An electronic cigarette includes an inhaler body and a removable capsule with a base, connectable to the inhaler body. The inhaler body includes a first NFC tag and the removable capsule includes a second NCF tag, the first NFC tag and the second NFC tag being configured to exchange data when the removable capsule is connected to the inhaler body. The inhaler body includes an opening for receiving the removable capsule and at least one aperture for facilitating the electromagnetic connection between the first NFC tag and the second NFC tag.

Electronic cigarette with near field communication

A capsule for an electronic cigarette has a first end for engaging with an electronic cigarette device and a second end configured as a mouthpiece portion having a vapor outlet. The capsule further includes a liquid store configured to contain a liquid to be vaporized, a vaporizing unit comprising a heater and a fluid transfer element, the vaporizing unit being arranged within a vaporizing chamber, a main vapor channel extending from the vaporizing chamber to the vapor outlet in the mouthpiece, and a housing enclosing the liquid store and the vaporizing unit, wherein the fluid transfer element is fluidly connected to the liquid store by at least one liquid inlet and the fluid transfer element provides a capillary action on liquid received therein, wherein the heater is provided at a position that is substantially adjacent the liquid inlet, or at a position between the liquid inlet and the mouthpiece.

Electronic cigarette with optimised vaporisation

A printed circuit board mechanically supports electrical and/or electronic components for an electronic smoking article. The board includes at least one flexible portion and at least one rigidized portion, wherein the flexible portion and the rigidized portion include a common flexible layer stack including at least one structured metal layer. The rigidized portion further includes at least one rigidizing layer stack including at least one structured metal layer, wherein the rigidizing layer stack is arranged on at least one surface of the common flexible layer stack. At least a part of the structured metal layer of the common flexible layer stack in the flexible portion is structured as an electromagnetic coil forming an NFC-antenna and at least a part of the respective structured metal layers of the common flexible layer stack and the rigidizing layer are structured for acting together as an electromagnetic induction coil suitable for wireless charging.

Printed circuit board with NFC-antenna

An electronic cigarette includes an inhaler body and a removable capsule. The inhaler body includes a power unit, a control circuitry and a capsule seating configured to connect with the capsule. The capsule includes a liquid store configured to contain a liquid to be vaporized, a vaporization chamber, a vapor outlet, a vaporizing unit including a heater and a fluid transfer element. The fluid transfer element has a liquid uptake portion located inside the liquid store and a liquid delivery portion in contact with the heater inside the vaporization chamber. A main vapor flow channel extends from the vaporization chamber to the vapor outlet. A first seal sealingly connects the vaporization chamber and the vapor flow channel, whereby the seal is configured to compress the fluid transfer element in the radial direction of the fluid transfer element in order to control the flow of liquid into the vaporization chamber.

Electronic cigarette and capsule for an electronic cigarette

An electronic cigarette device includes an elongate main body including a power supply unit, electrical circuitry and a seating for a liquid reservoir. Front and back panels are slidably attached to the elongate main body and configured to move in the longitudinal direction between an extended position and a retracted position. The panels include connectors configured to slide on rail members in a longitudinal direction. The connectors include a movable portion that is movable relative to a fixed portion, and which allows movement of the panel in a direction that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the rail members.

Electronic cigarette with protective cover

A capsule for an electronic cigarette has a first end for engaging with an electronic cigarette device and a second end configured as a mouthpiece portion having a vapor outlet, the capsule further including a liquid store configured to contain a liquid to be vaporized, a vaporizing unit including a heater and a fluid transfer element, the vaporizing unit being arranged within a vaporizing chamber, a main vapor channel extending from the vaporizing chamber to the vapor outlet in the mouthpiece, and a housing enclosing the liquid store and the vaporizing unit, wherein the heater is a heating coil with a height corresponding to 25%-50% of the height of the fluid transfer element, wherein the power density of the heater is between 4000 and 7000 W/m2K, and the power density is between 1.10 to 2.350 Watt/mm2.

Electronic cigarette with optimised vaporisation with reduced droplet formation

A capsule for an electronic cigarette has a first end for engaging with an electronic cigarette device and a second end configured as a mouthpiece portion having a vapor outlet, the capsule further including a liquid store configured to contain a liquid to be vaporized, a vaporizing unit including a heater and a fluid transfer element, the vaporizing unit being arranged within a vaporizing chamber, a main vapor channel extending from the vaporizing chamber to the vapor outlet in the mouthpiece, and a housing enclosing the liquid store and the vaporizing unit, wherein the housing includes inner and outer housings that are assembled together, wherein the liquid store is located in a void in-between the inner and outer housings, wherein a seal is provided between the inner and outer housings, and wherein the seal has a cross-sectional shape having a cross-sectional height that is larger than a cross-sectional width.

An aerosol generating device, in particular an electronic cigarette or a vaporizer, has means to avoid children or young persons to use said aerosol generating device.

Aerosol generating device

A container for an aerosol generating device is disclosed. The container has a body has a body comprising a first portion configured to receive an aerosol generating device and one or more retention means externally accessible from the body, each retention means being configured to releasably retain a module.

Container for an aerosol generating device

A container for an aerosol generating device comprises receiving means for receiving the aerosol generating device. One or more tanks are each arranged to retain a substance in use. For each tank, there is dispensing means for controllably transferring the substance from the tank to the aerosol generating device while the aerosol generating device is in the container.
