A heating device for an electronic smoking apparatus has a heating element encased in a bulb so that e-liquid does not come in contact with the heating element, but rather is heated indirectly by the bulb. The heating element is in electrical communication with electrical contacts exterior of the bulb, which contacts are placed in electrical communication with a power source such as a batter. The bulb can be made of glass, quartz, or similar inert silica-based compositions. The bulb can be shaped and sized to accommodate the components of a variety of electronic smoking apparatus. The bulb includes an indentation or an external protrusion that functions as a reservoir to receive and retain inhalant material such as liquids, concentrates or herbal material.

An additive for a cigarette for smoking a smoking medium comprises a non-flammable carrier, a body of semisolid cannabis extract oil for consumption by smoking that is supported on the carrier in a manner so as to leave a gripping portion of the carrier which is uncovered by the semisolid cannabis extract oil such that the gripping portion protrudes from the body of semisolid cannabis extract oil for handling. Additionally, there is disclosed a holder for a cigarette that includes a non-flammable gripping portion for handling the cigarette and a transversely enlarged filter portion defining a fluidic passageway to enable combustion smoke to pass through the same, where both the gripping and filter portions are arranged to be located within the tubular container of the cigarette. Furthermore, there is disclosed a method for forming a cigarette including an internally located holder distinct from the tubular container of the cigarette.

The present disclosure provides, in one embodiment, an electronic smoking device comprising a mouthpiece; a vaporizer portion in communication with the mouthpiece; a filter cartridge assembly in communication with the mouthpiece; an inlet check valve; and an outlet check valve. The vaporizer portion comprises a heating element for heating a smoking material housed within the vaporizer portion. The inlet check valve permits air to be inhaled from the vaporizer portion into the mouthpiece, but substantially prohibits air from being exhaled through the mouthpiece into the vaporizer portion. The outlet check valve permits air to be exhaled through the mouthpiece into the filter cartridge assembly, but substantially prohibits air from being inhaled from the filter cartridge assembly into the mouthpiece.

An electronic cigarette includes a power supply device, an atomizer, a liquid storage structure, a fluid transportation device and a sensing unit. The atomizer includes an electric heater. The liquid storage structure includes a passageway and a liquid container for storing cigarette liquid. The fluid transportation device is in communication with the liquid container and the atomizer for transferring the cigarette liquid to the atomizer at a certain amount. Consequently, an atomized vapor is generated. The sensing unit includes an airflow sensor and an air pressure sensor. The power supply device is selectively enabled or disabled according to a result of detecting the airflow by the airflow sensor, and the air pressure sensor issues a detection signal to the control module according to a result of detecting a pressure of the airflow so as to adjust a speed of atomizing the cigarette liquid and the speed of providing the cigarette liquid.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices, methods of forming such devices, and elements of such devices. For example, some aerosol delivery devices of the current disclosure include a reservoir having a liquid aerosol precursor composition, an electrical heater in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to vaporize the liquid aerosol precursor composition to form an aerosol, and a filter operatively arranged relative to the electrical heater such that at least a portion of the formed aerosol passes therethrough, the filter being configured to selectively bind one or more undesirable impurities.
