  • Patent number: 12256777
    Abstract: An article for use within a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes an aerosol-generating material having a top side, a barrier positioned adjacent to the top side of the aerosol-generating material and at least one passageway defined by the barrier and extending away from the top side of the aerosol-generating material. The at least one passageway is configured to, in use, allow aerosol to escape from the aerosol-generating material and provide a condensation region for the escaping aerosol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2020

  • Publication number: 20050123635
    Abstract: Cannabis is a narcotic substance derived from the hemp plant (Cannabis indica or Cannabis sativa), and a range of derivatives and extracts are known. An aerosol of cannabis can be made by vaporising cannabis at an elevated temperature, causing the cannabis vapour to flow to a region at lower temperature at which the vapour would be supersaturated, generating seed nuclei of particle size less than 0.5 ?m, and mixing the seed nuclei with the vapour. Heterogeneous nucleation occurs due to the seed nuclei, so that droplets of a desired diameter and concentration can be obtained. The seed nuclei may for example be derived by passing air over molten sodium chloride.
