Abstract
Claims
1. A control body equipped with a heating element and coupled to or capable of coupling to a cartridge containing an aerosol precursor composition, wherein the control body is coupled to or capable of coupling to the cartridge such that the heating element forms an aerosol delivery device configured to activate and vaporize the components of the aerosol precursor composition, and the control body is Housing and A power supply is detachably coupled to the outer surface of the housing, The control body includes a control component housed within a housing and configured to operate in an activation mode in which the control body is coupled to a cartridge, wherein the control component is configured to deliver power from a power source to a heating element in the activation mode to activate and vaporize the components of the aerosol precursor composition.
2. The power source is one or more lithium-ion batteries or capacitors, or includes them. The control body according to claim 1, wherein a control component configured to draw power from a power source is configured to draw power from one or more lithium-ion batteries or capacitors.
3. The control body according to claim 1, wherein the power supply is a secondary power supply, the control body further includes a primary power supply within the housing, and the control components configured to draw power from the power supply are configured to switchably draw power from either the primary power supply or the secondary power supply.
4. The control body according to claim 3, further comprising a control component configured to switchably guide power, which guides power from a primary power source and switches to a secondary power source only after the primary power source has discharged by at least a threshold amount.
5. The control body according to claim 1, wherein, in at least one case where the power supply is removed from the outer surface of the housing, the power supply is connectable to a charging component configured to charge the power supply.
6. The control body according to claim 1, wherein, in the case of at least one power supply coupled to the outer surface of the housing, the power supply is coupled to a charging component configured to charge the power supply.
7. The control body according to claim 6, wherein a power supply that can be coupled to a charging component is inductively coupled to a charging component configured to wirelessly charge the power supply.
8. The control body according to claim 6, wherein a power supply that can be coupled to a charging component is wirelessly coupled to a radio frequency (RF) transmitter configured to wirelessly charge the power supply.
9. The control body according to claim 6, wherein a power supply that can be coupled to a charging component is coupled to a charging stand configured to charge the power supply with the power supply coupled to the outer surface of the housing.
10. A control unit further includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port coupled to a housing, and a power supply is electrically detachably coupled to the USB port.
