AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing flavor sticks for heat-not-burn inhalation devices lack a novel flavor rod design suitable for microwave heating methods, which affects the usability and efficiency of flavor delivery.

Method used

A flavor stick with a flavor rod comprising an outer wrapping paper and multiple flavor molded bodies positioned on its inner surface, featuring an antenna insertion hole along the axial direction, and optionally partitioned by a partition paper to accommodate individual flavor sources, allowing microwave heating and smooth aerosol flow.

Benefits of technology

Enhances usability and flavor delivery efficiency by ensuring smooth antenna insertion, reducing damage to the flavor rod, and allowing independent heating of different flavor sources, thereby enriching the smoking experience.
