Benefits of technology

The patent is about devices that can mimic smoking without burning plant material like tobacco. These devices are becoming popular because they offer a similar experience. The technical effect is that these devices provide a safer and alternative way to inhale vaporisable material.

Problems solved by technology

However, such devices are not always popular with consumers because they produce inconsistent levels of vapour and are often unreliable in terms of the length of use of the vaporisable material, as well as providing inconsistent and unreliable flavour / taste delivery to a user.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]As used herein, the term “moisture content” refers to the amount of moisture (i.e. water) present in a given material, e.g. vaporisable material, including plant material such as tobacco.

[0012]As used herein, the term “vaporisable” has its usual meaning in the art, referring to a material that is capable of being converted to from a solid or liquid state to a gaseous state upon heating.

[0013]Moisture content is an important parameter of the chemical composition of vaporisable materials, and in particular of the plant material such as tobacco. The moisture content of vaporisable materials, and the components of vaporisable materials, may affect various properties of the material, including:[0014]Ease of particle size reduction, with drier materials being easier to mill into fine powders;[0015]Texture and density, with wetter materials being of higher density and more sticky; and[0016]Efficiency of vapour production upon heating, since the moisture content affects the time and e...

Abstract

A vaporisable material for use in a vapour-generating device comprising tobacco having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt %, and further comprising a humectant in an amount of at least 20 wt % is disclosed. The invention also relates to use of the vaporisable material in a vapour-generating device, and to a sealed package containing the vaporisable material and a device containing the sealed package of vaporisable material.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to vaporisable material for use in a vapour-generating device. Devices which heat rather than burn vaporisable material, such as those containing tobacco, to create a vapour for inhalation are becoming popular. They generally comprise a heat source powered by gas or electricity and a chamber for receiving vaporisable material containing a vapour-generating product. In use the material is inserted into the device and heated by the heat source to generate a vapour for inhalation. An example of such a device can be found in PCT publication WO 2009 / 079641.[0002]Such devices and the material for use in them have become popular because they can provide a user with an experience very similar to smoking the vaporisable material without the burning of plant material such as tobacco.[0003]However, such devices are not always popular with consumers because they produce inconsistent levels of vapour and are often unreliable in terms of the length of use of th...
