  • Publication number: 20260123682
    Abstract: A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable containing an internal susceptor inside an encasement with an induction heating element wrapped around the consumable-containing package to heat the susceptor using the induction heating element. Combustion of the consumable-containing package can be minimized by limiting air inside the consumable-containing package by compressing the consumable.

  • Publication number: 20260041158
    Abstract: A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable using a moving aerosol-producing substrate to incrementally heat portions of the substrate to release the consumable from various portions of the substrate. The aerosol-producing substrate is placed in an aerosol-producing device in which a portion of the aerosol-producing substrate is surrounded by an induction heating element. The portion of the aerosol-producing substrate surrounded by the induction heating element can release consumable when the induction heating element is activated. A driver causes the aerosol-producing substrate to advance through the induction heating element causing another portion of the aerosol-producing substrate to enter the induction heating element, heating of which causes more release of the consumable.

  • Publication number: 20250160418
    Abstract: A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable containing an internal susceptor inside an encasement with an induction heating element wrapped around the consumable-containing package to heat the susceptor using the induction heating element. Combustion of the consumable-containing package can be minimized by limiting air inside the consumable-containing package by compressing the consumable.

  • Patent number: 12201154
    Abstract: A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable containing an internal susceptor inside an encasement having a plurality of holes with an induction heating element wrapped around the consumable-containing package to heat the susceptor using a magnetic field generated by the induction heating element. Combustion of the consumable-containing package can be minimized by limiting air inside the consumable-containing package by coating the encasement material that melts at high temperatures. The coating may also include a flavoring. Efficiency of the device can be enhanced with a self-resonant oscillator, moving coils, multi-prong susceptors, sensors, heat dissipation, air flow control, alignment mechanisms, and the like.

  • Patent number: 12201139
    Abstract: A device and method for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable containing an internal susceptor inside a housing. The consumable can be in the form of a compressed powder. A first end of the housing can be capped with an end cap and a second end of the housing can have a mouthpiece. The housing containing the consumable and the susceptor can be placed inside a case with an inductive heating element configured to heat the susceptor. Heating the susceptor results in the consumable being released as an aerosol for inhalation.

  • Publication number: 20230337733
    Abstract: A device for converting a consumable into an aerosol with high heat without burning the consumable by packaging the consumable around a susceptor for inductive heating so as to reduce the oxygen content within the consumable. The susceptor can be a flattened piece of steel wool. The encasement can be a coating applied to the consumable can be packaging inside an encasement through which the aerosol can pass. Efficiency of the to create a porous shell. The device can have a receiver with an airtight seal and an airflow controller to optimize the aerosolizing process. The device can also have a recognition system to detect a sign on the consumable-containing package an execute the appropriate administration protocol.
