Abstract: Compositions include an aqueous polysaccharide-based gellant system including a polysaccharide and a gel modifier, and a tobacco material. Other compositions include a cellulose matrix, a tobacco material, and a water-soluble polymer. Still other compositions include an alginate, a tobacco material, and an alginate crosslinker. These compositions may be placed in a cartridge for use in a device for delivering nicotine to a user.

Abstract: Compositions include an aqueous organic-based gellant system and nicotine or a salt thereof. The compositions are readily prepared and stored in cartridges or used directly in a device for delivering nicotine to a user.

Abstract: Compositions made from combinations including an hydrated ionic clay and a tobacco material are described herein. Methods of manufacture, as well as methods of extracting nicotine from these compositions are also described. The compositions can be used to prepare liquid vaporizable materials by extracting nicotine from tobacco material and directly from the tobacco material and into a liquid vaporizable material.

Abstract: A vaporization device includes a vaporizer cartridge having a reservoir that holds a vaporizable material, a heating element, and a gel wicking element that can draw the vaporizable material to the heating element to be vaporized. The vaporizer cartridge is configured for coupling to a vaporizer device body and containing a vaporizable material. Various embodiments of the vaporizer cartridge are described that include one or more features for the wicking element. Various embodiments of the wicking element, as well as related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
