AEROSOL PROVISION SYSTEM
A body 4, for an aerosol provision system 200 for generating an aerosol from an aerosolizable material. The body 4 comprises a receptacle 8 for releasably receiving a cartridge 2. The receptacle 8 comprises at least one air inlet 14 and a plenum chamber 202. In this way, the receptacle 8 is configured for allowing the cartridge 2 to engage against a portion of the plenum chamber 202 when the receptacle 8 is releasably receiving the cartridge 2, for then allowing a flow of air to pass from outside of the receptacle 8, through the at least one air inlet 14, into the receptacle 8, and then into the plenum chamber 202.
AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE
An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device includes a container having a first passage; a container head, which is disposed on the container and has a first outlet at a bottom surface to communicate with the first passage; a mouthpiece, which is pivotably connected to the container head and has a second passage; and a sealing cap projecting outwards from the mouthpiece, wherein the sealing cap closes the first outlet when the mouthpiece is pivoted to a first position, and the sealing cap opens the first outlet to allow the first outlet to communicate with the second passage when the mouthpiece is pivoted to a second position.
Nicotine pod assemblies and nicotine e-vaping devices
A nicotine e-vaping device may include a nicotine pod assembly and a device body. The nicotine pod assembly has upstream and downstream ends and is configured to hold a nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The upstream end may define at least one upstream recess, and the downstream end may define at least one downstream recess. The device body defines a through hole configured to receive the nicotine pod assembly. The through hole includes an upstream sidewall and a downstream sidewall. The upstream sidewall may include at least one upstream protrusion, and the downstream sidewall may include at least one downstream protrusion. The at least one upstream protrusion and the at least one downstream protrusion may be configured to engage with the at least one upstream recess and the at least one downstream recess, respectively, so as to retain the nicotine pod assembly within the through hole of the device body.
Discrete apparatus for self-administration of cannabinoids
A device is provided for the self-administration of cannabinoids. The device includes a container having an opening on a first end thereof, a cap which releasably engages said first end of said container, and an assembly, including first and second modules, which is removably placed inside of the container. The first module includes a first element equipped with first and second threading, a receptacle for said solid medium, said receptacle being equipped with at least one surface feature which slidingly engages said first threading, and a solid medium which is seated in said receptacle and which contains at least one cannabinoid. The second module is equipped with a filter and has a first threading disposed on a first terminal portion thereof. Various accessories may be releasably attached to the container or assembly. Methods of using the device are also described.

Mouthpiece for Vaporizer Including Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity Heater
A mouthpiece for a vaporizer device includes a vapor inlet and an aerosol outlet. A first plurality of air inlets and a second plurality of air inlets are disposed between the vapor inlet and the aerosol outlet and configured to provide air streams. The air streams form a first vortex and a second vortex. The air streams mix with a vapor entering from the vapor inlet and form an aerosol exiting through the aerosol outlet. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
