Abstract: Provided herein is a puff machine system (400) that includes an auto-weighing module (401) configured to weigh a mass loss associated with a device and a puff generation module (402) detachably coupled with the auto-weighting module. The puff generation module is configured to draw a predefined amount of air from the device, causing the device to generate a puff. The auto-weighing module is configured to perform puff-by-puff measurements for the mass loss associated with the device between puffs.

Abstract: Vaporizer devices for generating an inhalable aerosol are provided, methods of manufacturing thereof, and cartridges for use therewith are provided. In one aspect, the vaporizer device can include a cartridge that can include a heating element having a first region, a second region, and one or more cut-out regions between the first and second regions; and a vaporizer body having a receptacle configured to insertably receive at least a portion of the cartridge, at least one first inductive coil configured to generate a first magnetic and/or electromagnetic field to heat the first region, at least one second inductive coil configured to generate a second magnetic and/or electromagnetic field to heat the second region, and a controller configured to independently apply power to the at least one first inductive coil and the at least one second inductive coil. Heating assemblies and methods of manufacturing thereof are also provided.

Abstract: Heating elements, cartridges for use with a vaporizer device, vaporizer devices for generating an inhalable aerosol, and methods of manufacturing thereof, are provided. The heating element can include a substrate configured to heat a vaporizable material. The substrate can include a first region, a second region, and a third region. The third region can be disposed between the first region and the second region, and the third region can include a first plurality of break structures configured to direct a thermal path, an electric current path, or both across the third region in a predetermined direction. Vaporizer cartridges and devices and methods of manufacturing thereof are also provided.

Abstract: A rotary probe head having a dual interface for probe mounting that allows two separate interfaces to be mounted on opposite sides of the “A” or elevation axis of the rotary probe head. The two interfaces can be rotatable and interchangeable and allow for increased flexibility in handling different types of attachments including attachments having widely different mass, size, and/or interface connections. A probe can be mounted to one interface and a counterweight can be mounted to the opposite interface for improved holding torque performance by reducing the duty force and heat factor generation of the motor in the probe head.
