Embodiment Construction

[0038] The inhalers described below use a heating element to (at least partially) volatilize the composition. Alternatively or additionally, vibratory transducers, such as piezoelectric or ultrasonic transducers, may be provided instead of or in addition to the heater to volatilize the composition.

[0039] The inhaler is a simulated cigarette having a generally cylindrical structure approximately the size of a cigarette.

[0040] The inhaler has a cylindrical housing 1 which can be in one part or in several parts. The casing is wrapped by a paper-like wrapper to provide a more realistic cigarette-like look and feel.

[0041] Inside the housing 1 there is a reservoir 2 of an inhalable composition. The reservoir 2 has an outlet 3 from which flow is controlled by a ball valve 4 which is opened by an electromagnetic actuator against the action of a spring 5 which biases the ball valve 4 onto the outlet 3 . Alternatively, the outlet valve is a breath operated valve such as disc...

Abstract

A combined inhaler and refill pack. The inhaler comprises a reservoir (2) for an inhalable composition, a heating element (6) and / or a vibratory transducer to selectively volatilize at least some components of said composition and at least one inhaler capacitor (8 ), the at least one inhaler capacitor is arranged to power the heater and / or the vibration transducer when the user sucks on the inhaler. The refill pack includes a refill reservoir (33) of inhalable composition and a battery (35) coupled to a refill capacitor (34), and is arranged to engage the inhaler and simultaneously refill the reservoir (2) and extract The supplemental capacitor (34) charges the inhaler capacitor (8). The invention also relates to individual inhalers and refill packs and to methods of refilling and recharging inhalers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inhaler. Background technique [0002] Traditional e-cigarettes have a large amount of inhalable composition, a battery, and a heating element that volatilizes some of the composition as the user draws on the tip of the e-cigarette, which is then inhaled. [0003] E-cigarettes are growing in popularity because they offer an alternative to traditional tobacco that eliminates many of the carcinogens and toxins already found in tobacco products. [0004] E-cigarettes traditionally use inhalable compositions consisting of high levels of propylene glycol, glycerin, glycerol or ethylene glycol in which nicotine (or substitutes such as flavorants) is dissolved. High levels of propylene glycol cause the composition to become sticky. This is advantageous because it prevents unwanted volatilization of the composition from the device and is often contained within cotton padding, padding or other absorbent material. E-cigaret...
