A method of controlling operation of an inhaling device is provided, the inhaling device including a gas flow path through which gas can be drawn by the action of a user puff, a gas flow sensor within the gas flow path, and a memory, the method including recording gas flow measurements from the gas flow sensor; comparing the gas flow measurements with the user puff signature stored in the memory to provide a correlation score; and enabling or disabling further operation of the device based on a value of the correlation score. The method allows an inhaling device, such as an electrically operated smoking device or a medical inhaler, to authenticate a user of the device based on a detected puffing behavior.

The present disclosure relates to a control method of an electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette includes the following steps: (a) a mobile device sending a control signal to a server; (b) the server receiving and sending the control signal to the electronic cigarette; and (c) the electronic cigarette receiving the control signal and controlling the working circuit to connect with the power supply based on the control signal.

The present disclosure relates to a control method of an electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette includes an atomizing element, a working circuit, and a power supply. The working circuit is electrically connected to the atomizing element. The control method includes the following steps: (a) establishing a wireless communication connection with a mobile device, the mobile device being configured for emitting a control signal; (b) to acquire the control signal; and (c) if receiving the control signal, controlling the working circuit to connect with the power supply; if not receiving the control signal, returning to step (b).

A biometric handheld vaporizer has a housing, a mouthpiece, an oil reservoir, an atomizer, a battery, a battery charging port, a fingerprint sensor, and a microcontroller. The handheld vaporizer remains inoperable until a user submits a photo ID for age verification. One method of using a biometric handheld vaporizer involves inputting fingerprints into the vaporizer, the fingerprints stored on the microcontroller; and, when a user desires to use the vaporizer, placing the authorized fingerprint on the fingerprint sensor, which, upon authorization, closes a circuit to activate an atomizer within the vaporizer.

A mobile inhaler is provided and a container for using therewith. The mobile inhaler comprises: a mouthpiece comprising at least one inhaling opening; a body element connected to the mouthpiece and comprising a housing for holding a DC power source; a power conversion unit comprising an inverter operative to convert a DC voltage provided by a DC power source, into a higher AC voltage; a nebulizer comprising an ultrasonic vibrator and a mesh, wherein the ultrasonic vibrator is activated by the AC voltage, and wherein the nebulizer is adapted to enable converting into aerosol droplets at least part of a liquid comprised in an enclosure, and the aerosol droplets to be directly inhaled from the mouthpiece; and an enclosure adapted to enable holding a liquid, and characterized in that it provides a connection to enable fluid transfer from the enclosure to the nebulizer.

An aerosol delivery or electronic nicotine delivery systems (“ENDS”) device may include smoking articles that produce aerosol. The device may operate upon authentication. The authentication may first include an age verification before an authentication allows for operation of the device. The authentication may include a control signal communication to the device. The control signal communication may include an audio signal, such as an authentication tone that is detected by a microphone or pressure sensor on the device. The control signal communication may include a visual, optical, or light signal that is detected by a light sensor or photodiode on the device.

A vape device system including a payload reservoir that is identified by a payload identifier and that is configured to hold a substance for atomization. A processor is configured to determine an operational setting based on at least one of the payload identifier and a secondary data, which may include user information, prescription information, location information, payload information, historical vape device usage information, and historical payload reservoir information. A vape device system, and method of using the same, that includes a vape device and a computing device that includes the processor. A method of controlling a vape device including determining an operational setting of the vape device based on the payload identifier and/or secondary data. The operational settings may include a duty cycle setting, a temperature setting, an operational time duration, a dosage setting, and a security setting.

Disclosed is a mouthpiece assembly, including a lower mouthpiece cover and an upper mouthpiece cover. The lower mouthpiece cover is provided with a first air inlet passage and a first air outlet passage. The upper mouthpiece cover is provided with an air exiting hole. The upper mouthpiece cover can move relative to the lower mouthpiece cover. When the upper mouthpiece cover is in a first connection state relative to the lower mouthpiece cover, the first air inlet passage is in communication with the outside, and the first air outlet passage is in communication with the air exiting hole; and when the upper mouthpiece cover is in a second connection state relative to the lower mouthpiece cover, the first air inlet passage and the first air outlet passage are closed by the upper mouthpiece cover.

The present disclosure discloses an electronic atomization device and an aerosol generator. The electronic atomization device includes a shell, an atomization core assembly, and a locking piece. The atomization core assembly is detachably mounted in the mounting hole. The first end of the locking piece is rotationally connected with an open end of the mounting hole, and the second end of the locking piece is detachably connected with the shell. When the first end rotates to the second end and connects to the shell, the locking piece partially protrudes in the mounting direction of the atomization core assembly and blocks the atomization core assembly from moving in the mounting direction. When the second end is disconnected from the shell and rotates around the first end in the direction away from the shell, the locking piece unlocks the atomization core assembly.
