Abstract:
An apparatus and method of controlling resistance-to-draw of an electronic smoking article is disclosed, which includes a reusable portion and a cartomizer portion, and which includes: supplying an air flow from one or more inlets in an outer cylindrical housing of the electronic smoking article to a cartomizer via a cartomizer inlet having a fixed diameter configured to control a resistance-to-draw of the electronic smoking article and wherein the cartomizer inlet is located inside the outer cylindrical housing of the electronic smoking article, wherein a combined air flow area of the one or more inlets in the outer housing of the electronic smoking article are greater than a cross-sectional area of the cartomizer inlet; heating a liquid material from a reservoir to form an aerosol; and combining the at least initially volatilized liquid material with the air flow from the cartomizer inlet.
Abstract:
An electronic smoking article (60) includes a liquid aerosol formulation, a heater (19) operable to at least partially volatilize the liquid aerosol formulation and form an aerosol and a tubular filter segment (600) downstream of the heater (19). The tubular filter segment (600) is operable to selectively filter aerosol particles and vapors from the aerosol.
Abstract:
An electronic smoking article includes a heater and a liquid aerosol formulation. The heater is a coil heater. The liquid aerosol formulation includes at least one aerosol former, optionally water, nicotine and phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid is included in an amount sufficient to substantially abate corrosion of the heater.
Abstract:
A zero-calorie to near-zero-calorie snacking product that, when consumed, provides a feeling of fullness prior to absorption of energy-providing food, i.e., pre-absorptive satiation is disclosed. The snacking product is based on the stimulation of vagal nerve endings in the gastro-intestinal tract by encapsulated capsaicin. The encapsulation of capsaicin avoids the burning sensation in the mouth which may be objectionable to some consumers.
Abstract:
A disposable beverage pod includes a first compartment containing a beverage concentrate in dry or semi-dry form and a second compartment containing ethanol. An apparatus for making a single serving beverage is operable to receive the disposable beverage pod and mix the contents thereof with water from a water reservoir and optionally pressurized gas from a pressurized gas source to form a single serving beverage.
