Aerosol Delivery Device Including a Pressure-Based Aerosol Delivery Mechanism

摘要

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices include mechanisms configured to deliver an aerosol precursor composition from a reservoir to an atomizer including a heating element to produce a vapor. A pressure controller may control dispensing of the aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir based on a pressure differential between a first pressure within the reservoir and a second pressure proximate the atomizer. The first pressure within the reservoir may be substantially equal to atmospheric pressure. Alternatively, the first pressure within the reservoir may be greater than atmospheric pressure.

主权项

1. An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
a control body; a cartridge comprising a reservoir at least partially filled with an aerosol precursor composition, the cartridge being configured to receive an airflow from the control body; an atomizer comprising a heating element; and a pressure controller configured to control dispensing of the aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir based on a pressure differential between a first pressure within the reservoir and a second pressure proximate the atomizer, the atomizer being configured to heat the aerosol precursor composition received from the reservoir to add an aerosol to the airflow.
