A piezoelectric dispenser includes a refill having a container having a neck and defining a fluid reservoir, a wick holder affixed to the neck, and a wick retained by the wick holder that has an upper end that is in communication with a piezoelectric assembly, the wick defining a longitudinal axis. The dispenser further includes a housing having a base and an overhanging cover that defines a fluid outlet and extends inward from the base at a shoulder, toward the longitudinal axis, the overhanging cover being disposed around and above the upper end of the wick and housing the piezoelectric assembly. The piezoelectric assembly includes a coil compression spring and the base is provided on a rear side of the refill with the left, right, and front sides being exposed to a surrounding environment after the refill has been coupled with the overhanging cover.

Methods and apparatus for vaporizing liquid into the surrounding environment, including directing liquid from a liquid source to a vaporization port where the vaporization port has lateral dimensions varying from 10 um to 300 um, applying heat to the liquid in the vaporization port with an at least one heating element located in thermal communication to the vaporization port, and releasing vaporized liquid from the vaporization port into the surrounding environment so that fluid is transported through the depth of the structure.

Methods, systems and devices associated with a scented electronic candle are described. In one example, an electronic candle includes an outer shell with one or more openings configured to allow a fragrance to exit to an ambient environment of the electronic candle. The outer shell comprises a central opening such that a flame element protrudes at least partially through the central opening. The device includes a light emitting component to emit a light onto the movable flame, and a mounting base positioned below the movable flame element. The device also includes a scent storage component removably coupled to the mounting base. The scent storage component includes a container to store a fragrance and an absorption member configured to draw the fragrance to the ambient environment of the electronic candle through the one or more small openings of the outer shell.

An electrically heated aerosol-generating device includes a main housing having a cavity, a closure body engageable with the main housing to enclose a cartridge in the cavity, and a heater assembly. The heater assembly includes an elongate piercing assembly configured to extend into the open-ended passage of the cartridge and one or more electric heaters. The piercing assembly has a first hollow shaft portion connected to the main housing and a second hollow shaft portion connected to the closure body. The first and second hollow shaft portions have first and second piercing surfaces configured to breakthrough first and second frangible seals when the cartridge is enclosed in the cavity.

The present invention discloses not a candle but an experience which provides far more benefits than traditional candles and electric candles and similar assemblies. The product is developed from eco-friendly and non-toxic materials and has crystallized glow which is 50% brighter than traditional lightning systems. The structure provides aromatherapy and light therapy and an also produce enough wavelength nanometers (480-520) to utilize this self-illuminating, highly scented, gel candle as a replacement for a light therapy box.

Methods and apparatus for vaporizing liquid into the surrounding environment, including directing liquid from a liquid source through an inverse-opal wicking structure to a vaporization port where the vaporization port is formed by a through-hole in a structure connecting a first side of the structure to a second side, with all dimensions ranging from 10 um to 300 um, that is in fluid communication with the liquid source and the surrounding environment so that fluid is transported through the vaporization port between the first and the second side. The methods and apparatus includes plurality of heating elements that may be individually and/or selectively addressable by at least three electrode leads.

An electronic scented candle is described that includes a movable flame-shaped component, a shell including an installation chamber, a fragrance container that is removably positioned inside the installation chamber and a scent chamber. An electric fan is positioned within the shell to drive the air into the scent chamber and a scent outlet coupled to the scent chamber to allow the fragrance material to leave the scent chamber and to reach an external environment of the electronic scented candle. The electronic candle also includes a receptacle for connecting a power cord on a bottom surface of the electronic candle. The bottom surface includes a plurality of protruding stands that provide a space to allow the power cord to be connected to the receptacle and be routed below the bottom surface.

Methods of operating a heating oven for use with a heat-not-burn portable heating device for the delivery of vaporized natural consumables are disclosed. The oven operates according to one or more temperature profiles for the duration of a heating session. The oven heats a flower stick filled with natural consumables to vaporize volatile compounds for the inhalation and enjoyment of the user. The oven operates by both conduction and convection via knitted wire filters that have high surface area and thermal mass to enable rapid heat transfer and stabilization of temperatures.

Described are articles formed of a pulp base material comprising fibers, wherein pores are formed between the fibers. A volatile composition with at least one top note component and at least one base note component at least partially fills the pores of the pulp base material. A release rate of the at least one top note component is modulated by the pulp base material, and a release rate of the at least one base note component is enhanced by the pulp base material.
