A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.

An electrically heated aerosol-generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate includes a heating element including a first electrically conductive element electrically insulated from a second electrically conductive element by an electrically insulating portion. The first and second elements are elongate and are electrically connected to each other by an electrically resistive portion. At least one electrically conductive element and the electrically resistive portion are arranged such that they are at least partially in contact with the aerosol-forming substrate.

A non-burning type flavor inhaler includes a main body unit having the non-inhalation end; and a capsule unit configured to be attachable/detachable to/from the main body unit. The main body unit includes an aerosol source, an atomizer, and a power source. The capsule unit includes a solid flavor source, and a filter adjacent to the inhalation end side with respect to the flavor source. A part of an outer surface of the flavor source except a portion adjacent to the filter is covered with a predetermined film composed of an impermeable member. The main body unit is provided with a breaker for breaking the part of the predetermined film in a part adjacent to the capsule unit.

A washer liquid heating apparatus integrated into a reservoir may include a plate-type heater that may be installed in a hole of the reservoir to heat a washer liquid within the reservoir, a protect cover that may be assembled into the reservoir to surround the heater, and a fastening device for fixing the heater and the protect cover to the reservoir, wherein the plate-type heater may be fixed to be exposed to an inside of the reservoir through the hole such that a heating surface where heating may be performed heats the washer liquid within the reservoir.

According to at least one example embodiment, a controller for an e-vaping device includes a movement sensor configured to detect movement of the e-vaping device and output an output signal based on the movement. The controller includes control circuitry configured to control power supplied to power consuming elements of the e-vaping device based on the output signal.

The present invention includes: a laminated structure of an insulation substrate; a resistance pattern laminated on one side of the insulation substrate with a pure metal or an alloy which is a mixture of two or more metals at a predetermined ratio and having a resistance value which is set by a pattern having a length and a cross-sectional area; a first insulator layer coated on an upper surface of the resistance pattern by a predetermined method to protect and insulate the resistance pattern; a conductor layer in which a metal material is deposited on the upper surface of the first insulator layer by a predetermined method; and a thin film protective layer deposited on the upper surface of the conductor layer to provide insulation from the conductor layer, waterproofing, corrosion resistance, and chemical resistance.

A heater unit includes a heater 72 having first bend portions 95 (95a to 95d) and second bend portions 96 (96a to 96f). The first bend portions 95 are turns present in a maximum-temperature area (first area 90a) where the maximum temperature is reached during heating among areas 88 where the turns have a narrower pitch and having apexes facing each other in the short-length direction (left-right direction) of a ceramic substrate. The second bend portions 96 are turns present in areas 89 where the turns have a wider pitch and having apexes facing each other in the short-length direction. The distance X1 [mm] between the first bend portions 95 facing each other is larger than the distance X2 [mm] between the second bend portions 96 facing each other.

An electronic cigarette includes a shell and a mouthpiece. The external wall of the shell has an air inlet. An atomizer and a liquid-supply are in contact with each other. The air inlet, atomizer, and an aerosol passage are interconnected.

The present disclosure describes a personal vaporizer which can detect whether or not a cartridge of the personal vaporizer has been breached. The cartridge includes a conductive shell. The conductive shell can include two or more conductors which are electrically isolated from each-other. Prior to operation, the personal vaporizer can use the two or more conductors to assess whether or not an outer shell of the cartridge has been breached. In some implementations, if it is determined that the cartridge has been breached, the personal vaporizer can shut down, or otherwise fail to operate normally.

The invention relates to a glass product with electrically heated surface and a method of its manufacture. A method of manufacturing a glass product with electrically heated surface comprises the steps of: producing a substantially transparent substrate; applying a substantially transparent electroconductive layer to the substrate; and forming in the electroconductive layer at least one section with electrically insulated zones separated by electroconductive strips, which at least partially deviate from the longitudinal direction of the section and consist of straight and/or curved portions having substantially the same width w within one section, the width being selected for a specified configuration of electrically insulated zones as a function of desired total resistance R.sub.total of the section, consisting of combination of resistances R.sub.N of the strip portions, wherein resistance R.sub.N of each strip portion is determined from the equation: where R.sub.□ is the specific resistivity of the electroconductive layer; w is the width of the strip, and l.sub.N is the length of each portion of the strip.
