Various embodiments provide a pack for holding and re-charging an e-cigarette. The pack comprises a pack battery; a body portion including a tube for receiving an e-cigarette; a re-charging mechanism for re-charging the e-cigarette received into the tube using the pack battery; and a lid attached to the body portion. The lid can be opened to allow the e-cigarette to be received into the tube, and closed to retain the e-cigarette in the tube. The pack is configured to transition from a higher power state to a lower power state a predetermined period of time after the lid is opened and before the lid has been shut.

Storage containers, products, and methods of packing a smoking product are described. An example storage container has a main body that has a first end, a second end, a lengthwise axis, a width, and defines a chamber and an indicium. The lengthwise axis has a midpoint. Each of the first end and second end is moveable from a sealed configuration to an unsealed configuration. The width of the main body tapers from the second end toward the first end. The indicium is defined at a location between the midpoint of the lengthwise axis and the first end and extends along a portion of the width of the main body. The main body has a first width at the location between the midpoint of the lengthwise axis and the first end and a second width at the second end. The first width is less than the second width.

An aerosol generating device which is capable of generating an aerosol at an appropriate timing includes: a power source which supplies power in order to atomize an aerosol source and/or heat a flavor source; a sensor which outputs a measurement value for controlling the power supplied; and a controller which controls the power supplied on the basis of the measurement value. The controller controls a power supply amount from the power source to be a first value when the measured value is equal to or larger than a first threshold and smaller than a second threshold larger than the first threshold, and the power supply amount to be larger than the first value when the measured value is equal to or larger than the second threshold.

A cartridge and an atomizer having the cartridge are disclosed, the cartridge includes a micro-porous body with an absorption surface and an atomization surface; a heating element embedded in the micro-porous body; the heating element disposed between the absorption surface and the atomization surface; the heating element includes a first surface and a second surface; the heating element is bored with multiple spaced through holes, the through holes are extending from the first surface to the second surface.

The present invention relates to a rod-shaped aerosol-generating article for use with an electrically heated aerosol-generating device. The article comprises a substrate core and a filler sleeve surrounding the substrate core. The substrate core comprises an aerosol-forming substrate and has a non-circular outer cross-section. The invention further relates to electrically heated aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating system for use with an aerosol-generating article.

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 seals the evacuation chamber off from communication with an air inlet. One or more pumps in the pump housing is/are operable to generate a vacuum in the evacuation chamber. 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 an ambient temperature without requiring a heater. When the operation unit is released, the evacuation chamber is emptied via the mouthpiece.

The present application relates to an electronic vaporizer, an electronic vaporizer device body, and an electronic vaporizer device. An electronic vaporizer is used in combination with an electronic vaporizer device body, wherein the electronic vaporizer device body at least comprises a power supply, a first pin and a second pin; and the electronic vaporizer comprises: a storage compartment, storing a vaporizable substance; and a heating circuit, comprising: a heating component, configured for heating; and a first and second contact pad, wherein the heating circuit changes a voltage or current between the first pin and the second pin after the first and second contact pad being electrically contacting with the first and second pin respectively; and after detecting the voltage or the current changes, the electronic vaporizer device body controls the power supply to supply power to the heating component via the first and second contact pad.

The disclosure relates to an electronic atomizing device and an atomizer and a liquid injection structure thereof. The liquid injection structure includes an outer pipe provided with an exhaust port and a liquid injection assembly including a sleeve pipe disposed in the outer pipe and a liquid injection pipe disposed in the sleeve pipe. The liquid injection pipe is provided with a liquid injection port, and is axially movable relative to the sleeve pipe between a first position where the sleeve pipe seals the liquid injection port and a second position where the seal of the liquid injection port by the sleeve pipe is released. The sleeve pipe is axially movable relative to the outer pipe between a third position where the sleeve pipe seals the exhaust port and a fourth position where the seal of the exhaust port by the sleeve pipe is released.

A heater for use in an aerosol generating device is disclosed. The heater includes a heating element comprising a coil. The coil has at least two coiled regions and one non-coiled region. The heater includes a pair of wicks arranged to feed e-liquid to the heating element from different directions. A device for generating an inhalable medium including a heater for volatilizing liquid is also disclosed.
