An exothermal vaporizer is provided. The exothermal vaporizer has a body including an air and vapor mix port, a fluid inlet port in communication with a reservoir, an air inlet, and a wicking material. A mouthpiece is coupled to the body and a temperature indicating cap is removable from the body. A counter flow design exothermal vaporizer, a modular exothermal vaporizer, and a vaporizer which is adjustable to modulate and/or regulate the flow ratio of dilution air and produced vapor are also disclosed.

The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder includes a main body defining a proximal end and a distal end, the main body further providing an aerosol passageway that extends through at least a portion of the main body, and a heat sink portion. At least part of the receiving chamber is located in the heat sink portion, and the heat sink portion is configured to dissipate heat from a substrate cartridge. Some implementations further include a cartridge retention assembly and a sliding assembly. The sliding assembly is configured to slide relative to the main body to and from at least a loading position, wherein the cartridge retention assembly is configured to receive a substrate cartridge, and a use position, wherein the cartridge retention assembly is configured to retain a substrate cartridge.

A vaporization apparatus configured to support a vaporization rig and a heating element, comprises a body including an interior cavity and a top surface. The interior cavity supports the heating element. The top surface defines a first receptacle sized to support a first portion of the vaporization rig and a second receptacle sized to support a second portion of the vaporization rig. The first receptacle is fluidly coupled to the second receptacle, and the interior cavity and the second receptacle are positioned to align a heatable portion of the vaporization rig with a heat generating portion of the heating element.

A flavor inhaler (100) comprises a cup (50) having a cup shape. The cup is inserted into the holder (30) in a direction in which an opening of the cup is directed toward the ignition end side and a bottom plate (52) of the cup is arranged at the non-ignition end side. The cup has a claw portion (54) that protrudes into an inside of the cup from an inner wall surface of a side wall (51) of the cup. The claw portion has at least an engagement portion (54A) that engages an end surface of the combustion type heat source (70) in a non-ignition end side.

A smoking article is provided and has opposed lighting and mouth ends. A mouth end portion is disposed at the mouth end and a heat generation portion is disposed about the lighting end. An outer wrapping material is wrapped at least about the heat generation portion and extends toward the mouth end portion, to define a cylindrical rod. An aerosol-generating portion is disposed within the outer wrapping material and between the heat generation and mouth end portions. The aerosol-generating portion is configured to generate an aerosol in response to heat received from the heat generation portion. Heat from the heat generation portion for aerosol formation is provided by igniting a combustible fuel element (e.g., a plurality of parts or pieces of clean burning carbonaceous material) located within an enclosed heat generation cartridge.

The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder includes a main body defining a proximal end and a distal end, and an outer sleeve configured to slide relative to the main body, the outer sleeve also defining a proximal end and a distal end. The outer sleeve is configured to slide to a use position, in which the proximal end of the main body extends beyond the proximal end of the outer sleeve and the distal end of the outer sleeve extends beyond the distal end of the main body, and a storage position, in which the distal end of the main body extends beyond the distal end of the outer sleeve and the proximal end of the outer sleeve substantially covers the proximal end of the main body.
