An aerosolizable formulation comprising (i) water in an amount of at least 20 wt.% based on the aerosolizable formulation; (ii) nicotine; and (iii) an acid which is at least partially water soluble; wherein at least 5 wt% of the nicotine present in the formulation is in protonated form; and wherein the formulation has a pH of from 4 to 6. A process for forming an aerosol comprising the aerosolizable formulation, the aerosolizable formulation contained in a container, an electronic aerosol provision system having an aerosolizer for aerosolizing the aerosolizable formulation for inhalation by a user, a process for improving sensory properties of an aerosolized nicotine formulation, and a process for improving the storage stability of an aerosolized nicotine formulation.

A method of forming an oral product includes extruding a mixture, conveying the extruded mixture through one or more pairs of forming rollers, and cutting the extruded mixture into one or more oral products. The mixture can include polymer and at least one flavorant, sweetener, active ingredient, or combination thereof. The extruded mixture forms an extrudate having a predetermined cross-sectional shape. The one or more pairs of forming rollers abut to define a passage there between as each forming roller rotates. The passage has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the predetermined cross-sectional shape. The method can be performed using a machine including an extruder, one or more pairs of forming rollers, and a cutting device.

Embodiments of the present invention provide pouches including a capsule delivers medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which are a non-stick oil agent that prevent the paper from sticking during use. This oil is released from the capsule and flows through the walls of the pouch paper to substantially improve mouth feel and flavor. The oil can be flavored, and the nicotine pouch offers a pleasant mouth feel during use without sticking to the gums. The capsule can also provide an anti-sting effect that reduces unpleasant effects of nicotine for sensitive users.

A nicotine pod assembly includes a nicotine reservoir to hold nicotine pre-vapor formulation, and a heater configured to vaporize nicotine pre-vapor formulation drawn from the nicotine reservoir. A device body is configured to engage with the nicotine pod assembly, and includes a controller. The controller is configured to cause the device body to detect a fault event at the nicotine electronic vaping device, classify the fault event as one of a plurality of types of fault events, and perform at least one consequent action based on the classification of the fault event.

A saturation sensor measures at least one electrical characteristic of the wick between the heating element and the probe wire at a first time and a second time, wherein the at least one electrical characteristic includes a resistance, a capacitance, or both a resistance and a capacitance. Control circuitry is configured to cause the nicotine e-vaping device to: calculate a refill rate at which the nicotine pre-vapor formulation flows onto the wick based on the at least one electrical characteristic at the first time and the at least one electrical characteristic at the second time; determine that the refill rate is less than a threshold refill rate; and output a low nicotine pre-vapor formulation alert in response to determining that the refill rate is less than the threshold refill rate.

A method for identifying converters from tobacco seedling population. The method includes: 1) sowing and cultivating tobacco seeds to be identified for 45-55 days; sampling a plurality of leaf disks from each of 45-55 days old seedlings; 2) incubating the plurality of leaf disks of each seedling in a sealed container at 37° C. for 10-12 hours, thereby obtaining a plurality of incubated tobacco leaves of each seedling; 3) immersing the plurality of incubated tobacco leaves of each seedling in an extractant, extracting alkaloids and obtaining an extract of each seedling; 4) analyzing the amounts of nicotine and nornicotine in the alkaloids extract of each seedling; and 5) automatically recognizing peaks of the alkaloids extract of each seedling, and calculating the percent nicotine conversion (PNC) and the pseudo percent nicotine conversion (PPNC).

The disclosure provides for an oral composition, the oral composition including at least one active agent, at least one filler component, and water in an amount sufficient such that the oral composition has a total moisture content of about 15% to about 30% by weight or greater based on the total weight of the oral composition.

Methods of providing an infused tobacco composition including infusing a starting tobacco composition with volatilized ...components formed by heating a volatile component source, thereby retaining at least some volatile components in the starting tobacco composition. Also infused tobacco compositions, as well as aerosol delivery systems and components for use in aerosol delivery systems, including the infused tobacco compositions.
