Electronic cigarette compositions, devices, and related methods

Disclosed herein is an inhalable composition, suitable for use in an electronic cigarette device, comprising at least 1 g/L of nicotine and at least 2 g/L of carbon dioxide dissolved or dispersed in a solvent comprising glycerol and water, wherein the molar ratio of carbon dioxide to nicotine is at least 0.1:1; wherein glycerol is present in an amount of at least 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the inhalable composition; wherein water is present in an amount of 1-20% by weight, based on the total weight of the inhalable composition; and wherein propylene glycol, when present, is present in an amount of no more than 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the inhalable composition.

Herbage Having a Reflective Coating
20230000132 · 2023-01-05 ·

Herbage such as trimmed Cannabis flowers have a reflective coating that sparkles and improves shelf life. The invention includes a first coating of a first Cannabis plant extract including at least 60%-98% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that forms a hardened layer on the dried herbage to mechanically preserve the shape of the herbage and enables handling and grinding of the herbage. A second coating of a second Cannabis plant extract, including at least 90-99% Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) forms crystals, or “diamonds”, that are embedded in the first coating to improve aesthetics by reflecting light. The crystals improve shelf life by reducing absorption of light by the herbage. The weight sum of the combined coatings are in a particular ratio to the herbage. This ratio is between 1:4 and 2:1 on a weight to weight basis to cause the herbage to sparkle, to improve shelf life, and to enable grinding without sticking.
