Publication number: 20200221785Abstract: A vaping device may include a pre-vapor formulation housing, a heating element, and an insert. The pre-vapor formulation housing may be configured to house a pre-vapor formulation and may define a channel there through. The heating element may be configured to heat at least a portion of the pre-vapor formulation into a vapor and provide the vapor to a first portion of the channel. The insert may be disposed at a second portion of the channel and positioned to receive the vapor. The insert may be subdivided into a first section and a second section. The first section may contain a first material that releases at a first temperature, and the second section may contain a second material that releases at a second temperature. The second temperature may be less than the first temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2019Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: Altria Client Services LLCInventors: Richard JUPE, San Li

Publication number: 20200146343Abstract: Improved delivery of additive materials to cigarettes is provided through the use of one or more capsules containing additive materials, such as flavor components, in the filter section of a cigarette. The sealed capsule or capsules are subjected to an external force, such as squeezing, by a smoker prior to or during smoking of the cigarette in order to release at least a portion of the additive material from the one or more capsules and expose the additive material to mainstream smoke passing through the filter. The sealed capsules provide a barrier between the additive materials and other cigarettes components, such as sorbents or filter materials, in order to reduce additive material migration into the other cigarette components prior to desired use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2020Publication date: May 14, 2020Applicant: Philip Morris USA Inc.Inventors: Georgios Karles, Martin Garthaffner, Richard Jupe, Diane Kellogg, Ila Skinner, Jose Nepomuceno, John Layman, Constance Morgan, Jay A.
