Abstract
A battery section of an electronic vaping device may include a housing extending in a longitudinal direction, the housing having a first end and a second end, a power supply in the housing, a control circuit in the housing, and a conductive contact assembly at the second end of the housing, the contact assembly electrically connecting the power supply and the control circuit. The contact assembly is configured to receive external power and at least one command.
Claims24
A battery section of an electronic vaping device, the battery section comprising:
- a power supply;
- a control circuit;
- and
- a conductive contact assembly at an end of the battery section, the conductive contact assembly electrically connecting the power supply and the control circuit, and the conductive contact assembly being configured to receive external power and to receive a touch input command, wherein
- the conductive contact assembly includes a first contact and a second contact, and
- the second contact is insulated from a conductive portion of the first contact.
An electronic vaping device comprising:
- a power supply;
- a control circuit;
- a reservoir configured to hold a pre-vapor formulation;
- a heater configured to heat pre-vapor formulation drawn from the reservoir, the heater electrically connected to the power supply;
- and
- a conductive contact assembly at an end of the electronic vaping device, the conductive contact assembly electrically connecting the power supply and the control circuit, and the conductive contact assembly being configured to receive external power and to receive a touch input command, wherein
