A vaporization device that includes an entertainment mode or modes including one or more game modes. The vaporization device may enhance the user experience. The entertainment mode may be engaged by a sequence of predetermined manipulations of the vaporization device. The entertainment mode may include one or more interactive games using the device, and/or one or more display modes. The interactive games may include a pattern-following game, a memory game, a triggered output game, or a chance game. The entertainment mode may also include games that may be played by one or more persons. The entertainment mode may modify the operation (e.g., heater control, appearance, user interface, etc.) of the device while still permitting the vaporization of vaporizable material.

An aerosol-generating device for use in an aerosol-generating system is provided, the aerosol-generating device including a cavity configured to receive an aerosol-generating article; a heat exchanger having a first portion proximate to the cavity and a second portion distal to the cavity for capturing heat from a lighter; and a retractable cover, wherein the retractable cover is movable from a first position in which the retractable cover covers the second portion of the heat-exchanger to a second position in which the second portion of the heat exchanger is exposed for heating by a lighter and wherein the retractable cover is configured to automatically return from the second position to the first position when the second portion of the heat exchanger reaches a threshold temperature.

A smoking cartridge of a gas-heated smoking article and its smoking articles are provided. The smoking cartridge includes a heat-not-burn smoking body and a mouth piece. The heat-not-burn smoking body is a column made of thermal conductive metal foil, wrapping tobacco and smoking liquid capsules. In a heating process of the heat-not-burn smoking body, the smoking liquid capsules release a smoking liquid and increase a vapor volume. A low-temperature cigarette is provided with an energy of burning propane gas or butane gas to smokers who are having difficulties to quit smoking, wherein the low-temperature cigarette produces a similar smoke with a taste of ordinary cigarettes. Since the heat-not-burn smoking body do not burn, the heat-not-burn smoking body reduces a variety of harmful components produced by the ordinary cigarettes due to tobacco combustion and thermal cracking, such as tar, carbon monoxide, cigarette ash and other harmful substances with traditional cigarette's combustion.
