A personal vaporizer device, especially an electronic smoking article, comprises a cartridge which includes a reservoir for storing a liquid to be vaporized; and an elongate body portion to which the cartridge is connected. The elongate body portion comprises a cover member which is movable in a longitudinal direction of the body portion between a first position and a second position, wherein the cartridge is substantially covered or obscured by the cover member in the first position. In the second position, the cover member is retracted.

A cartridge for an aerosol provision device includes a chamber for containing a liquid from which a flow of aerosol for inhalation by a user is generated. The cartridge includes a first connector arrangement for releasably connecting the cartridge to a body portion of the device, and a second connector arrangement for releasably connecting to a container for a material. In use, aerosol flows through the material in the container before being inhaled by the user. The first connector arrangement is configurable in a locked configuration and in an un-locked configuration, and the first connector arrangement must be configured in the un-locked configuration for the cartridge to be removeable from the body portion. The first connector arrangement is configurable from the locked configuration to the un-locked configuration while the cartridge remains stationary with respect to the body portion.

Phyto material tablets, tablet vaporizers, methods and apparatus for forming phyto material tablets. The tablets are formed to increase vaporization efficiency. Tablets can include break regions to facilitate fracturing into multiple pieces for vaporization. The tablets can also include multiple layers of different phyto material mixtures. Compression molds are used to shape the tablets. The compression molds can be provided on a rotational assembly to facilitate rapid manufacturing of multiple tablets. The vaporizers include heating chambers that are configured to increase the surface area of the tablets exposed for vaporization. The heating chambers include compression or fracture members that compress and/or encourage fracturing of the tablets to assist vaporization.

An electronic device for producing an aerosol for inhalation by a person includes a mouthpiece, a liquid container, and a mesh assembly having a mesh material and a piezoelectric material. The mesh material is in contact with a liquid of the container. The mesh material is configured to vibrate when the piezoelectric material is actuated, whereby the aerosol is produced. The aerosol may be inhaled through the mouthpiece. The device also includes circuitry and a power supply for actuating the mesh assembly. The mouthpiece, the container, and the mesh assembly are located in-line along a longitudinal axis of the device between opposite longitudinal ends of the device, with the mesh assembly extending between and separating the mouthpiece and the container. The mesh material has a rigidity that is sufficient to prevent oscillations of varying amplitudes during actuation of the piezoelectric material of the mesh assembly for consistently producing the aerosol.

A vaporiser device (1) comprising a heating chamber (2) for receiving a sachet of herbal material (3) to be heated with which said vaporiser (1) is used, and a lid (4) which is movable between an open position in which an internal area (5) of said heating chamber (2) is accessible and a closed position in which said lid (4) overlies said internal area (5), and in which said lid (4) comprises a protrusion (6) on an underside (7) thereof which extends into said internal area (5) in said closed position.

The present application is disclosed an atomizing component and an electronic cigarette. The atomizing component comprises a light-permeable e-liquid storage sleeve. An atomizing core is detachably connected to an end of the e-liquid storage sleeve. A fastening element for restricting radial expansion of the e-liquid storage sleeve is sleeved at where the e-liquid storage sleeve is insertedly connected to the atomizing core. An end of a ventilation pipe opposite to the atomizing core is a smoke emitting outlet in communication with a suction nozzle. An e-liquid filler hole is extended from the end of the ventilation pipe provided with the smoke emitting outlet. The smoke emitting outlet and the e-liquid filler hole are located on planes of different heights; while e-liquid is being added, the outer circumferential wall of the ventilation pipe blocks the e-liquid splashed accidentally, thus preventing the e-liquid from being splashed into the ventilation pipe.

The present invention provides an aerosol generation system comprising: a controller for an inhalation device, the controller including a first power supply, a first connector, and a first processor configured to perform energization control of a heater which is used to heat an aerosol source, and a power supply device including a second power supply, a second connector which is connected to the first connector at the time of charging of the first power supply, and a second processor configured to perform control of power supply from the second power supply to the controller via the second connector, wherein a first voltage applied to a power supply terminal of the first processor and a second voltage applied to a power supply terminal of the second processor are different from each other.

An upper-assembly electronic cigarette atomizer is provided. The atomizer may include a liquid storage cup having an upper opening, and a head cover component connected with the upper opening in a threaded manner. The liquid storage cup and the head cover component may form a closed space for containing an e-liquid. The head cover component may be configured to be detached from the liquid storage cup as an integral unit. An electronic cigarette containing an upper-assembly electronic cigarette atomizer and a method of assembly are also provided.

An aerosol provision device includes a first section for containing an aerosolizable substance from which a flow of aerosol can be generated; and a second section for containing a material. In use, a flow of aerosol generated from aerosolizable substance in the first section flows through material in the second section before being inhaled by a user. The first section and the second section are located in a side-by-side arrangement in the device.

The invention relates to an inhaler, in particular an electronic cigarette product, comprising at least one evaporator unit with at least one electric evaporator for evaporating liquid supplied to the evaporator and comprising an electronic controller for controlling and/or regulating the at least one evaporator unit. The inhaler has at least one replaceable cartridge, wherein the cartridge has the evaporator unit and a liquid tank which is connected or can be connected to the evaporator unit.
