Abstract
An aerosol-generating system may include a liquid storage portion, a vaporizer, and a pump. The liquid storage portion may be configured to store a liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The vaporizer may be configured to volatilize the liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The pump may be configured to pump air into the liquid storage portion so as to push out a volume of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate from the liquid storage portion and to supply the volume of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate to the vaporizer. A method for generating an aerosol may be performed with the system.
Claims12
An aerosol-generating system, comprising:
- a main unit configured to pump an incoming volume of air, via a tube, into an inlet of a storage portion connected to the tube to displace an outgoing volume of an aerosol-forming substrate from the storage portion and to heat the outgoing volume of the aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol.
