AI Technical Summary
Existing electrically heated smoking systems are complex to manufacture and require numerous components, including separate heating elements and temperature sensors, which complicates their design and increases size.
An electrically heated smoking system utilizing electrically conductive tracks on an insulating substrate that function as both a resistive heater and a temperature sensor, integrated with thermally insulating materials to reduce component count and size, and allow for flexible heat distribution.
The integrated design reduces system complexity, size, and manufacturing costs while maintaining precise temperature control without separate sensors, enhancing user safety and smoking experience.
