Abstract: A closed bottom vaporizer pod prevents vaporizable material from exiting the pod and entering into a heat source of a vaporizer. A closed bottom vaporizer pod further reduces contamination and/or fouling of a vaporizer and comprises a closed bottom capsule, at least one air inlet for drawing air into the closed bottom capsule, and at least one air outlet for drawing air out of the closed bottom capsule. An air flow path is created from the at least one air inlet, the closed bottom capsule, and the air outlet which prevents contamination of the vaporizer.

Abstract: A hybrid aerosol-generating device contains a HNB article and an ECIG article. The hybrid aerosol-generating device allows for simultaneous inhalation from both a HNB article and an ECIG article. The hybrid device includes a HNB article configured to heat non-liquid materials without combustion of the non-liquid materials and also includes an ECIG article configured to heat liquid materials without combustion of the liquid materials. The hybrid aerosol-generating device may further include a mouthpiece connected to both the HNB article and the ECIG article to allow for the simultaneous delivery of aerosols and/or vapors created by the heated non-liquid materials and the heated liquid materials.

Abstract: An improved, cleaner functioning smoking article is provided, comprising a aerosol forming substrate engineered to include airflow channels. Features include a hollow tube, which may be comprised of various materials, including the material for vaporization itself, within the engineered material, such as tobacco, for efficient vaporization. Other features include a hollow, inverted cone to permit air ingress in a closed bottomed HNB cigarette, and a capsule cigarette designed to retain loose leaf and original material for clean vaporization.

Abstract: A capsule for temporarily storing consumable materials can be manufactured from a composition containing a mixture of hydroypropyl-methyl-cellulose (HPMC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) dissolved in a solvent containing a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. This composition exhibits non-Newtonian fluid dynamics and at least one layer of the composition can be deposited onto an elastomeric dipping pin for creating the capsule. Multiple layers of the composition can also be used to create a laminate capsule. The formed capsule can be removed from the dipping pin by axially extending the elastomeric dipping pin to cause radial contraction thereof and separating the formed capsule from the elastomeric dipping pin.

Abstract: A vaporizer cartridge includes a base, inner and outer substantially concentric walls extending from the base and defining a vaporization chamber between the outer and inner walls adapted for containing at least one vaporizable substance, and a heating receptacle opening extending through the base within a perimeter of the inner wall adapted for receiving a heating element inserted into the heating receptacle opening, wherein a top edge of the outer wall forms an open top rim adapted for coupling to a mouthpiece. The vaporizer cartridge may also have a mouthpiece with a top opening, a central open bore, and a bottom opening sealably coupled to the open top rim. A vaporizer apparatus having a heating component and a vaporizer cartridge is provided, as is a method of making a vaporizer cartridge and a method of vaporizing a consumable substance.
