating, without combusting, an aerosol generating substrate (300) in a shisha device (100). The method further includes introducing at least one aerosol condensation particle to an airflow path (103) of the shisha device. The airflow path (103) carries the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating substrate to an outlet (104) of the shisha device for delivery to a user.
Electrically operated aerosol generation system
An aerosol generation system for generation of an aerosol from an aerosol-forming precursor includes an electrically operated heating system to heat the precursor to generate the aerosol, a flow path for transmission of flow, including the aerosol, to a user, the heating system arranged in fluid communication with the flow path, and electrical circuitry. The electrical circuitry is configured to determine a feature of an oscillation associated with a property of electrical energy through the heating system, the oscillation due to initiation and/or termination of a user inhale through the flow path, and to determine an amount of one or more components of aerosol dispensed in the inhale based on the feature of the oscillation.
Inductive heating arrangement
An inductive heating arrangement for heating smokable material includes a susceptor arrangement, at least first and second inductor coils and a control circuit. The first inductor coil generates a first varying magnetic field heating a first section of the susceptor arrangement and the second inductor coil generates a second varying magnetic field heating a second section of the susceptor arrangement. The control circuit is configured so that when one of the first and second coils is actively being driven to generate a varying magnetic field the other of the first and second inductor coils is inactive, and so that the inactive one of the first and second inductor coils is prevented from carrying a current induced by the active one of the first and second inductor coils sufficient to cause significant heating of the susceptor arrangement.
Device for holding smoking member, and smoking member system
Provided is a smoking member supporting device which is placed in an arrangement region with or without a smoking member mounted thereon, the smoking member supporting device including a base unit including an arrangement surface corresponding to the arrangement region; an accommodating unit formed adjacent to the base unit and configured to accommodate at least one region of the smoking member; a hook unit formed at an edge of the accommodating unit to define the accommodating unit and to maintain a state that the smoking member is accommodated in the accommodating unit and mounted; and a connecting unit formed to face the smoking member when the smoking member is accommodated in the accommodating unit and to supply electrical energy to the smoking member.
Non-nicotine pod assemblies and non-nicotine e-vaping devices
A non-nicotine e-vaping device may include a non-nicotine pod assembly and a device body. The non-nicotine pod assembly has upstream and downstream ends and is configured to hold a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The upstream end may define at least one upstream recess, and the downstream end may define at least one downstream recess. The device body defines a through hole configured to receive the non-nicotine pod assembly. The through hole includes an upstream sidewall and a downstream sidewall. The upstream sidewall may include at least one upstream protrusion, and the downstream sidewall may include at least one downstream protrusion. The at least one upstream protrusion and the at least one downstream protrusion may be configured to engage with the at least one upstream recess and the at least one downstream recess, respectively, so as to retain the non-nicotine pod assembly within the through hole of the device body.
Apparatus and method for vaporizing oxalic acid crystals to generate oxalic acid gas to treat bee mites
An oxalic acid vaporizer has a modular configuration, having a dispensing module and a manually detachable heating module. This modular configuration allows the first heating module to be easily separated from the dispensing module and a substitute heating module attached to the dispensing module, thereby allowing for a very fast replacement of the heating module in the event there is a failure or overheating in the first heating module. The substitute heating module may be a duplicate of the first heating module or the substitute heating module may have a more powerful fan, be capable of greater heat, or it may be of the type having a proportional-integral-derivative controller for controlling temperature. The modular configuration provides for a continuous oxalic acid gas treatment of bee hives by allowing an operator to change out heating modules in a matter of seconds.
