A tactile indicator 200 for use in an aerosol provision system 300. The tactile indicator 200 may be supplied with a given aerosol provision system 1, or may be retrospectively used with, or attached to, an aerosol provision device 2. The tactile indicator 200 may be electrically operated, or may be mechanically operated and/or configured to remain stationary in use. The tactile indicator 200 may therefore facilitate the operation of an aerosol provision system 1, particularly to those users which have a visual impairment.

An aerosol delivery device comprising a controller and a power source, wherein the device is configured to receive an article for aerosolizable material, wherein the controller is configured to facilitate generation of a first aerosol and one or more subsequent aerosols from the aerosolizable material, to determine a usage characteristic of the device and, based on said determined usage characteristic, to generate the subsequent aerosol such that it contains a pre-configured change in one or more aerosol characteristics relative to the first aerosol.

The present disclosure involves systems, methods, and an apparatus for inhaling vaporized substances. An attachable personal vaporizer is disclosed comprising a body having a power supply, a control circuit, and a cartridge. The cartridge includes a first channel that provides a flow path to transport vaporized substance to a first end of the body. A mouthpiece is coupled to the first end of the body that includes a second channel, which extends the flow path from the first end of the body through the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece and the body are shaped to abut to a second personal vaporizer.

This disclosure describes control of a personal vaporizer, such as an electronic cigarette, a vape pen, vape kits, e-cig, or e-hookah, electronic nicotine delivery system, that either can be coupled to one or more other personal vaporizers or that has two or more cartridges for vapor generation and delivery. Personal vaporizers can provide controlled substances (e.g., nicotine, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), etc.). In addition to the controlled substances, personal vaporizers allow for unique flavors as compared to traditional inhalation devices (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, or pipes). Since cartridges for personal vaporizers often provide a fixed dosage of substance and limited range of flavors, it can be desirable to allow the user to mix and combine multiple cartridges.

A microfluidic dispenser device of inhalable substances includes a casing, housed in which are a driving circuit and a microfluidic cartridge having a tank that contains a liquid to be delivered. The microfluidic cartridge is provided with at least one nebulizer controlled by the driving device. The nebulizer includes: a substrate; a plurality of chambers formed on the substrate and fluidically coupled to the tank for receiving the liquid to be delivered; and a plurality of heaters, which are formed on the substrate in positions corresponding to respective chambers, are thermally coupled to the respective chambers and are separated from the respective chambers by an insulating layer, and are controlled by the driving device. Each chamber is fluidically connected with the outside by at least one respective nozzle.

Provided is a system and method for a vaporizer cartridge system wherein the cartridge provides the diffuser. More specifically, an embodiment of the system includes a vaporizing device providing a heating element proximate to a removable cartridge system receiving port, and a dispenser trigger structured and arranged to engage the removable cartridge to dispense a predetermined amount of a liquid concentrate from within the removable cartridge. The system further includes a cartridge with diffuser including: a housing; a reservoir of liquid concentrate; a diffuser element; a metered dispenser structured and arranged to dispense from the reservoir into the diffuser element a predetermined amount of liquid concentrate. An associated method of use is also provided.

A power supply unit for an aerosol generation device includes a controller capable of controlling discharging from a power supply to a first load and a second load, and an operation unit configured to be operated by a user. The controller has a plurality of modes for operating the aerosol generation device, including a regular mode and an irregular mode, and is configured to execute first predetermined control of the aerosol generation device upon a first predetermined operation on the operation unit, operate in the regular mode upon a second predetermined operation on the operation unit, and operate in the irregular mode upon a third predetermined operation on the operation unit. A time required for the second predetermined operation and a time required for the third predetermined operation are shorter than a time required for the first predetermined operation.
