Abstract
An aerosol delivery device is described that includes an aerosol precursor staged within a reservoir and an atomizer configured to generate heat through induction. The atomizer has an induction transmitter and an induction receiver. The induction receiver is in operational contact with the aerosol precursor within the reservoir and is configured to wick the aerosol precursor into range of the induction transmitter to be heated and vaporized.
Claims10
An aerosol delivery device comprising:
- an aerosol precursor staged within a reservoir;
- and
- an atomizer configured to generate heat through induction,
- wherein the atomizer comprises an induction transmitter and an induction receiver,
- wherein the induction receiver is in operational contact with the aerosol precursor within the reservoir and is configured to wick the aerosol precursor into range of the induction transmitter to be heated and vaporized,
- wherein the induction receiver comprises a porous conductive material, and
- wherein the induction receiver comprises an annular ring, a bisecting core, and a plurality legs extending radially from the annular ring.
4 more elements
An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
- a power source;
- an induction transmitter;
- and
- a susceptor,
- wherein the susceptor is capable of and arranged to absorb aerosol precursor,
- wherein the induction transmitter is configured to generate an oscillating magnetic field, and
- wherein the susceptor is configured to generate heat in response to the oscillating magnetic field to vaporize at least some of the aerosol precursor absorbed by the susceptor into an aerosol,
- wherein the susceptor comprises a porous conductive material, and
- wherein the susceptor comprises an annular ring, a bisecting core, and a plurality legs extending radially from the annular ring.
