Abstract: In an electronic cigarette, a mesh element is in contact with liquid storage. A heater is spaced apart from the mesh element and positioned to heat air which flows through the mesh element. The heated air vaporizes the liquid in or on the mesh. The vapor is inhaled by the user. A method of vaporizing a liquid in an electronic cigarette includes conducting liquid from a liquid storage to a mesh element. Electric current is supplied to a heater, optionally in response to sensing inhalation on the outlet or mouthpiece of the electronic cigarette. The heater heats air and the heated air is conducted through the mesh element, with the heated air vaporizing liquid on or in the mesh element. The vaporized liquid is entrained with the heated air and may then flow through or around the liquid storage to the mouthpiece.

Abstract: An electronic smoking device (1) includes a mouthpiece (2), a heating element (4) and a body portion (5) which contains a liquid reservoir (6). The heating element (4) is adapted to vaporize liquid (7) supplied from the reservoir (6) to generate an aerosol. A flow path (8) extends from the heating element (4) to the mouthpiece (2). Flavor carrying units (9, 10) are permeable to the vaporized liquid (7) and carry flavored material (11, 12). The flavored material is selectively and individually exposed to the flow path 8 creating a flavored aerosol.

Abstract: An atomizing electronic cigarette has an atomizing core component and a liquid storage component. including an electric heater. The electric heater may have a through hole aligned with a channel passing through the liquid storage component. The cigarette can heat and uniformly vaporize liquid from the liquid storage component, with the user inhaling the vaporized liquid. The vapor generated by the atomizing process may be cooled as it flows through the channel.

Abstract: This invention discloses a kind of microburst-microcapsule designed for cigarettes and a smoking article with such microburst-microcapsules. Wherein the microburst-microcapsule is composed of a microcapsule wall and an aerosol generation material encapsulated by the microcapsule wall. The microburst-microcapsule can be filled in cigarette. When the cigarette lights, the high temperature generated from its combustion zone will vaporize the nearest aerosol generation materials packaged in the aforesaid microburst-microcapsule. The vapor pressure will cause the microcapsule wall burst. As a result, the aerosol from the aforesaid aerosol generation materials will vapor out of the microcapsule wall. Tobacco-free carbonaceous fuels or solid carbonaceous from high temperature vacuum destructive distillation of tobacco filament can be used as combustion materials for aforesaid cigarettes.
