Abstract
An exemplary accessory for an electronic smoking article includes a hollow body having inner and outer surfaces and a sensor in the body. The sensor is configured to detect an emission of the electronic smoking article. A processor is embedded in the body, where the processor is configured to generate smoking topography data based on the emission. A display generates an output based on the smoking topography data provided by the processor.
Claims15
A system for generating vaping topography data comprising:
- a hollow body including an inner surface and an outer surface, the hollow body configured to at least partially receive an outer housing of an electronic vaping device;
- a display on the outer surface of the hollow body;
- a sensor at least partially embedded in the hollow body, the sensor between the inner surface and the outer surface, the sensor configured to detect an emission of the electronic vaping device;
- and
- a processor at least partially embedded in the hollow body, the processor between the inner surface and the outer surface of the hollow body, and the processor configured to generate vaping topography data based on the emission and power down the system in response to the sensor detecting an absence of a subsequent emission.
