[0050] An example of a suction medium generator according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, an example of a device 1 for generating a suction medium is shown. In the device 1, the liquid is volatilized to form a vapor or aerosol, which passes through the material. and producing an inhalable medium containing one or more components derived from the material.

[0051] In this regard, the first thing to note is that steam generally remains in the gas phase at temperatures below its critical temperature. A substance that can be condensed by increasing its pressure without decreasing its temperature, e.g. steam. On the other hand, aerosols generally mean that they can be dissolved in air or another gas. A colloid is a microscopically dispersed insoluble particle. is a substance that is suspended throughout another substance.

[0052] Referring again to FIG. 1, the device 1 in this example has a generally hollow cylindrical outer housing 2. The housing 2 has an open end 3. In this example, a tubular mouthpiece 4 is fitted to the open end 3. The mouthpiece 4 in this example can be removed from the housing 2 by the user. An O-ring or other sealing member 5 seals the mouthpiece 4 within the housing 2. At or towards the other end 6 of the housing 2 are The battery 7 is a rechargeable battery for supplying power to various components of the device 1. The battery may be a rechargeable battery or a disposable battery. A control mechanism 2 is provided for controlling the operation of the various components of the apparatus 1 as described further below. It is being done.

[0053] The housing 2 has a reservoir 9 for holding or containing a liquid 10. In the example of FIG. 1, the container 9 is a housing between the open end 3 and the other end 6. In this particular example, the housing 2 is in the form of an annular chamber 9. It consists of two parts, a first part 2a towards the open end and a second part 2b towards the other end 6. The first and second parts 2a, 2b of the housing 2 are provided with threads, a bayonet fit, etc. In use, the user may connect the first and second portions of the housing 2 together. 2a, 2b can be separated to allow the liquid 10 to be replenished or replaced as needed. It is also possible to remove the piece 4 and make the container accessible. Of course, other configurations are possible. For example, the liquid 10 may be entirely removed from the housing 2. Alternatively, the container may be provided in a separate annular pot-like container that can be removed. The user can replace the liquid 10 by inserting a new container containing the liquid 10 into the housing 2. Alternatively, such containers may be reusable. In such cases, the user may wish to dispense the liquid in the container while the container is removed from the housing 2. 10 may be refilled or replaced and the refilled container returned to the housing. However, the housing 2 does not need to be made up of two parts and can be easily touched by the user. Other arrangements may be used to allow for on-site refilling, for example.

[0054] The heater 11 is located approximately in the center of the housing 2, i.e., along the length and width of the housing in this example. In this example, the heater 11 is powered by the battery 7, The heater 11 is electrically connected to the battery 7 by a nichrome resistive heater. The heater may be an electric resistance heater, including a heater, a ceramic heater, etc. 1 may be, for example, a wire, a plate (made of two or more different materials), which may be in the form of a coil. and multi-layer plates, one or more of which may be conductive and one or more of which may be non-conductive. mesh (which may be woven or non-woven, or a similar multi-layer structure) It may be a mesh, film heater, etc. Other heating devices such as non-electrical heating devices. may also be used.

[0055] The heater 11 is provided to volatilize the liquid 10. In the illustrated example, the annular wick 1 2 surrounds the heater 11 and is in thermal contact with the heater 11. The surface is in contact with a liquid 10 contained in a liquid container 9. The wick 12 is typically an absorbent material and has a capillary The wick 12 acts to draw the liquid 10 from the liquid container 9. The wick 12 is preferably made of a nonwoven material. For example, cotton or wool, or for example, polyester, nylon, viscose It may also be made of synthetic materials including polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. More on this later. It should be noted that in use, the liquid 10 drawn by the wick is The liquid 10 is heated by the vaporizer 11 to form an aerosol of droplets. The aerosol or vapor produced in this way may be heated sufficiently to produce a vapor. The vapor exits the wick 12 and is drawn by the user's inhalation action on the mouthpiece 4, as indicated by arrow A. The heater 11 and the wick 12 are effectively integrated into a single unit. It is sometimes called an "atomizer" and is used to heat and inhale the The lifting may be effectively performed by a single unit.

[0056] The housing 2 further includes a chamber 13 that holds or contains a composition 14 within the device 1. Composition 14 is an extruded material that itself contains flavorings and does not contain tobacco-derived components. Optionally, the flavoring agent is a solid botanical flavoring agent. The composition may also include a second extruded material containing a bacon material. It may be a mixture of two extruded materials that are granular, or may contain multiple granules. stomach.

[0057] During use, the user removes the mouthpiece 4 and / or the two housings 2. The composition 14 is allowed to flow through the open end 3 of the housing 2 by separating the portions 2a, 2b. The chamber 13 can be accessed to change or refill. For example, chamber 13 may be completely open at both ends and contain composition 1. 4. Alternatively, chamber 13 may have one or more end walls. The end walls may be tubes having perforations through which vapor or aerosol can pass. The chamber 13 remains in the housing 2 and the user removes the composition 14. Separately, the chamber 13 containing the composition 14 is generally heated during use. It may also be a separate item that is inserted into and removed from housing 2. The available chamber allows the user to house a new chamber 13 containing a fresh composition 14. The composition 14 may be disposable and replaced by fitting it into the ring 2. Alternatively, the chamber 13 may be reusable. The chamber 13 is removed from the housing 2 to replace the composition 14 in the chamber 13. In yet another example, chamber 13 may be filled with The housing 2 includes a clip that holds the composition 14 in place. In some cases, composition 14 may simply be a slip fit within chamber 13. As yet another example, the container 9 for containing the liquid 10 may itself be configured to support the composition 14. For example, the container 9 may be configured to receive the composition 14 and It may have one or more clips or tubes or the like to hold it in place. Such a dual-function container / chamber for both receiving the composition 14 and Alternatively, the receptacle 13 may be in the form of a cartridge or the like, and is a disposable item. or until the liquid 10 and composition 14 are replaced by the user as needed. It may be a reusable item that can be refilled or replenished. - Occasionally top up or replace the composition 14 so that enough liquid 10 is available for several uses. Once the liquid 10 is consumed, the user simply removes the dual function container 9 / receptacle. Discard the container and use a new one. Similarly, enough composition 14 is provided for several uses. This means that users will need to top up or replace the fluid every now and then. Once the composition 14 is consumed, the user removes the dual function container 9 / Discard the receptacle 13 and use a new one. Examples are given below.

[0058] The composition 14 is disposed in the housing downstream of where the aerosol or vapor is produced from the liquid 10. The nozzle 2 is located within the housing 2 upstream of the open end 3 of the nozzle 2 and the mouthpiece 4. In this particular example In this case, the composition 14 is effectively located in the same portion or chamber of the housing 2 as the core 12. The aerosol or vapor produced from the liquid 10 exits the wick 12 and travels in a direction indicated by arrow A. As shown, the user's inhalation action on the mouthpiece 4 moves the composition 14 toward the composition 14. In certain embodiments, composition 14 is porous, which allows the aerosol or vapor to The composition 14 passes through the open end 3 of the housing 2 and then through the mouthpiece 4 .

[0059] In some embodiments, composition 14 and / or its chamber 13 may be There is no gap between the chamber 13 and the interior of the housing 2, and the aerosol or vapor is 14 is configured to flow throughout the entire

[0060] Preferably, the liquid 10 is at a reasonable temperature, preferably 1000 W, to help reduce the power consumption of the device 1. It is a liquid that can be vaporized in the range of 100 to 300°C, more preferably about 150 to 250°C. Suitable materials are those conventionally used in e-cigarette devices, such as propylene glycol. Examples include glycerol and glycerin.

[0061] The composition 14 is an aerosol or vapor produced from the liquid 10. The aerosol or vapor imparts flavor as it passes through the composition 14. As the heated aerosol or vapor passes over the composition, it releases sensory irritants from the composition 14. entraining organic and other compounds or components with properties, thus forming an aerosol or vapor imparts flavor to the mouthpiece 4 as it travels thereto.

[0062] The device 1 may provide nicotine for the user. The nicotine may be provided in a liquid 10. It may be derived from tobacco composition 14, or a combination thereof. Flavorings may also be added to the liquid 10.

[0063] In the example shown in FIG. 1, the organic and other compounds or components are generated from the composition 14. The only heat source required for heating composition 14 in apparatus 1 is from heating liquid 10. It is a hot aerosol or vapor produced by

Components and features that differ have the same reference numbers but with 200 added. Therefore, the description of the components and features will not be repeated here in their entirety. The configurations and substitutions described above are also applicable to the example of FIG. 2. Again, in general Therefore, the device 201 of FIG. 2 heats a liquid to form a vapor or aerosol, which is then mixed with the tobacco mixture. The composition 214 passes through the inhalable material, which contains one or more components derived from the tobacco composition 214. Prepare the medium.

[0065] The device 201 in this example is generally hollow with an open end 203 and a tubular mouthpiece 204. The mouthpiece 204 in this example has a cylindrical outer housing 202. The housing 202 can be removed and an O-ring or other sealing member 205 can be attached to the housing.
