  • Patent number: 10792685
    Abstract: A liquid supply for an electronic smoking device has a liquid reservoir (110) within a housing (100) for holding a liquid. A buffering channel (120) within or on the housing (100) connects into the liquid reservoir (110) via a port (130). A sealing member (140) is fitted within the buffering channel (120) and provides a movable or slidable seal in the buffering channel (120). Upon expansion of a gas within the liquid reservoir (110) and/or a gaseous component within the liquid, the sealing member (140) moves within the buffering channel (120) to increase the effective volume of the liquid reservoir (110) and compensate for the change in pressure. Over-pressure and under-pressure conditions in the liquid reservoir are reduced or avoided.

  • Patent number: 10772359
    Abstract: In an electronic cigarette, a mesh element is in contact with liquid storage. A heater is spaced apart from the mesh element and positioned to heat air which flows through the mesh element. The heated air vaporizes the liquid in or on the mesh. The vapor is inhaled by the user. A method of vaporizing a liquid in an electronic cigarette includes conducting liquid from a liquid storage to a mesh element. Electric current is supplied to a heater, optionally in response to sensing inhalation on the outlet or mouthpiece of the electronic cigarette. The heater heats air and the heated air is conducted through the mesh element, with the heated air vaporizing liquid on or in the mesh element. The vaporized liquid is entrained with the heated air and may then flow through or around the liquid storage to the mouthpiece.
