Electronic smoking device comprising a rigidised flexible PCB

A printed circuit board configured to mechanically support a plurality of electrical and/or electronic components which are electrically connected via conductive tracks, wherein at least some of the conductive tracks are arranged on a common flexible carrier,

• wherein a plurality of first rigidizing layers comprising a first rigidizing material is located at a first portion of a surface of the common flexible carrier to form a first rigidized zone,
• a plurality of second rigidizing layers comprising a second rigidizing material is located at a second portion of the surface of the common flexible carrier to form a second rigidized zone, wherein the first portion of the surface and the second portion of the surface are spaced apart from each other, wherein the first rigidized zone and the second rigidized zone support electrical and/or electronic components,
• wherein the electrical and/or electronic components and/or conductor tracks are attached between at least two rigidizing layers of the pluralities of first and second rigidizing layers, and
• wherein at least one of the conductor tracks connects a first one of the electrical and/or electronic components within one of the plurality of first rigidizing layers and the plurality of second rigidizing layers to a second one of the electrical and/or electronic components within the same plurality of the first rigidizing layers and the second rigidizing layers such that the at least one conductor and the first one and the second one of the electrical and/or electronic components are in the same plurality of rigidizing layers.
