Abstract
An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes at least one housing, a nozzle, a piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material, a control component, and a transport element. The at least one housing may enclose a reservoir configured to retain an aerosol precursor composition. The nozzle may be coupled to the housing to discharge aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir. The control component may include a microprocessor coupled to and configured to drive the piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material to vibrate and cause a discharge of components of the aerosol precursor composition and thereby produce an aerosol for inhalation by a user. And the transport element may be configured to control an amount of aerosol precursor composition delivered from the reservoir.
Claims15
An atomizer for use with an aerosol delivery device that includes an aerosol precursor composition, the atomizer comprising:
- a piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material, wherein the piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material is configured to vibrate and cause a discharge of components of the aerosol precursor composition to thereby produce an aerosol,
- wherein the atomizer further comprises a transport element configured to deliver an amount of aerosol precursor composition to the piezoelectric or piezomagnetic material.
