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.

A smoking device includes a pipe made of an elongated glass tube having an open first end and an open second end. An internal surface of the elongated glass tube includes a narrowed portion defining a narrowed diameter opening. The narrowed portion separates chambers within the elongated glass tube. The chambers include a material chamber from the second open end to the narrowed portion, and a smoke chamber defined from the narrowed portion to the first open end. A cap includes an open end and output openings. The cap is placed over the open first end or the open second end. The pipe further includes a polymer coating sealed to an outer surface of the elongated glass tube.

There is provided an aerosol-generating article (10) comprising an aerosol-generating substrate (12) and a mouthpiece (14) secured to a downstream end of the aerosol-generating substrate (12). The mouthpiece (14) comprises at least one segment of filter material (20) and a vented segment (27) downstream of the at least one segment of filter material (20) and comprising at least one freshener delivery element (26). The vented segment (27) comprising the at least one freshener delivery element (26) is detachable from the at least one segment of filter material (20) to decrease the ventilation of the aerosol-generating article (10).

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.

The capsule includes the matrix with one or more portions of a filler material. The filler material is a plant-based cellulose material. The one or more portions define interstices. A containing structure contains the matrix. A consumable substance is infused within the filler material. The consumable substance is nicotine, a flavorant, a pre-aerosol formulation, a combination thereof, or a sub-combination thereof. The device includes a heating section with the capsule.
