Provided are a flavor generating segment comprising a first flavor generating member and a second flavor generating member, wherein: at least either of the first and the second flavor generating members includes a plurality of stacked flavor generating sheets and has, between at least a pair of the neighboring flavor generating sheets, a non-contact part in which the flavor generating sheets do not come into contact with each other; and principal surfaces of the flavor generating sheets face the other flavor generating member, as well as a flavor generating article and a flavor inhalation system equipped therewith. The flavor generating segment gives a good smoking flavor.

An electronic cigarette, including: an atomization assembly and a battery assembly. The atomization assembly is disposed on the battery assembly. The atomization assembly includes a top cap; a buckle; a first fixing part; a first magnet; a steel tube; a second fixing part; a mouthpiece; an observation tube; a vapor tube; an e-liquid container; an e-liquid guide; a threaded joint; a fixing ring fixing the threaded joint; a second magnet; a heating unit; a first silica gel; a fixed seat; a first insulation ring; and a joint. The battery assembly includes an elastic electrode; a third magnet; a second insulation ring; a copper ring; a cartridge; a battery; a second silica gel; a pneumatic switch; a control plate; a base; and a bottom cap. The top cap includes a cavity and the first magnet is disposed in the cavity of the top cap.

The invention relates to an electronic cigarette product, comprising a housing having a mouth end, at least one air inlet opening, and an air channel extending in the housing between the at least one air inlet opening and the mouth end, a liquid reservoir, an electrical energy store, and an adding device connected to the liquid reservoir for generating vapor and/or aerosol from liquid extracted from the liquid reservoir, and adding the vapor and/or aerosol to an air flow flowing in the air channel. The adding device is at least partly a micro-system unit.

A humidor is provided with a body that includes a storage compartment therein that can retain an amount of a smoking material therein. A lid is engaged with the body in a manner to enclose the storage compartment in a manner that protects the smoking material positioned within the compartment. The lid includes a support surface located on one side of the lid that is exposed when the lid is disengaged from the body. The support surface provides an area in which the individual utilizing the smoking material can prepare the smoking material for use in close proximity to the storage container, thus facilitating the use of the smoking material.

An electronic vapor provision system is provided including a pressure drop or air flow sensor for monitoring inhalation by a user through the electronic vapor provision system; and a control unit for detecting the start and end of inhalation based on readings from the sensor. The control unit is configured to monitor the cumulative period of inhalation (Ti) over a predetermined window (Tw); and transfer the electronic vapor provision system to a sleep mode if the cumulative period (Ti) exceeds a predetermined threshold (Th).

An apparatus is described herein related to remote monitoring of perishable trade items in environmentally-controlled storage containers. Relevant changes in the container environment are detected through various sensors-based event detectors. A timer serves to trigger a plurality of distinct alert states, comprising pre-alerts and full alerts, following an event-initiated time threshold expiry. A data repository of generic merchandise data is accessed in order to derive suitable timer pre-sets in relation to time thresholds for alert states. An account configuration engine serves to customize the threshold presets to the specific items stored inside the container.

An airflow heating assembly, including a heating device (10) and a container (20), the heating device (10) being used for heating through-flowing air to produce a hot airflow, the container (20) being used for accommodating a raw material. The container (20) is arranged above the heating device (10), and a bottom portion of the container (20) is provided with air holes for maintaining airflow communication with the heating device (10). The heating device (10) includes an outer heating pipe (1) and an inner heating rod (2), the inner heating rod (2) is arranged in an inner cavity of the outer heating pipe (1), and an airflow heating space is formed between an outer wall of the inner heating rod (2) and an inner wall of the outer heating pipe (1).

A fluid permeable heater assembly for an aerosol-generating system includes a cap and a substantially flat electrically conductive and fluid permeable heating element. The cap includes a hollow body with a first cap opening and a second cap opening. The first cap opening is opposite to the second cap opening. The heating element is configured to vaporize aerosol-forming substrate. The heating element is mounted on the cap, such that the heating element extends across the first cap opening. A cartridge for an aerosol-generating system includes the heater assembly, a liquid storage portion, a mouth piece, and a retainer.

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.
