DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0079] In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying Figures. In the Figures, like elements are denoted by identical reference numerals and repeated description thereof may be omitted in order to avoid redundancies.

[0080] FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of an e-cigarette 100 having a dispensing arrangement 1. In this embodiment, the dispensing arrangement 1 is incorporated into the e-cigarette 100. The e-cigarette 100 is further provided with a vaporizing unit 2 which comprises a liquid reservoir 4 for retaining a liquid to be vaporized and further a heater element 20 in form of a heating coil arranged in a vaporizing chamber 22, wherein the liquid reservoir 4 opens into the vaporizing chamber 22 via a reservoir outlet 24. A power supply 6 in form of a battery for supplying the vaporizing unit with electric energy is arranged adjacent the vaporizing unit 2. For controlling the vaporizing unit 2 and thus the vaporizing of the liquid, a control circuit arrangement 7 is provided controllable by a switch 70 which can be operated by a user. Furthermore, the vaporizing chamber 20 is connected to a flow channel 3 configured to guide the flow of the vaporized liquid to a mouthpiece outlet 80.

[0081] Between the vaporizing unit 2 and the mouthpiece outlet 80, a separate composition reservoir 12 retaining an additional liquid carrier composition comprising an anti-aging-compound to be added into a flow of vaporized liquid in form of a hollow cylinder is arranged around the flow channel 3, wherein a fluidic connection between the composition reservoir 12 and the flow channel 3 is provided by means of a dispensing unit 10. The dispensing unit 10 in this embodiment is provided in form of a nozzle. Alternatively, the dispensing unit 10 can also be provided in form of at least a perforation, valve or any other suitable orifice, or in form of at least a capillary or a wick.

[0082] When a user is sucking on the mouthpiece for operating the e-cigarette, a negative pressure is applied to the flow channel 3 and thus the vaporizing chamber 22. As a consequence, liquid is lead from the liquid reservoir 4 into the vaporizing chamber 20 by means of capillary action. When the switch 70 is operated by the user, the heater element 20 vaporizes the liquid at a temperature between 65 C. and 120 C. By the act of sucking, the vaporized liquid is caused to flow towards the mouthpiece opening 80. On its way from the vaporizing chamber 22 to the mouthpiece outlet 80, the flow of vaporized liquid passes the dispensing unit 10. Since the heater element 20 and the dispensing unit 10 are spaced apart from another, a cooling section is provided in the flow channel 3 between the heater element 20 and the dispensing unit 10, in which the vaporized liquid is able to cool down such that the vaporized liquid has a temperature below 35 C. at the dispensing unit 10. The adding of the composition into the flow of vaporized liquid is caused by a passive intake through the dispensing unit 10 due to the negative pressure in the flow channel 3. Thereby, the nozzle shape of the dispensing unit 10 causes a nebulization of the additional composition such that the additional composition is converted into an aerosol having a respirable droplet size, wherein the aerosol is evenly distributed in the flow of vaporized liquid when passing the mouthpiece outlet 80.

[0083] In addition, a unit capable of producing a negative pressure, i.e. lowering the pressure inside the flow channel 3 below ambient pressure, may be provided. Instead of a passive intake, the composition can also be actively injected by the dispensing unit 10 wherein the dispensing unit 10 then preferably is provided in form of an injection valve.

[0084] In FIG. 2 a schematic sectional view of another exemplary embodiment of an e-cigarette 100 comprising a separate dispensing arrangement 1 is shown. The dispensing arrangement 1 is connected with a vaporizing unit 2 according to the vaporizing unit shown in FIG. 1 via a connector 16 which is in communication with a counterpart connector 5 arranged at the vaporizing unit 2. Here, the connector 16 is provided with an external thread and the counterpart connector 5, consequently, is provided with an internal thread. For sealing the connection between the dispensing arrangement 1 and the vaporizing unit 2, a sealing 50 is provided at the end face 52 of the counterpart connector 5.

[0085] The dispensing arrangement 1, furthermore, is integrally connected to a mouthpiece 8 having a mouthpiece outlet 80. Between the mouthpiece outlet 80 and the vaporizing chamber 22, again, a flow channel 3 is provided for guiding the flow of vaporized liquid.

[0086] Inside the flow channel 3, a composition reservoir 12 in form of a porous solid body impregnated with an additional composition is arranged, wherein the composition reservoir is spaced apart from the vaporizing chamber 22. The porous solid body, in this embodiment, is a steel wool cylinder. Here, a dispensing unit 10 for adding the additional composition into the flow of vaporized liquid is provided in the form of passageways in the porous solid body. Hence, when the vaporized liquid flows through the passageways, droplets of the additional composition are dragged along the flow of vaporized liquid and thereby added into the flow of vaporized liquid.

[0087] FIGS. 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of a vaporizing unit 2 and an attached dispensing arrangement 1 of an e-cigarette 100, wherein FIG. 3 shows a schematic perspective exploded view of the dispensing arrangement 1 of the e-cigarette 100 and FIG. 4 shows a schematic perspective view of the dispensing arrangement 1. In this exemplary embodiment, a composition reservoir 12 comprising an anti-aging-compound is provided in form of a hollow cylinder consisting of steel wool and is arranged in a reservoir seating 13 separate to the flow channel 3. The dispensing unit 10 in this embodiment is formed by passageways through the porous solid body and by openings connecting the flow channel 3 and the separate reservoir seating 13. By means of air inlet openings 14 provided on an outer shell 26 of the e-cigarette 100, a fluidic connection is provided through the reservoir seating 13 and hence through the composition reservoir 12 from the one air inlet openings 14 to the dispensing unit 10.

[0088] Further, a detachable cap 15 is provided for capping the reservoir seating 13 such that the composition reservoir 12 can easily be replaced or refilled with the additional composition. The cap 15 comprises a mouthpiece connection in form of a connection socket 30 for receiving a connector plug of a mouthpiece. Here, the connection socket 30 is adapted to receive a so called drip tip connector plug. Thus, commonly available mouthpieces can be connected to the e-cigarette 100. The connection socket 30 furthermore functions as an outlet of the flow channel 3.

[0089] When a user is sucking on the mouthpiece and thereby applying a negative pressure to the flow channel 3, ambient air is sucked through the air inlet openings 14, flowing through the reservoir seating 13 and the dispensing unit 10 into the flow channel 3. Hence, an additional air flow into the flow channel 3 is provided. Since the additional air sucked in through the air inlet openings 14 flows through the composition reservoir 12 seated in the reservoir seating 13, the additional composition is added into the additional air flow. When, at the same time, the vaporizing unit 2 is operated by the user, a flow of vaporized liquid is created likewise to those in FIGS. 1 and 2. The additional air flow comprising the additional composition and the flow of vaporized liquid are mixed in the flow channel 3 downstream the dispensing unit 10 such that the flow leaving a mouthpiece outlet into the user's throat is a mixture of vaporized liquid, ambient air and the additional composition. Furthermore, an additional cooling of the vaporized liquid is provided by the additional air flow having ambient temperature. Hence, the e-cigarette can have a very compact design.

[0090] In FIG. 5, a schematic perspective view of another embodiment of a dispensing unit 1 is shown. FIG. 6 shows the dispensing arrangement 1 of FIG. 5 in a schematic exploded view. Likewise the dispensing unit depicted in FIG. 2, the dispensing unit 1 comprises a cylindrical composition reservoir 12 formed by steel wool, which is seated in a reservoir seating 13 inside the flow channel 3 extending from a connector 16 to a mouthpiece opening 80 of the dispensing arrangement 1. The dispensing unit 1 in this embodiment is formed as a mouthpiece 8. For this purpose, the connector 16 of the dispensing arrangement 1 is provided in form of a drip tip plug. Hence, the dispensing arrangement 1 can be connected to commonly available e-cigarettes, wherein an ordinary mouthpiece is replaced by the dispensing arrangement 1. For replacing or refilling the composition reservoir 12, the dispensing arrangement 1 comprises a detachable cap 15. According to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the additional composition is added into a flow of vaporized liquid emanating from a vaporizing unit to which the dispensing arrangement 1 is connected in that the vaporized liquid flows though passageways in the composition reservoir 12 which functions as dispensing unit 10.

[0091] It will be obvious for a person skilled in the art that these specific embodiments only depict examples of a plurality of possibilities. Hence, the embodiments described herein should not be understood to form a limitation of these features and configurations. Any possible combination and configuration of the described features can be chosen according to the scope of the invention.
