Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flavor cartridge for a flavor inhalator, the method comprising the steps of filling a predetermined amount of a flavor generating material capable of emitting a flavor component in a frame compressing the flavor generating material in the frame by applying pressure thereto by a pusher and fixing a lid to the frame, wherein the flavor generating material contains a tobacco material obtained by shredding or pulverizing tobacco leaf, and the lid has air permeability.

Abstract: This non-combusting flavor inhaler is provided with: a power source unit which comprises at least a battery; a first cartridge which comprises at least a vaporizer unit which, with power provided from an aerosol source and the battery, vaporizes an aerosol source without combustion; a second cartridge which has at least a flavor source and which imparts flavor to the aerosol vaporized by the vaporizer unit by said aerosol passing through said second cartridge; and a control unit which, upon detecting that it is time for the second cartridge to be replaced, controls a notification unit to notify that it is time for the second cartridge to be replaced.

Abstract: This cartridge is provided with a flavor source housing which houses a flavor source, and a mesh body which is arranged on at least one end of the flavor source housing. The mesh body has multiple openings. Each of the openings has a polygonal shape with interior angles of less than or equal to 180°. As lengths that pass through the center of gravity of each opening, each opening has a minimum length that is shortest and a maximum length that is longest. The minimum length is less than the smallest size of the raw material pieces, and the maximum length is greater than the minimum length.

Abstract: This non-combusting flavor inhaler is provided with a control unit which, as an instruction to a battery, outputs to the battery a prescribed instruction instructing the battery that the amount of aerosol vaporized by a vaporizer unit should fall within a desired range. The control unit stops power supply from the battery to the vaporizer unit once a prescribed period has elapsed since the start of supplying power to the vaporizer unit. The prescribed period is shorter than the upper limit value of a standard puff period, which is derived from a statistic of the user's puff period.

Abstract: This non-combusting flavor inhaler is provided with a first flow path which is disposed downstream of a vaporizer unit, and, as an aerosol flow path, a second flow path which is disposed downstream of the first flow path. The second flow path houses a flavor source for imparting flavor to an aerosol. In order to suppress unevenness of aerosol flow in the second flow path, an aerosol flow adjustment chamber for adjusting flow of the aerosol supplied from the first flow path is provided between the first flow path and the second flow path.

The capsule unit includes a solid flavor source, and a filter adjacent to the inhalation end side with respect to the flavor source. A part of an outer surface of the flavor source except a portion adjacent to the filter is covered with a predetermined film composed of an impermeable member. The main body unit is provided with a breaker for breaking the part of the predetermined film in a part adjacent to the capsule unit.

Abstract: A non-burning type flavor inhaler comprises: a first unit; a second unit including an aerosol source or a flavor source; and a control unit. The control unit integrates a first cumulative amount of electric power which is a cumulative value of the amount of electric power supplied to the heat source in the one-time puff action series, and the control unit notifies an end of the one-time puff action series when the first cumulative amount of electric power reaches the required amount of electric power.

Abstract: A non-combustion-type flavor inhaler includes a shape extending from a non-mouthpiece end to a mouthpiece end in a predetermined direction. The non-combustion-type flavor inhaler includes: an aerosol source generating aerosol; an atomizer atomizing the aerosol source without combustion; a power source supplying electric power to the atomizer; and a controller controlling an electric energy supplied from the power source to the atomizer. The controller randomly controls the electric energy supplied to the atomizer.

Abstract: A non-burning type flavor inhaler includes an aerosol source that generates an aerosol; an atomizer that atomizes the aerosol source without burning; a power source that supplies power to the atomizer; a light-emitting element; and a control unit that controls the light-emitting element. The control unit controls the light-emitting element in a first light-emitting mode in a puff state inhaling the aerosol, and controls the light-emitting element in a second light-emitting mode different from the first light-emitting mode in a non-puff state not inhaling the aerosol. The second light-emitting mode changes according to a number of puff actions for inhaling the aerosol.

The control unit increases the power amount supplied to the atomizer stepwise from a reference power amount along with an increase in the number of puff actions for inhaling the aerosol.
