An aerosol-generating apparatus includes a mouthpiece, an aerosolizing thermal reactor, and an air preheating passage. The aerosolizing thermal reactor has an air inlet upstream of an aerosol outlet, and includes an aerosolizable substance chamber and a thermal distribution casing. The thermal distribution casing surrounds the aerosolizable substance chamber and includes a laminate material with an at least three-layer construction including a metal middle layer between a metal outer layer and a metal inner layer. The thermal conductivity of the metal inner layer is at least double that of each of the metal outer and inner layers. The air preheating passage is located downstream of the air inlet and upstream of the aerosolizable substance chamber, and surrounds the aerosolizable substance chamber. The air preheating passage is defined by an air gap between the chamber outer wall and the metal inner layer.

An accessory e-cigarette and filter assembly that is essentially a holder for both a vaporizer/e-cigarette and an exhale filter is disclosed. The device also allows for removably pairing an exhale filter to a vaporizer and provides impact protection thereto. In the preferred embodiment, a sleeve with parallel channels provides for the filter and e-cigarette to be juxtaposed however a mouthpiece for the filter and a mouthpiece for the e-cigarette are at opposite ends.

There is provided a package for tobacco products or tobacco related commodities or smoking devices (20; 120; 220; 320), wherein the package (20; 120; 220; 320) includes an information encoding pattern (10; 110). The information encoding pattern comprises at least one first area (12) having a first conductive or dielectric property and at least one second area (14; 14a, 14b, 14c) having a second conductive or dielectric property. The first conductive property is different from the second conductive property and the first dielectric property is different from the second dielectric property. The information encoding pattern is configured to be detectable by a capacitive touch screen (24), e.g. a touch screen of a mobile device (22), such as a smartphone or tablet computer, when the information encoding pattern interacts with the touch screen, i.e. when the information encoding pattern approaches and/or touches the touch screen.

A container for storage of smoking material, such as, for example, tobacco or the like, and related smoking accessories and a system and a method for using the same. Including a main body portion which has a first cavity for storing smoking material that extends downwardly from the upper face toward the bottom and has a cover at the top. The housing may have additional cavities in the body of the container for convenient storage of a pipe(s) and a cleaning tool. A second cover for these cavities operates independently of the material storage cavity cover. The assembly also includes an access hole in the body of the container with an additional cover that can be shifted to reveal access for a pipe to be inserted and guided directly into the the storage cavity in order to fill and pack the pipe with a portion of the smoking material.

There is provided a case for a mobile device, including a first panel and a second panel; and a hinge extending along an edge of each of the first and second panels and connecting the second panel to the first panel, the hinge including a hollow portion configured to receive an aerosol-generating device, and a hinge power connector configured to deliver electrical energy to a corresponding power connector on the aerosol-generating device when the aerosol-generating device is connected to the hinge power connector.
