  • Patent number: 12133553
    Abstract: A vapor generator assembly for an e-vaping device may include a reservoir configured to hold a pre-vapor formulation, a vaporizer assembly configured to heat pre-vapor formulation drawn from the reservoir to form a vapor, and an air intake assembly configured to direct ambient air into the vaporizer assembly. The air intake assembly may at least partially define an air inlet that extends at least partially around an outer surface of the vapor generator assembly. The air inlet may be an arcuate air inlet or an annular air inlet. The air intake assembly may at least partially define an inlet channel extending from the air inlet into an interior of the vapor generator assembly to at least partially establish fluid communication between the arcuate air inlet and the vaporizer assembly. The inlet channel may extend coaxially in relation to a longitudinal axis of the vapor generator assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220400763
    Abstract: Some example embodiments include a reservoir assembly for an e-vaping device that may include a reservoir, a first bayonet connector assembly, and a conduit extending from a vaporizer assembly and into a space defined by the first bayonet connector assembly. The first bayonet connector assembly may detachably couple with a second bayonet connector assembly of an outlet assembly to establish a bayonet interface connection between the reservoir and the outlet assembly, such that the conduit is in fluid communication with the exterior of the reservoir assembly through an interior of the outlet assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220218025
    Abstract: A vaporizer assembly, which includes a heating element and a conduit assembly configured to direct air to flow through a conduit in fluid communication with the heating element, further includes a dispensing interface assembly configured to be in fluid communication with both the conduit and the vaporizer assembly exterior. The dispensing interface assembly includes a first dispensing interface and a second dispensing interface. The first dispensing interface is in direct fluid communication with the conduit and the heating element. A portion of the second dispensing interface is exposed to the vaporizer assembly exterior. The second dispensing interface is isolated from direct fluid communication with the heating element by the first dispensing interface, and the first dispensing interface is isolated from direct fluid communication with the reservoir by the second dispensing interface.

  • Publication number: 20210345676
    Abstract: In some example embodiments, a reservoir assembly may include a reservoir and an isolation structure. The reservoir may hold a pre-vapor formulation. The reservoir may include a first fluid port extending through a housing of the reservoir, where the first fluid port may enable fluid communication between the reservoir and an exterior of the reservoir assembly. The reservoir may be coupled to a vaporizer assembly that includes a second fluid port configured to enable fluid communication between the reservoir and vaporizer assembly, or the reservoir may be coupled to a vaporizer connector assembly that includes a second fluid port configured to enable fluid communication between the reservoir and an exterior through the vaporizer connector assembly. The isolation structure may move in relation to the reservoir and the vaporizer connector assembly to a position where it exposes one of the fluid ports and covers the other.
