Abstract

The present invention describes an aerosol supply system (500), such as an electronic cigarette, comprising an aerosol source (502) for generating an aerosol from a source liquid containing a liquid formulation (eg, containing nicotine). The system includes an air passage (520) disposed between the aerosol source and the mouthpiece opening (516) through which the user inhales the aerosol during use. The air channel is defined by the wall, and at least a portion of the inner surface of the wall is provided with a surface treatment to increase wettability of the surface of the liquid formulation. For example, part or all of the inner surface of the wall of the air channel may be provided with a textured portion. For example, during manufacture, the texturing portion may be provided during the molding process for the air channel assembly of the aerosol supply system. Increasing the wettability of the air channel can help reduce the likelihood of aerosols condensing on the walls of the air channel as droplets of liquid formulation and being drawn from the air channel into the user's mouth.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems, such as nicotine delivery systems (eg, electronic cigarettes). Background technique [0002] Aerosol delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes, typically include a reservoir of a source liquid containing an aerosol-generating agent (typically, including nicotine), eg, by vaporization or otherwise. Accordingly, the aerosol source of the aerosol supply system may comprise a heater coupled from the reservoir to a portion of the source liquid. When the user inhales on the device, the heater is activated to vaporize a small amount of the source liquid, thus, the source liquid is converted into an aerosol which is inhaled by the user. More specifically, such devices are typically provided with one or more air inlet apertures located remotely from the mouthpiece of the system. When a user draws on the mouthpiece, air is drawn through the inlet aperture and past the aerosol source. A flow path is conn...
