The ventilation assembly for an atomizer in an electronic cigarette has a storage chamber, which includes an inlet passages and a liquid injection channel located therein. The inlet passages and the liquid injection channel are isolated from each other. The ventilation assembly further includes an injection hole, an air inlet, the injection hole is in communication with the liquid injection channel and the storage chamber sequentially; and an exhaust port, the exhaust port, and the air inlet are in communication with the inlet passages; when need to inject cigarette liquid, open the injection hole and inject the cigarette liquid into the storage chamber through the injection hole; after the liquid injection is completed, during closing the injection hole, air received in the storage chamber is discharged from the injection hole, exhaust port, the air inlet passage and the air inlet successively.

The present disclosure describes a flavor element configured for providing flavor to a user of an electronic vaporizer, along with nicotine reduction methods. The flavor element includes a flavor material configured to provide the flavor and is configured to attach to the electronic vaporizer. When attached to the electronic vaporizer and during inhalation by the user using the electronic vaporizer, the flavor element is configured to provide the flavor to the user in parallel with an inhalable aerosol provided by the electronic vaporizer. The inhalable aerosol is provided by the electronic vaporizer by at least partially vaporizing a vaporizable substance via a vapor element. The flavor provided via the flavor material is separate from the vaporizable substance.

A determination method for lip sticking force of cigarette tipping paper is provided. The artificial saliva is used to clamp the tipping paper and the artificial mouth skin that are bonded between two jigs, respectively. The two jigs move relative to each other. Force changes during the test are collected through a force sensor and a displacement sensor. The maximum debonding force obtained by the test is divided by the sticking area of the tipping paper and the artificial mouth skin to obtain the lip sticking force of the cigarette tipping paper per unit area. The present invention can accurately quantify the sticking force of the cigarette tipping paper to lips, can well avoid subjective factor influence and difference characterization brought by traditional personal sensory smoking evaluation, is more objective, efficient, has good repeatability, high sensitivity and simple operation.

A device for burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include an truncated conical member formed from a material having an internal elongated cavity extending from an open end to a closed end. The elongated cavity can be configured to receive a smoking material. The smoking accessory can include a filter disposed within the truncated conical member and defining the closed end. The filter can have a recess formed in a surface of the body along a curved face extending from the first end to the second end, the recess extending radially into the body. The smoking accessory can include a capsule containing a flavoring agent disposed within the recess.

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including: an aerosol-forming substrate; and a venturi element including an airflow channel, the airflow channel including an inlet portion, a central portion, and an outlet portion, and the inlet portion is configured to converge towards the central portion with an inlet angle of between 1° and 19°, and the outlet portion is configured to diverge from the central portion.

An article (1) for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system is provided. The article comprises a rod comprising a column of aerosol-generating material (3) and a mouthpiece (2) at a first end of the column of aerosol-generating material. The column of aerosol generating material is wrapped in a wrapper (4). A component (5) is located within the wrapper at an opposite end of the column of aerosol-generating material to retain the aerosol generating material within the wrapper. A method for manufacturing an article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system is also disclosed.

An aerosol-generating article (10) includes a mouthpiece (14) comprising at least one segment of filter material (18,20) and a liquid delivery element (22). The liquid delivery element (22) comprises: an upstream end and a downstream end; a double-walled annular body portion (28) comprising: an inner wall (34) defining a longitudinal channel (38) extending through the liquid delivery element (22); and an outer wall (32) integrally formed with the inner wall (34), the outer wall (32) circumscribing the inner wall (34) such that a cavity (36) is defined between the outer wall (32) and the inner wall (34), the cavity (36) having an opening in at least one of the upstream end and the downstream end and containing a liquid; and annular sealing means (40) inserted between the inner wall (34) and the outer wall (32) of the annular body portion (28) to provide a liquid tight seal at the opening or openings of the cavity (36). The inner wall (34) and the outer wall (32) of the annular body portion (28) are configured such that the inner wall (34) is breakable upon application of a compressive force to the liquid delivery element (22) in a transverse direction and such that upon breakage of the inner wall (34) the liquid is released from the cavity (36) into the longitudinal channel (38).

A tube filter for smoking a smokable substance that includes a receiving section having a receiving chamber dimensioned to receive the substance, a smoke section having a smoke chamber to output smoke produced while the substance is ignited, wherein the smoke section has a first open end into the smoke chamber and the receiving section has a second open end into the receiving chamber that is opposite to the first end, and first, second, and third indentations that are disposed between the two chambers, wherein a portion of the first indentation and a first portion of the second indentation are disposed within a first cross-section of the filter and a portion of the third indentation and a second portion of the second indentation are disposed within a second cross-section of the filter, and the third indentation is entirely disposed above the first indentation along the center longitudinal axis.
