A device including a first flow channel, a second flow channel and a body part including an inner volume. A first space of the inner volume is adapted to be filled with liquid and a second space of the inner volume is arranged to receive steam. The device further includes means for conveying a gas flow from the steam space of the inner volume via the first flow channel to the outside of the device during inhalation and means for conveying the exhaled gas flow from the outside of the device via the second flow channel to the first space of the inner volume. The device further includes means for measuring a flow and a temperature of an airflow, and means for adjusting the flow of the airflow mechanically and/or automatically. The present disclosure further relates to a method and a system.

An apparatus for an electronic aerosol provision system may include a replaceable cartridge for the electronic aerosol provision system or a fixed component of a re-fillable or disposable electronic aerosol provision system. The apparatus includes a reservoir for a source liquid and a carrier module supported within the reservoir. The carrier module defines an airflow path within the reservoir and includes a heating element supported in the airflow path for generating an aerosol from the source liquid and first and second mounting parts which cooperatively engage to support the heating element. The first and second mounting parts cooperatively engage at an interface which extends in a direction substantially parallel to a direction along which air flows in the airflow path when the apparatus is in normal use. A gap between the first and second mounting parts may provide a capillary channel for drawing source liquid to the heating element from the reservoir heating during use.

An electronic cigarette, which comprises an atomization assembly and a battery assembly, the battery assembly is electrically connected to the atomization assembly. The atomization assembly comprises a light permeable e-liquid storage sleeve, an e-liquid storage cavity is formed in the e-liquid storage sleeve, an end of the e-liquid storage sleeve is an open end in communication with the e-liquid storage cavity, a connector is provided at the open end, an atomization core detachably connected to the connector is inserted in the connector. A battery sleeve of the electronic cigarette is directly detachably connected onto the e-liquid storage sleeve, which and prevents the shortcoming in which the atomization core is unplugged by the user when rotating the battery sleeve.

The present application discloses an atomizing assembly and electronic cigarette. The atomizing assembly comprises a connecting assembly, an atomizing core, an oil cup assembly and a sealing gasket. The connecting assembly comprises a connecting base and a lower electrode. The oil cup assembly comprises an oil storage sleeve, a vent pipe, and a mounting sleeve which enclose to form an oil storage chamber for storing smoke oil. The connecting base and the oil storage sleeve are either abutted against or expandedly fitted with each other. The connecting base is cappingly provided on an oil filler of the oil storage sleeve. The atomizing core comprises an atomizing sleeve, a heating wire assembly, a smoke oil retention member and an inner electrode. The inner electrode is abutted against and electrically connected to the lower electrode. The atomizing core is slidably sleeved in the mounting sleeve.

An apparatus configured to volatilize components of smokable material for inhalation, comprising a smokable material heating chamber and a heating material which is configured to be heated by the presence of a varying magnetic field, wherein the heating material is arranged to transfer heat energy to smokable material in the heating chamber to volatilize said components.

A resistive foil heater for a portable inhaler. A reservoir of vapor material, usually a fluid, has transport by the foil to directly heat the material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the material to the gas phase. The foil may have a dimpled plate shape, or box shape, a capillary or parallel plate shape.

This cartridge is provided with a flavor source housing which houses a flavor source, and a mesh body which is arranged on at least one end of the flavor source housing. The mesh body has multiple openings. Each of the openings has a polygonal shape with interior angles of less than or equal to 180°. As lengths that pass through the center of gravity of each opening, each opening has a minimum length that is shortest and a maximum length that is longest. The minimum length is less than the smallest size of the raw material pieces, and the maximum length is greater than the minimum length.

An exemplary mouthpiece assembly includes a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece includes a sucking end, a connecting end, and an air passage. The sucking end defines an air outlet, and the connecting end defines an air inlet. The mouthpiece assembly further includes a partition element dividing the air passage into an air intake chamber and an air outlet chamber. The mouthpiece further includes a sidewall defining at least one first through hole and at least one second through hole, the first through hole is in communication with the air intake chamber, and the second through hole is in communication with the air outlet chamber. The mouthpiece assembly further includes an air adjusting ring defining at least one gap. The air adjusting ring is rotatable relative to mouthpiece, so that an overlapped area among the first through hole, the at least one gap, and the second through hole can be changed.
