An energy storage assembly device for an aerosol generation device includes a housing intended for housing a battery; a vent component configured to vent pressurized gases from within the housing upon a predetermined pressure in the housing; whereby the housing has an elongated shape; and the housing includes on a circumference of the housing at a first extremity which is free on the inside from being filled by the battery, a first plurality of holes blinded by a blinding member, the first plurality of holes and the blinding member each being part of the vent component.

Energy storage assembly device for an aerosol generation device

A method for charging a rechargeable battery of a device, such as an electronic cigarette, involves acquiring historical data relating to the rechargeable battery from a memory unit in the device, wherein the historical data relate to at least one previous charging operation. The method involves measuring one or more parameters related to the charging of the rechargeable battery during a charging period in which a charging voltage is applied and determining a state of health of the rechargeable battery based on the one or more measured parameters and the historical data. An action is then performed on the device based on the determined state of health.

A heating assembly for a vapour generating device includes: a heating chamber arranged to hold an aerosol generating medium; a heater arranged, in use, to provide heating to the heating chamber; and an ejector arranged to controllably eject, in use, the aerosol generating medium from the heating chamber. A vapour generating device includes the heating assembly; and a vapour passage to carry vapour generated in the heating chamber from the heating chamber to an air outlet, wherein at least a portion of the vapour passage is formed by the ejector.

Vapour generating device

An aerosol generating device including: a housing having a mouth end and an opposing end, the opposing end having a vent hole; a battery within the housing, the battery having a vent point in an outer surface of the battery, the vent point arranged such that fluid is released preferentially from the vent point during degassing of the battery; and a fluid directing arrangement within the housing. The fluid directing arrangement is configured to define a fluid flow path from the vent point of the battery to the vent hole of the housing.

The present invention relates to a mouthpiece portion for an electronic cigarette, the mouthpiece portion comprising a liquid store having a housing and being configured to store a liquid to be vaporized; a main vapor channel extending through the liquid store, between a vaporization chamber and a vapor outlet opening; a mouthpiece comprising a vapor inlet and a vapor outlet; wherein the mouthpiece portion is configured to provide a relative rotatable movement between the mouthpiece and the housing of the liquid store, between a first position and a second position; and wherein the mouthpiece portion is configured to be open and only dispense vapor through the mouthpiece vapor outlet when the mouthpiece portion is in the first position, in which the vapor outlet opening of the main vapor channel is aligned with the vapor inlet of the mouthpiece.

Mouthpiece portion for an electronic cigarette

A mouthpiece portion of an electronic cigarette includes a cartridge comprising a liquid store having a housing configured to store a liquid to be vaporized, the cartridge comprising a main vapor channel extending therethrough, between an air inlet opening through a vaporization chamber and to a vapor outlet opening; a mouthpiece connectable to a main body of the electronic cigarette, the mouthpiece comprising a vapor channel for receiving vapor from the main vapor channel of the cartridge. The cartridge is axially displaceable by a consumer with respect to the mouthpiece in the axial direction A thereof and movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position both the air inlet opening and the vapor outlet opening of the cartridge are open, and in the second position both the air inlet opening and the vapor outlet opening of the cartridge are closed.

Mouthpiece portion for an electronic cigarette preventing any undesired loss of liquid

An aerosol generating device includes a planar heating element including a mesh of electrically conductive fibres, a heating rod in contact with a central portion of the planar heating element to provide a central region of high current density, thereby providing a temperature gradient across the planar heating element during use, a liquid store, and a liquid transport element arranged between the liquid store and the planar heating element and configured to transport liquid from the liquid store to the planar heating element under capillary action during use, wherein the liquid transport element is arranged in contact with an edge portion of the mesh.

Aerosol generating device

A liquid detecting system for an electronic cigarette includes a light source; a light detector; a liquid store including an internal cavity for holding liquid; and a light guide optically coupled to the light source and detector such that light emitted from the source propagates towards the detector along an optical path including an internal reflection within the light guide at a boundary with the cavity, such that light received by the detector along the optical path varies depending on contents of the cavity. Also provided are a liquid cartridge and an electronic cigarette including the system, a method for determining contents of the liquid cartridge and a computer readable medium including executable instructions which, upon execution by a device, cause the method to be performed.
