Abstract
The invention relates to electronic smoking devices (10) and to additive reservoirs (56) for electronic smoking devices (10). In order to be able to provide an additive that does not pass an atomizer (26) of the electronic smoking device (10), the invention provides that the electronic smoking devices (10) comprise an additive supply assembly (40) with at least one additive inlet opening (44) arranged at a distance to the atomizer (26), and that the additive reservoirs (56) comprises at least one additive outlet opening (66) in its inner lateral surface (60).
Claims15
Electronic smoking device comprising:
- an atomizer;
- an air inhalation port;
- an additive supply assembly including
- a duct interconnecting the atomizer and the air inhalation port and forming a flow path, and
- at least one additive inlet opening that opens the duct essentially perpendicularly to the flow path and is arranged at a distance to the atomizer;
- and
- an additive reservoir including
- an additive storage volume,
- an inner lateral surface that at least section-wise extends around a central axis of the additive reservoir, and
- at least one additive outlet opening in the inner lateral surface that opens the additive storage volume towards the central axis and that is configured to communicate with the additive inlet opening;
- wherein a portion of the duct is configured to act as a rotational bearing for the additive reservoir when the additive reservoir is rotated around the duct.
