Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aerosol delivery device that includes a housing including a power source and a control component, a reservoir configured to contain a liquid composition, a liquid delivery component including a micropump, and an atomizing assembly including a vibrating component and a mesh plate. The micropump is configured to be controlled by the control component to deliver at least a portion of the liquid composition to the atomizing assembly, the atomizing assembly is configured to be controlled by the control component to vaporize the portion of the liquid composition to generate an aerosol, and the micropump and the atomizing assembly are integrated together using a common element. In another implementation, the micropump comprises a biomimetic micropump. In some implementations, the biomimetic micropump may include a xylem model structure and a leaf model structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aerosol delivery device that may comprise a housing defining an outer wall. The device may further include a power source and a control component, an exit aerosol path defined through an opening, a tank portion that includes a reservoir configured to contain a liquid composition, and an atomization assembly configured to vaporize the liquid composition to generate an aerosol. The atomization assembly may comprise two or more vibrating assemblies each of which includes a mesh plate. In some implementations, the mesh plates may be substantially coplanar and substantially perpendicular to the exit aerosol path. In other implementations, the mesh plates may be non-coplanar.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides aerosol delivery devices having a variety of configurations and arrangements. Some aspects of the disclosure provide aerosol delivery devices having a housing with an air pathway extending at least partially therethrough, a reservoir configured to contain a content of a liquid composition, an intermediate chamber configured to temporarily store a fractional content of the liquid composition, a micropump interconnecting the reservoir and the intermediate chamber and configured to deliver the fractional content of the liquid composition from the reservoir to the intermediate chamber under pressure, and a mesh layer positioned at least partially between the intermediate chamber and the air pathway, the mesh layer being adapted to transfer the liquid composition received from the immediate chamber into the air pathway forming an aerosol.
