Claims16
A device, comprising:
- a mouthpiece and a liquid container;
- a liquid in the liquid container;
- the liquid container having a first end and a second end, the mouthpiece attached onto the first end of the liquid container;
- an atomizer having a heating element and a porous component moving the liquid from the liquid container towards the heating element, the heating element aligned on an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device;
- a gas vent extending centrally from the liquid container to the mouthpiece;
- and
- a retaining element on a side of the liquid container.
