[0002] Currently, commonly used atomizers atomize their internal atomizing matrix through a heating element. Under the high temperature of the heating element, the atomizing matrix needs to be in direct contact with it.

Therefore, atomizers using this technology increase vapor production by increasing power, thereby increasing nicotine intake and flavor / aroma levels, with some even reaching 30W.

[0003] However, excessive power will reduce the number of inhalation ports on the atomizer, and in public places, a large amount of vapor can easily affect other people. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In related technologies, atomizers use heating elements (such as heating wires) to heat the atomizing matrix, causing it to atomize under heated conditions. To quickly achieve a sufficient nicotine intake so that users can experience the taste of nicotine promptly and significantly, atomizers are designed with high power, typically requiring 7W or more, and sometimes even reaching 30W. Because nicotine evaporates more easily at high temperatures and is released into the vapor more rapidly, this increases the concentration and release efficiency of nicotine in the vapor. Therefore, atomizer technology increases nicotine intake by raising the temperature and thus increasing the amount of vapor.

[0040] While this method of rapidly heating and atomizing the atomizing medium can produce a large amount of vapor, it also brings other problems. Firstly, high-power use significantly reduces battery life, decreasing the number of puffs a user can take. Secondly, in public places, the large amount of vapor can easily disturb others, especially those sensitive to odors.

[0041] To address the above problems, this application provides optimization through the following embodiments.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides an atomizer 100, comprising:

[0043] The atomizer 100 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 10, which stores an atomizing matrix; the atomizing matrix is ​​free of glycerol or has a glycerol content of less than 1%; the atomizer 100 includes an atomizing component 20, which is connected to the liquid storage chamber 10 and is used to heat and atomize the atomizing matrix; wherein, the atomizing component 20 is configured to atomize the atomizing matrix at a preset atomizing power, the preset atomizing power including at least one low-smoke atomizing power with a value between 1W and 4W.

[0044] In this embodiment, reducing the atomization power of the atomizer 100 slows down the atomization speed of the atomization substrate, thereby significantly reducing the amount of vapor produced, while extending battery life and increasing the number of puffs the user can take. Furthermore, by using a specific atomization substrate that produces a low amount of vapor upon heating, it ensures that the user generates only a low amount of vapor when using the atomizer, thus minimizing the impact on others when using it in public places.

[0045] In this embodiment, the purpose of preset atomization power is to control the atomizer 100 to perform atomization within the aforementioned range, and in conjunction with a specific atomization matrix, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the amount of smoke. The atomization power setting range is 1W-4W, while compared to the 7W-30W power settings in the aforementioned related technologies, the atomization power adjustment direction in this application is towards reducing the power setting. Combined with its specific atomization matrix, this allows the atomizer 100 to still meet the atomizer's usage requirements at a low power of 1W-4W.

[0046] In this embodiment, the composition of the atomizing matrix is ​​optimized to not only reduce vapor production and environmental impact but also extend battery life and ensure effective nicotine release, providing users with a more environmentally friendly and efficient e-cigarette experience. In one embodiment, the atomizing matrix is ​​e-liquid.

[0047] Specifically, the atomizing matrix in this embodiment is an atomizing matrix that contains no glycerol or virtually no glycerol. Glycerin (VG) is one of the key components affecting the amount of vapor. Related atomizing matrices contain a relatively large amount of glycerol, which generates a large amount of vapor when heated, thereby increasing the volume of vapor and resulting in dense vapor after atomization. Therefore, this application uses an atomizing matrix that contains no or virtually no glycerol, which can significantly reduce the amount of vapor after atomization and achieve a better user experience.

[0048] In this application, the unit of atomization power is W, or watt, with the symbol W. The watt is the standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), representing the rate of work or energy conversion completed per unit time. In some embodiments, the atomizing matrix may contain active ingredients such as nicotine and / or nicotine derivatives, or it may contain only special fragrance substances.

[0049] The atomizing matrix of related technologies usually uses glycerin as the main smoke generator. The atomizing matrix of related technologies generally includes about 2% nicotine, 10-20% flavoring, and about 80% glycerin (Glycerol) by weight percentage.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the atomizing matrix comprises, by weight percentage: 1-10% nicotine and 90-99% flavoring. In this embodiment, no additional glycerin is added. The flavoring can be commercially available flavoring without glycerin or with less than 1% glycerin content, or flavoring obtained in other ways, such as fragrances extracted from plant materials, etc., without limitation. Thus, reducing the glycerin content of the atomizing matrix reduces the amount of vapor. Using the atomizing matrix of this embodiment, combined with an atomization power of 1W-4W, further reduces the amount of vapor. In some embodiments, the flavoring can be a flavoring using propylene glycol (PG) as a solvent.

[0051] In one embodiment, the nicotine content by mass percentage may be 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, etc. In some embodiments, the proportion of nicotine can be appropriately increased, for example, to 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, thus balancing the amount of vapor and the user experience, so that the user can obtain a taste and experience comparable to the atomizers in the aforementioned related technologies even when using low vapor levels.

[0052] In one embodiment, the nicotine material may be at least one of nicotine and nicotine derivatives. The nicotine material may also contain multiple nicotine materials that can provide a taste similar to traditional cigarettes. Nicotine includes natural nicotine and / or synthetic nicotine. Nicotine derivatives include one or more of nicotine salts, nicotine in a matrix such as a glycobase or organometallic complex, nicotine-resin combinations, nicotine inclusion complexes, and non-covalently bonded nicotine. Non-covalently bonded nicotine includes nicotine lactate, nicotine malate, nicotine salicylate, nicotine cyclodextrin-encapsulated complexes, nicotine hydrochloride, nicotine dihydrochloride, nicotine tartrate, nicotine tartrate dihydrate, nicotine sulfate, nicotine zinc chloride, and nicotine benzoate. Nicotine derivatives also include nicotine containing substituents, such as one or more mixtures of hexamethylnicotine, hexamethylnicotine lactate, hexamethylnicotine malate, hexamethylnicotine salicylate, hexamethylnicotine cyclodextrin encapsulated complex, hexamethylnicotine hydrochloride, hexamethylnicotine dihydrochloride, hexamethylnicotine tartrate, hexamethylnicotine tartrate dihydrate, hexamethylnicotine sulfate, hexamethylnicotine zinc chloride, and hexamethylnicotine benzoate.

[0053] In some embodiments, the atomizing matrix may include 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% fragrance by weight percentage.

[0054] In some embodiments, the nicotine blend may contain only nicotine. Nicotine, commonly known as tobacco alkaloid, provides a throat feel and satisfaction similar to that of traditional cigarettes.

[0055] In some embodiments, the nicotine mixture may contain nicotine and hexamethylnicotine; hexamethylnicotine is a nicotine derivative formed by introducing a methyl group on the 6th carbon of the nicotine molecule. Hexamethylnicotine can provide a stronger oral impact while reducing the user's addiction to nicotine.

[0056] In some embodiments, the nicotine mixture may include, by weight percentage, 50-100% nicotine and 0-50% hexamethylnicotine.

[0057] In some embodiments, the flavoring comprises 90-93% tobacco flavoring, 4-6% cooling agent, and 1-4% sweetener by weight percentage.

[0058] In this embodiment, the tobacco flavoring can be obtained directly from the market or extracted from tobacco, etc., and is not limited here. The specific choice can be made according to actual needs. Cooling agents can provide a refreshing taste and improve the overall experience of the atomizer. Sweeteners can provide sweetness and improve the taste, enhancing the user's smoking experience.

[0059] In one example, the nicotine mix comprises 100% nicotine by weight. In another example, the nicotine mix comprises 50% nicotine and 50% hexamethylnicotine by weight. In yet another example, the nicotine mix comprises 75% nicotine and 25% hexamethylnicotine by weight.

[0060] In one example, the flavoring comprises 90% tobacco flavoring by weight. In another example, the flavoring comprises 91% tobacco flavoring by weight. In yet another example, the flavoring comprises 93% tobacco flavoring by weight.

[0061] In one example, the cooling agent can be selected as 4%, 5%, or 6% by mass percentage.

[0062] In one example, the sweetener can be selected as 1%, 3%, or 4% by mass percentage.

[0063] In one embodiment, a cooling agent with a volume concentration of 40% can be used. In another embodiment, a sweetener with a volume concentration of 10% can be used.

[0064] In one embodiment, the cooling agent selected is WS-23, namely N,2,3-trimethyl-2-isopropylbutamide, which is a highly efficient and safe synthetic cooling agent with a long-lasting cooling effect, no irritation, no odor and low volatility, suitable for a variety of formulation needs.

[0065] In one embodiment, the sweetener selected is T3, namely neotame, chemically named NN-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-α-aspartic-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, which is a highly efficient and safe sweetener with extremely high sweetness and good stability.

[0066] In some embodiments, the atomizing matrix comprises, by weight percentage: 1-10% nicotine, 10-40% water, and 59-89% fragrance, wherein the fragrance comprises, by weight percentage: 75-85% propylene glycol.

[0067] In this embodiment, the composition of the atomizing matrix is ​​further optimized by adding water as one of the components, while water and propylene glycol are used as solvents for the flavoring. Propylene glycol (PG) is a colorless, odorless, transparent viscous liquid with good solubility and stability, providing sweetness and a throat hit, thus improving the taste of the atomizing matrix. With this composition, the effect of reducing vapor production while achieving a sufficient taste can still be achieved. By using water and propylene glycol as solvents and adjusting their ratio to further reduce the propylene glycol content, the higher evaporation temperature of water during atomization further reduces vapor production. Furthermore, water molecules can condense vapor molecules produced by propylene glycol or other substances, thereby reducing the impact on the surrounding environment and further reducing vapor production.

[0068] In one example, the atomizing matrix comprises 1% nicotine by weight. In another example, the atomizing matrix comprises 5% nicotine by weight. In yet another example, the atomizing matrix comprises 10% nicotine by weight.

[0069] In one example, the atomizing matrix comprises 90% flavoring by weight. In another example, the atomizing matrix comprises 95% flavoring by weight. In yet another example, the atomizing matrix comprises 99% flavoring by weight.

[0070] In some embodiments, the nicotine content comprises, by weight percentage: 70-80% nicotine and 20-30% hexamethylnicotine; the flavoring comprises, by weight percentage: 86-90% tobacco flavoring, 6-9% cooling agent, and 3-6% sweetener.

[0071] In one example, the nicotine mix comprises 70% nicotine and 20% hexamethylnicotine by weight percentage. In another example, the nicotine mix comprises 80% nicotine and 30% hexamethylnicotine by weight percentage. In yet another example, the nicotine mix comprises 75% nicotine and 25% hexamethylnicotine by weight percentage.

[0072] In one example, the flavoring comprises 86% tobacco flavoring by weight. In another example, the flavoring comprises 88% tobacco flavoring by weight. In yet another example, the flavoring comprises 90% tobacco flavoring by weight.

[0073] In one example, the cooling agent can be selected as 6%, 7.5%, or 9% by mass percentage.

[0074] In one example, the sweetener can be selected as 3% by mass, 5% by mass, or 6% by mass.

[0075] In one embodiment, the preset atomization power of the atomizer 100 includes a first low-smoke atomization power, the first low-smoke atomization power being in the range of 2-4W; or the preset atomization power includes a second low-smoke atomization power, the second low-smoke atomization power being in the range of 1-2W; or the preset atomization power includes a first low-smoke atomization power and a second low-smoke atomization power, the first low-smoke atomization power being in the range of 2-4W and the second low-smoke atomization power being in the range of 1-2W.

[0076] In this embodiment, two atomization powers of different values ​​are further provided to correspond to different atomizer usage modes. For example, the one with higher power can be set as the atomization power in the medium power mode described in the following embodiments, while the other can be set as the atomization power in the low power mode described in the following embodiments.

The user can also switch to a low vapor production level as needed, allowing for vaping in public places to ingest sufficient nicotine without disturbing others. Furthermore, the atomizer 100 and the main unit 200 are detachably connected. When using the low vapor production level, the atomizer 100 provided in this application can be used; when using the standard atomization level, it can be replaced with an atomizer from related technologies, further meeting the user's needs for multiple scenarios.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the mounting position 141 is recessed, so that the first liquid guide 121 is located at the lowest position of the liquid storage chamber 10 when in use; the first liquid guide 121 is embedded between the side wall of the mounting position 141 and the atomizing bracket 15.

[0103] In this embodiment, the recessed mounting position 141 allows the first liquid guide 121 to be embedded between the side wall of the mounting position 141 and the atomizing bracket 15, thus aiding in the installation and positioning of the first liquid guide 121, making it more stable, and increasing the sealing of the liquid storage chamber 10. Specifically, when in use, it is positioned at the lowest point of the liquid storage chamber 10, fully contacting the liquid inlet 151, which facilitates the inlet of the atomizing matrix. Due to gravity, the atomizing matrix flows towards the liquid guide during use, ensuring full utilization of the atomizing matrix. In this embodiment, the first liquid guide 121 is located at the lowest point of the liquid storage chamber 10 when in use, i.e., when the atomizer 100 is in use, i.e., when the nozzle of the atomizer 100 is facing upwards.

[0104] In one embodiment, the heat resistance of the second liquid guiding element 122 is greater than that of the first liquid guiding element 121; the second liquid guiding element needs to be in contact with the heat-generating part, so it has higher requirements for heat resistance.

[0105] In one embodiment, the density of the first liquid guiding element 121 is 0.1-0.3 g / cm³. 3 It is compatible with the atomizing matrix to ensure stable flowability and delivery efficiency. In one embodiment, the density of the first liquid guiding element 121 is 0.2 g / cm³. 3 .

[0106] In one embodiment, the first liquid guiding element 121 is made of polyamide or polyethylene terephthalate, and the second liquid guiding element is made of hemp or non-woven fabric, which matches the atomizing matrix to ensure appropriate liquid guiding efficiency. It will not cause dry burning due to excessively slow liquid guiding, nor will it guide the liquid too quickly. Combined with the power setting, it can achieve a smokeless or low-smoke effect.

[0107] In one embodiment, the first liquid guiding element 121 may be made of polyamide (PA) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or a combination of the two. The second liquid guiding element 122 may be made of hemp or non-woven fabric, or a combination of the two.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the liquid storage chamber 10 is provided with a storage component 16 for storing the atomized matrix; the liquid guiding component 12 extends into the liquid storage chamber 10 and contacts the storage component 16.

[0109] In this embodiment, the storage component 16 is used to store the atomizing matrix. In one embodiment, the storage component 12 is a liquid storage cotton.

[0110] In some embodiments, the atomizer 100 is further provided with a mouthpiece 17. In this embodiment, the mouthpiece 17 helps the user draw in the aerosol generated after the atomizing matrix is ​​atomized, ensuring that the aerosol can smoothly enter the user's mouth.

[0111] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the nozzle 17 is mounted on the liquid storage cup 13, and one end of the atomizing airway 11 is connected to the outside of the atomizer 100 through the nozzle 17.

[0112] In this embodiment, the suction nozzle 17 can be integrally formed with the liquid storage cup 13, or it can be installed on the liquid storage cup 13 by assembly.

[0113] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle 17 is disposed on the housing 300, and one end of the atomizing airway 11 is connected to the outside of the atomizer 100 through the nozzle 17. The nozzle 17 can be integrally formed with the housing 300, or it can be installed on the housing 300 by assembly.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 6 This application also provides an atomization method, which includes: heating and atomizing the atomization matrix with an atomization power of 1W-4W using an atomization power; wherein the atomization matrix does not contain glycerol or has a glycerol content of less than 1%.

[0115] In this embodiment, heating and atomizing a glycerin-free or low-glycerin-content atomizing matrix with a low power of 1W-4W can reduce the amount of smoke while ensuring that it can be inhaled, thus reducing the impact on the environment or others.

[0116] In one embodiment, the atomization method includes: an atomizer heating and atomizing the atomizing matrix with an atomization power of 2W-4W; wherein the atomizing matrix contains no glycerin or has a glycerin content of less than 1%. This balances user experience and impact on others, achieving both vaping capability and low-smoke effect.

[0117] In one embodiment, the atomization method includes: an atomizer heating and atomizing the atomizing matrix with an atomization power of 1W-2W; wherein the atomizing matrix contains no glycerol or has a glycerol content of less than 1%. Thus, while ensuring it is suitable for inhalation, a near-smokeless vapor effect can also be achieved.

[0118] In one embodiment, the atomizer can be any of the atomizers described above.

[0119] In one embodiment, the atomizing matrix can be any of the atomizing matrices described above.

[0120] Another embodiment of this application provides an atomizing matrix for atomization in any of the above embodiments of the atomizer 100, wherein the atomizing matrix is ​​glycerol-free or has a glycerol content of less than 1%. Since glycerol atomization produces a large amount of smoke, using an atomizing matrix that is glycerol-free or contains less glycerol can reduce the amount of smoke.

[0121] In one embodiment, the atomizing matrix comprises the following components by mass percentage:

[0122] The atomizing matrix comprises 1-10% nicotine and 90-99% flavoring, or 10-40% water and 59-89% flavoring, wherein the flavoring includes 75-85% propylene glycol; wherein the atomizing matrix can be atomized by the atomizer 100 at an atomization power of 1W-4W to produce an aerosol. In this embodiment, an atomizing matrix is ​​provided, which, when paired with an atomizer 100 of a specific power, can produce only a small amount of smoke or no smoke after atomization, thereby meeting the user's needs and extending the battery life of the atomizer 100. Specifically, the composition of the atomizing matrix can be found in the description of the above embodiment.

[0123] The following is an experimental record to further demonstrate the atomization method of this application:

[0124] 1. Experimental materials:

[0125] Prepare three types of e-liquid: one is an existing e-liquid, one is a glycerin-free (VG) e-liquid, and the third is a glycerin-free (VG) e-liquid with added propylene glycol (PG) and water. Their ingredients are shown in the table below.

Please refer to the table below for specific usage amounts:

[0128]

[0129] 3. Experimental equipment:

[0130] 3.1 The atomizer includes the following three modes:

[0131] High-power mode (normal power atomization mode): atomization power is 7W-30W;

[0132] Medium power mode: Atomization power is 2W-4W;

[0133] Low power mode: Atomization power is 1W-2W;

[0134] 3.2. Provide identical atomizers 1-7. Atomizer 1 is set to high power mode (7W-30W) for the control group; atomizers 2-3 are set to medium power mode (2W-4W) for experimental groups 1-6; and atomizers 4-6 are set to low power mode (1W-2W) for experimental groups 1-6. Please refer to the table below for details:

[0135]

[0136] 3.3 Provide a smoke volume detector to detect the amount of smoke generated when the above-mentioned atomizers 1-7 are working.

[0137] 4. Experimental Methods

[0138] 4.1 Experimental Design:

[0139] Step 1: Using the e-liquids corresponding to the three e-liquid formulas provided above, specifically including the control group corresponding to the existing e-liquids, experimental groups 1-3 corresponding to e-liquid 1 of this application, and experimental groups 4-6 corresponding to e-liquid 2 of this application, the above e-liquids are respectively loaded into the same electronic atomizer.

[0140] Step 2: Atomize using atomizers 1-7 in the previously set modes. Specifically, the control group uses high-power mode, experimental groups 1-3 use medium-low power mode, and experimental groups 4-6 use medium-low power mode. The specific power can be adjusted within the corresponding ranges to match actual power variations during use.

[0141] Step 3: Detect the smoke volume using a smoke meter. Detect each atomizer at least three times, with at least 1-3 minutes between each detection, and record the results. Simultaneously, assess the visual visibility of the smoke using visual inspection.

[0142] 4.2. Judgment basis:

[0143] The results are determined using a smoke meter, based on TPM / puff and smoke volume analysis. TPM / puff (Total Particulate Matter per puff) refers to the particulate matter content in the smoke produced per puff.

[0144] 5. Experimental Results:

[0145] 5.1 When using the existing ELFLIQ Watermelon Ice e-liquid for atomization in high power mode (7W-30W), its TPM / puff reaches at least 7mg, which is the amount of vapor observed by the naked eye as normal.

[0146] 5.2 Using the VG-free e-liquid described in this application, when atomized in medium power mode (2W-4W), its TPM / puff reached 2-4mg, which visually indicates a low vapor production. The optimal effect was observed at 3.5W, achieving a good balance between flavor and low vapor production. When atomized in low power mode (1W-2W), its TPM / puff reached 2-4mg, producing only a slight vapor production, and exhibiting a smokeless effect in lung-inhalation mode. The optimal effect was observed at 1.5W, achieving a good balance between flavor and smokeless production.

[0147] 5.3 In this application, e-liquid without added VG and using PG+water, when atomized in medium power mode (2W-4W), achieves a TPM / puff of at least 2-4mg, resulting in a visually low vapor production. The optimal effect is observed at 3.5W, achieving a good balance between flavor and low vapor production. When atomized in low power mode (1W-2W), the TPM / puff reaches at least 2-4mg, producing only a slight vapor production and exhibiting a smokeless effect in lung-inhalation mode. The optimal effect is observed at 1.5W, achieving a good balance between flavor and smokeless production. The experimental results are shown in the table below:

[0148]

[0149] 6. Conclusion:

[0150] Experimental results show that the atomizing matrix of this application can significantly reduce the amount of vapor at low and medium power, and even achieve a smokeless effect. E-liquid 1 (experimental groups 1-3) and e-liquid 2 (experimental groups 4-6) of this application produce a low amount of vapor in medium power mode, and only a slight amount of vapor or even a smokeless effect in low power mode, which is suitable for daily use.

[0151] In summary, the atomizing matrix of this application can achieve low smoke volume or smokeless effect at a relatively low atomization power, meeting the needs of different users in different scenarios.
