An electronic smoking article, a method of manufacturing an electronic smoking article, and a method of achieving a smoking experience without combusting tobacco are disclosed. The electronic smoking article includes an authenticated first section, which includes an aerosol generation unit having at least one heater; an authenticated second section, which includes a power supply operable to apply voltage to the at least one heater for heating a liquid in at least a portion of the aerosol generation unit to form an aerosol; and a conductive ink circuit embedded within the first and second sections, and wherein the power supply and the aerosol generation unit are electrically connected upon joining the first and second sections, and wherein each of the first and second sections has a portion of the conductive ink circuit.

[Object] To propose a novel and improved fragrance material holding member and fragrance providing device that can improve persistence of a fragrance material while avoiding an increase in the size of the device. [Solution] Provided is a fragrance material holding member including: an airflow passage through which air supplied from an airflow source passes, the airflow passage being provided to penetrate the fragrance material holding member; and a holding space that branches from the airflow passage and holds a fragrance material.

A device has a container for a substance to be dispensed. A wick as a capillary element in contact with the substance in the container and forms part of the container. The wick has a wick-side substance dispensing area. A heating element produces a substance air flow, which is enriched with substance and flows away from the device, by heating the wick-side substance dispensing area and a substantially substance-free hot air flow that flows away from the device and is warmer than the substance air flow, by heating the air surrounding the heating element. A flow-guiding and/or deflecting apparatus guides and/or deflects at least one of the air flows, preferably the substance-free hot air flow, such that the air flows hit each other, preferably at a defined angle of incidence, and form a common substance-and-hot-air flow flowing away from the device.

A mosquito repeller includes a casing, a mosquito repellent liquid bottle, and a first heating element installed in the casing. The first heating element includes a first heat-generating body and a cotton swab. The first heat-generating body is inserted into the cotton swab, and an end of the cotton swab away from the first heat-generating body extends into the mosquito repellent liquid bottle. Since the first heat-generating body is inserted into the cotton swab, heat is concentrated at the center of the cotton swab, and the cotton swab is heated uniformly, and the vaporization of the mosquito repellent liquid is stable to improve the mosquito repelling effect of the mosquito repeller, while reducing the power consumption of the mosquito repeller, saving energy, avoiding a temperature rise of components near the heat-generating components, retarding the ageing of components, and extending the service life of the mosquito repeller.

Described is a scent producing assembly having a self-contained module comprising an absorptive matrix infused with a volatile composition and a housing. The housing may include a receptacle shaped to receive the module, wherein the housing has a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position, the receptacle may be contained within an interior of the housing. In the deployed position, the receptacle may be displaced out of the housing. The receptacle may move along an arcuate path when the receptacle is moved between the stowed and deployed positions.

A volatile material atomizing device comprises a housing having a fan, a fluid outlet, a plurality of air inlets and a plurality of air outlets. The plurality of air outlets are positioned at least partially around the fluid outlet. A fluid reservoir includes a wick and containing a volatile material. The fluid reservoir is disposed within the housing. An atomizing assembly is in fluid communication with the wick and positioned in the housing. The atomizing assembly is configured to dispense the volatile material out of the fluid outlet.

A modified liquid electrical vaporiser is disclosed with a modified chimney that provides enhanced distribution of actives.

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.

A volatile material dispenser includes a housing that defines a longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The volatile material dispenser also includes a cylinder that includes an inner wall that defines an opening and an interior edge, a resistor embedded in the cylinder, and a heater chassis that includes an inner wall that defines a passage between an upper end and a lower end. The upper end of the heater chassis abuts the interior edge of the cylinder. In addition, the inner wall of the cylinder extends away from the longitudinal axis at a first angle and the inner wall of the heater chassis extends away from the longitudinal axis at a second angle.

A heating oven for use with a heat-not-burn portable heating device for the delivery of vaporized natural consumables, and methods of operating the oven are disclosed. 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. The oven operates according to one or more temperature profiles for the duration of a heating session.
