A method of manufacturing an atomizing unit comprises: a step A of measuring a resistance value of a resistive heating element which atomizes an aerosol source by resistance heat; and a step B of recording the resistance value measured in the step A, an adjusted power supply output determined in accordance with the resistance value as a power supply output to the resistive heating element or identification information associated with the resistance value or the adjusted power supply output in an information source.

An apparatuses used for the safe dispensation of compressed liquid/gas butane from a compressed liquid/gas butane can for use in mixing this liquid/gas with parts of a marijuana plant within a glass tube of the apparatus to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and disposing it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing.

A nebulizer in accordance with the present invention comprises a nebulizing chamber including a vibratable micro micron mesh grid having a plurality of precision openings and passageways therethrough disposed in said chamber with a liquid pharmaceutical product contained in said nebulizing cartridge and passing through said openings in said vibratable micro micron mesh grid for producing particle sizes of said pharmaceutical product of about two (2) to five (5) microns; and an entrainment port for drawing air into and through the entrainment port into the nebulizing chamber and through the grid. A control circuit, a source of electrical energy in said circuit such as two 1.5 volt nickel cadmium batteries connected to said grid for producing vibration. A switch to turn said grid off and on and means for providing a first measured time period of about four seconds of time for taking a first breath of air through the entrainment port through the grid and through the thousands of passageways into the lungs and bloodstream of an individual. A second time period during which no vibration occurs.

A pulmonary delivery system includes an elongated body having an openable and closeable portion thereof for receiving an insertable and replaceable container such as a cartridge of pure medical product disposed in a saline solution. The medical product may be epinephrine, insulin or nicotine disposed in a saline solution. The system also incorporates a penetrating element that is disposed in the cylinder to pierce the cartridge and release the nicotine solution into the cylinder and into or on a micron mesh grid. A flow of air created by inhaling through a mouthpiece draws air into an individual's lungs from an entrainment port and onto a grid for atomizing a mist of micron droplets through the grid. It is recognized that the air from the entrainment port further dilutes the concentration of the medical product. The grid is connected to a source of electrical power to vibrate the mesh grid.

An electronic smoking system (50) is disclose that comprises a mobile telephone (52) having a carrying case (152) and an electronic smoking apparatus (100) that fits within the carrying case.

A leakage-proof electronic atomizer includes a shell, a cartridge, a second orifice plate, and a pushing component. The shell is provided with a gas channel. The gas channel includes a gas inlet at one end and a gas outlet at the other end, and the top of the shell is provided with an accommodation cavity with an upper-end opening. The cartridge is detachably arranged in the accommodation cavity, and the pushing component is configured to drive a first orifice plate to slide so that first square holes of the first orifice plate are in communication with second square holes of the second orifice plate, allowing atomized e-liquid in the cartridge to enter into the gas channel.

An electronic cigarette charging apparatus is used for charging a battery component (1) of an electronic cigarette. A first electrode connecting piece and a second electrode connecting piece used for being electrically connected to the electronic cigarette charging apparatus are disposed at an end of the battery component (1). The electronic cigarette charging apparatus comprises a first charging electrode (5) that corresponds to the first electrode connecting piece and may extend and contract, and a collision sound-making mechanism (6) disposed on an extension and contraction path of the first charging electrode (5). During charging, the first charging electrode (5) elastically contracts along the extension and contraction path to a predetermined position, and the first charging electrode (5) and the first electrode connecting piece are electrically connected. The first charging electrode (5) triggers the collision sound-making mechanism (6) to make an engaging prompt sound.

The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for assembling cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridges may be assembled by transporting carriages between various substations at which parts are added to a base. In another assembly method, the base may be moved between a plurality of robots which direct the base downwardly into contact with components to couple the components therewith. An inspection system may inspect the cartridges at various stages of completion.

An electronic smoking article includes a liquid supply region including liquid material and a heater-wick element operable to wick liquid material and heat the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol. The heater-wick element is formed of a carbon or graphite foam.
