Abstract
A component of an electronic vapor provision device with a reservoir for storing source liquid, an atomizer for vaporizing source liquid from the reservoir and delivering vapor into an air flow path through the device, and an electrical power supply for providing electrical power to the atomizer comprises an absorbent element to collect source liquid escaped from the reservoir and located so as to be upstream of the atomizer with respect to an air flow direction along the air flow path when the component is assembled into the electronic vapor provision device.
Claims7
An electronic vapor provision device, the electronic vapor provision device being a unitary device that cannot be separated into two parts and comprising:
- a reservoir for storing source liquid;
- an atomizer comprising electrically conductive mesh for vaporizing the source liquid from the reservoir and delivering vapor into an air flow path through the device;
- an electrical power supply for providing electrical power to the atomizer;
- and
- a component comprising a polyester absorbent element to collect the source liquid from the reservoir, the absorbent element located so as to be upstream of the atomizer with respect to an air flow direction along the air flow path when the component is assembled into the electronic vapor provision device, wherein the absorbent element has a planar shape.
