Abstract
An electronic vaping device includes a housing extending in a longitudinal direction, a reservoir in the housing, the reservoir configured to store a pre-vapor formulation, a heater in the housing, the heater configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation, at least one portion formed of a material including at least one polymer and at least one oxygen sequestering agent, and a power supply.
Claims19
An electronic vaping device comprising:
- a housing extending in a longitudinal direction;
- a reservoir in the housing, the reservoir configured to store a pre-vapor formulation;
- a heater in the housing, the heater configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation;
- at least one portion formed of a material including at least one polymer and at least one oxygen sequestering material, the at least one oxygen sequestering material configured to absorb atmospheric oxygen, the at least one portion including at least a portion of the housing, at least a portion of the reservoir, at least a portion of a mouth-end insert, at least a portion of a connector, at least a portion of an end cap, or any combination thereof;
- and
- a power supply configured to selectively supply power to the heater.
A cartridge of an electronic vaping device comprising:
- a housing extending in a longitudinal direction;
- a reservoir in the housing, the reservoir configured to store a pre-vapor formulation;
- a heater in the housing, the heater configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation;
- and
- at least one portion of the cartridge formed of a material including at least one polymer and at least one oxygen sequestering material, the at least one oxygen sequestering material configured to absorb atmospheric oxygen, the at least one portion including at least a portion of the housing, at least a portion of the reservoir, at least a portion of a mouth-end insert, at least a portion of a connector, at least a portion of an end cap, or any combination thereof.
A portion of an electronic vaping device, the portion formed of a material including at least one polymer and at least one oxygen sequestering material, the at least one oxygen sequestering material configured to absorb atmospheric oxygen, the portion including at least a portion of the housing, at least a portion of a reservoir, at least a portion of a mouth-end insert, at least a portion of a connector, at least a portion of an end cap of an electronic vaping device, or any combination thereof.
A method of prolonging a shelf-life of an electronic vaping device, the method comprising:
- incorporating at least one portion formed of a material including at least one polymer and at least one oxygen sequestering material, the at least one oxygen sequestering material configured to absorb atmospheric oxygen, the at least one portion including at least a portion of housing, at least a portion of a reservoir, at least a portion of a mouth-end insert, at least a portion of a connector, at least a portion of an end cap of an electronic vaping device, or any combination thereof.
