Claims20
An aerosol delivery device comprising:
- an air inlet;
- an aerosol chamber arranged to provide an aerosol in air passing therethrough;
- and
- an aerosol outlet;
- the air inlet, the aerosol chamber, and the aerosol outlet are arranged in fluid communication in that order;
- wherein the aerosol delivery device further comprises a refining member containing flavoring agents for releasing into the aerosol;
- and
- wherein the air inlet surrounds the aerosol chamber.
An aerosol delivery portion for use with an aerosol delivery device comprising:
- the aerosol delivery portion and a power portion which is configured to be removably connected to the aerosol delivery portion, wherein the aerosol delivery portion comprises:
- an air inlet;
- an aerosol chamber arranged to provide an aerosol in air passing therethrough;
- and
- an aerosol outlet;
- the air inlet, the aerosol chamber, and the aerosol outlet are arranged in fluid communication in that order;
- wherein the air inlet surrounds the aerosol chamber;
- and
- wherein the aerosol delivery device further comprises a refining member containing flavoring agents for releasing into the aerosol.
A device configured to impart flavoring agents, from a refining member of the device, to an airstream admitted to the device after the airstream reaches an aerosol generator of the device, the device thereby operable to deliver the flavoring agents from the refining member into an aerosol, wherein the airstream is admitted to the device from an air inlet of the device, and wherein the air inlet surrounds the aerosol generator.
A method of generating a flavored aerosol in an aerosol delivery device, wherein the aerosol delivery device comprises an aerosol generator and an air inlet which surrounds the aerosol generator, the method comprising:
- generating an aerosol by passing an airflow, which originates from the air inlet, through the aerosol generator that evaporates a liquid into the airflow to create the aerosol;
- and
- delivering the aerosol to a mouthpiece of the aerosol delivery device,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- releasing flavoring agents from a refining member, from the aerosol delivery device, into the aerosol.
An aerosol delivery device comprising:
- an air inlet;
- an aerosol chamber arranged to provide an aerosol in air passing therethrough;
- a housing;
- a mouthpiece comprising an aerosol outlet configured to receive a generated aerosol from the aerosol delivery device;
- and
- a refining member containing flavoring agents for releasing into the aerosol;
- wherein the air inlet surrounds the aerosol chamber;
- and
- wherein the mouthpiece at least partially engages the refining member.
