An electronic cigarette includes a liquid supply including liquid material, a heater operable to heat the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol, a wick in communication with the liquid material and in communication with the heater such that the wick delivers the liquid material to the heater, at least one air inlet operable to deliver air to a central air passage upstream of the heater, and a mouth end insert having at least two diverging outlets. The electronic cigarette can also include an air flow diverter which directs incoming air away from a heating zone of the heater.

A heater system may include a ceramic heater and a drive device. The ceramic heater may include a ceramic substrate and a resistance heating element. The ceramic substrate may include an upper surface. The resistance heating element may extend in an internal portion or on a surface of the ceramic substrate along the upper surface of the ceramic substrate. The drive device may include a main driving part, which supplies the main power to the entirety of the resistance heating element, and an additional driving part, which supplies additional power to a divided region that is a portion of the resistance heating element, by superimposing it on the main power.

An electronic cigarette, an atomization assembly and an atomization component for the same. The atomization component comprises a porous base, a first film, and a second film. The porous base material comprises an atomization surface. The first film and the second film are sequentially formed on the atomization surface. At least one of the first film or the second film is used for generating heat when charged, so as to heat and atomize an e-liquid on the atomization surface.

Provided is a far-infrared ray radiation sheet capable of realizing a heating device exhibiting reduced heat unevenness and a high heat diffusion property, that is highly effective as a heater and good for a human body. There is provided a far-infrared ray radiation sheet 1 formed in a planar shape, that radiates far-infrared rays, the far-infrared ray radiation sheet comprising heat generation type mixed paper 20 formed by mixing a basic material and carbon fiber; electrodes 21 provided to the heat generation type mixed paper 20; heat diffusion type mixed paper 10 formed by mixing the basic material, and the carbon fiber or graphite exhibiting high heat conductivity, that is laminated on the heat generation type mixed paper 20; and prepregs and PET films 23 are laminated on the heat generation type mixed paper 20 and the heat diffusion type mixed paper 10, wherein the far-infrared rays are radiated by applying current to the electrodes 21.

A heating device in the form of a radiant heating device for a hob has a sheet-like support with a support top side, with at least one heating element on the support top side, which heating element is highly corrugated and runs in tracks in a laying pattern. The heating element has at least two heating conductor strips which each have lateral sides and a top edge and a bottom edge. These at least two heating conductor strips are placed together or placed on one another by way of their mutually facing lateral sides and are at least partially in contact. The at least two heating conductor strips are connected to one another in a fixed and non-detachable manner, advantageously before corrugation.

A modular LED heater and an LED array are disclosed. The modular LED heater comprises a base having one or more internal conduits through which a coolant fluid may flow. The base also includes a plumbing port on one side wall of the base and a recessed port on an opposite side of the base. These ports are configured such that the plumbing port of one modular LED heater can be inserted into the recessed port of the adjacent modular LED heater to form a fluid-tight seal. A printed circuit board having a plurality of LEDs is disposed on the front surface of the base. Further, in some embodiments, the base includes one or more wedge clamps on its side walls used to lock the modular LED heater to an adjacent modular LED heater. An LED array may be created by assembling a plurality of these modular LED heaters.
