Publication number: 20240090568Abstract: A tip device for an electronic vaping device may include a first conduit structure and a second conduit structure. The first conduit structure may be configured to direct a generated vapor through a first conduit. The second conduit structure may be configured to direct an air flow from an ambient environment through a second conduit. The second conduit structure may include an additive material on a surface of the second conduit structure, the additive material including an additive, the additive material configured to release the additive into the air flow directed through the second conduit. An interposing structure of the first conduit structure and the second conduit structure may physically isolate the additive material from the first conduit, such that the additive material is configured to release the additive into the air flow directed through the second conduit independently of the generated vapor directed through the first conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Altria Client Services LLCInventors: Munmaya K. MISHRA, Raymond LAU, Zack BLACKMON, Kelli MCKENNA
