A vaporizer tank unit for an inhaler, preferably an electronic cigarette product comprises at least an electric vaporizer for vaporizing liquid fed to the vaporizer, a liquid reservoir for storing liquid, and a capillary wick structure, wherein the liquid is feedable by capillary forces from the liquid reservoir to an inlet side of the vaporizer. The wick structure is one-piece and contacts and/or forms the liquid reservoir over at least one circumferential section.

Evaporator tank unit for an inhaler, preferably an electronic cigarette product, electronic cigarette product and wick structure

A vaporizer cartridge, as a component of an inhaler, has a hollow body with a continuous flow channel and a storage tank for storing liquid. The storage tank has at least one access opening to the flow channel and a vaporizer unit arranged in the region of the access opening and extending over the entire access opening. The vaporizer unit has a wick member and a heating member. The vaporizer unit is formed to be liquid-permeable such that liquid can be conveyed at least initially in a capillary manner out of the storage tank through the vaporizer unit in the direction of the flow channel. The wick member is formed from a plurality of granular grains which form microchannels as a result of their fill and/or formation. An inhaler is also provided.

Vaporizer cartridge and inhaler comprising such a vaporizer cartridge

An inhaler vaporizer cartridge includes a housing body with a flow channel, a liquid storage tank, and a vaporizer unit. The vaporizer unit has a wick member and heating member and is liquid-permeable such that liquid is conveyed from the tank through the vaporizer unit to the flow channel. The housing body has a cavity forming the tank and a wick member receiving chamber, and housing is divided by an intermediate wall and a flow channel section. An access opening from the receiving chamber to the flow channel is formed in the intermediate wall and covered by the heating member. Granular grains in the receiving chamber form the wick member and bear against the heating member. The grains form microchannels and are retained by a cover element. An access opening, covered with a liquid-permeable grid structure, establishes a liquid connection from the tank to receiving chamber in the intermediate wall.

The vaporizer unit is liquid-permeable such that liquid is conveyed at least initially in a capillary manner from the storage tank through the vaporizer unit in the direction of the flow channel. The wick member is formed from a plurality of granular grains which, as a result of their fill and/or formation, form microchannels which establish a fluid connection between the storage tank and the flow channel, continuously from an entry side to an exit side of the wick member. An additional securing means is provided which is holds the granular wick member in position. A corresponding inhaler is also provided.

A method for producing vaporizer units as a component of inhalers includes the steps: a) providing a flexible circuit board material with sites for individual vaporizer units, the material optionally prestructured with conductor paths and/or pre-punched areas predetermined in terms of position/course for each site; b) providing and placing a heating element which may be electrically connected to the conductor paths; and c) at least partial covering each site with a sealing material for the formation of a partial sheathing for each vaporizer unit. The sealing material is applied such that the sheathing covers an edge region of the heating element while keeping open a heating surface on an upper side of the circuit board material. At least the outer surfaces of the sheathing pointing away from the circuit board material form sealing surfaces. Vaporizer units, vaporizer assemblies, vaporizer cartridges and inhalers with such vaporizer units are also provided.
