A heating and atomizing aroma diffuser includes a cover with an outlet thereof, an atomization core including a heating member and a liquid conduction member surrounding around the heating member, a spice storage, an airflow generator with an inlet thereof and a control unit. The inlet, the airflow generator, the spice storage, the atomization core and the outlet are connected to cooperatively form an air passageway thereof. The control unit is electrically connected to the heating member and the airflow generator to drive the heating member to generate heat, so that spice liquid adsorbed on a surface of the liquid conduction member is atomized into steam by high temperature, and then simultaneously drive the steam to diffuse into the air through the air passageway, thereby the steam can be diffused rapidly and sufficiently into the air, and has widespread spectrum and strong fragrance.

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including a storage portion configured to store an aerosol-forming substrate; an aerosol-generating element configured to generate an aerosol from the aerosol-forming substrate; a control circuitry in communication with the storage portion or the aerosol-generating element; and disabling means for rendering the storage portion inoperable in the aerosol-generating system in response to a disable signal from the control circuitry. There is also provided a method in an aerosol-generating system, including sending a disable signal from the control circuitry to the disabling component following a determination that an amount of the aerosol-substrate in the storage portion is below a threshold level or following a determination of a malfunction in the system.

An aromatherapy device includes an aroma diffuser using a hollow heating element to heat thermal conduction device that is used to heat a disposable multilayer breathing film-based aroma capsule or aromatic substances in a detachable aromatic substance container for producing fragrance. The hollow heating element produces heat energy to the thermal conduction device without causing concentration of heat source, so that the thermal conduction device can evenly heat the disposable multilayer breathing film-based aroma capsule or the aromatic substances in the detachable aromatic substance container for producing fragrance in the space, enabling the aromatic substances to be completely vaporized without leaving a residue.

A essential oil diffuser that gasifies a liquid, such as water, which passes through a screen where it picks up essential oil and diffuses it into the ambient air.

The disclosure herein concerns a method including receiving at a computer at least one target value of a scent parameter for an environment that is remote from the computer, receiving at the computer a sensed parameter of the environment, and controlling, via the computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent parameter, wherein controlling includes setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the at least one scent diffusion device in response to the sensed parameter.

A novel aromatherapy vaporization device is disclosed having a first and second housing with a heating chamber for receiving of phyto material. The heating chamber has an ambient air input port that receives ambient air that does not flow past hot electrical components when entering the heating chamber. An inhalation tube is coupled with the heating chamber for receiving of phyto material vapor therein in a second mode of operation and in a first mode of operation the inhalation tube is uncoupled from the heating chamber to allow for loading of phyto material therein.

An orientation independent delivery device including a replaceable cartridge that may be installed on a foundation. A cartridge includes a gas chamber, a delivery chamber, a gas cell, and a delivery aperture. The gas chamber includes a gas-side rigid portion and a gas-side flexible barrier. The gas-side flexible barrier is sealed to the gas-side rigid portion. The delivery chamber includes a delivery-side rigid portion and a delivery-side flexible barrier. The delivery-side flexible barrier is sealed to the delivery-side rigid portion and is oriented adjacent to the gas-side flexible barrier. The gas cell is coupled to the gas-side rigid portion of the gas chamber. The gas cell increases a gas pressure within the gas chamber to expand the gas-side flexible barrier. Expansion of the gas-side flexible barrier applies a compressive force to the delivery-side flexible barrier allowing a delivery material to escape from the delivery chamber.

An oil fan diffuser having a housing with a first section and a second section. A power source such as a plurality of batteries are disposed within the second section. Disposed within the first section is a fan, an inner housing, a fragrance emitting member, a retaining member, and an inverted fragrance bottle.

A method and apparatus for vapor dispensing apparatus is described. The vapor dispensing apparatus includes: a housing defining a chamber having an inner contact surface, wherein the housing further comprises an aperture providing fluid communication between the chamber and an external environment; an evaporable material receptacle movably disposed within the chamber such that a dispensing portion of the receptacle is disposed in contact with at least a portion of the surface; and a motor coupled to the apparatus, configured to move the receptacle.
