Abstract
An electronic vapor provision device comprising a power cell and a vaporizer, wherein the vaporizer comprises a heater and a heater support, wherein one or more gaps are provided between the heater and the heater support.
Claims29
An electronic vapor provision device comprising:
- at least one casing;
- an air passageway extending from an air inlet to an air outlet;
- a heating element having an axis from a first end to a second end along a longest dimension of the heating element, the axis of the heating element being oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the electronic vapor provision device;
- a heating element support configured to support the heating element, wherein the heating element support is elongated, is one or both of rigid and solid, and is situated along the axis of the heating element;
- at least one gap defined between the heating element support and the heating element;
- a liquid store defined within a hollow portion of the at least one casing;
- a wicking element that is configured to wick a liquid from the liquid store to the heating element and that comprises a porous material extending outwardly from the first end and the second end of the heating element;
- and
- a vaporization cavity, wherein the heating element and the wicking element are at least partially arranged within the vaporization cavity.

An electronic vapor provision device comprising:
- at least one casing:
- an air passageway extending from an air inlet that is defined at a first end of the at least one casing to an air outlet, at least a portion of the air passageway being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the electronic vapor provision device;
- a heating element having an axis along a longest dimension of the heating element, the axis of the heating element being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the electronic vapor provision device;
- a heating element support configured to support the heating element, wherein the heating element support is elongated, is one or both of rigid and solid, and is situated along the axis of the heating element;
- at least one gap defined between the heating element support and the heating element;
- and
- a wicking element configured to wick a liquid to the heating element.
